Case Study - 200L Mixer with 80% Loading Capacity for High Efficient Coffee Powder Mixing

Customer Case

By:Salinovate Team

We here share a powder mixer selection case to you about the tea beverage company chose a 200L high efficient powder mixer(80% loading capacity) with a vacuum feeder for coffee powder mixing.

 

 

I. Project Background

 

To begin, let us introduce the general profile and production requirements of this tea beverage company.

 

1.1 Client Overview

 

The client featured in this case study is a beverage company with a product line encompassing milk teas, fruit teas, coffee beverages, and more. Driven by current production demands, the company plans to procure a powder blending system specifically for the production of coffee powder.

 

1.2 Raw Materials and Process

 

coffee


Raw Material

Form

Function

Coffee powder

Dry powder

Main Ingredient

Milk powder

Dry powder

Flavor enhancement & smoothness

Sugar

Fine granulated

Sweetness adjustment

 

All raw materials consist of dry powders that require uniform blending to produce a standardized coffee powder base.

 

1.3 Core Requirements

 

Requirement Dimension

Specific Requirements

Equipment type

Powder Mixer (dry powder blending)

Equipment specifications

Approx. 200L

Mixing efficiency

High efficiency; large batch output

Material requirements

Food-grade; easy to clean

 

 

II. Proposal Consultation: Defining Volume and Confirming Model Selection

 

After gaining a thorough understanding of the client's powder mixing requirements, we proceeded to verify the relevant details with them before offering specific recommendations for powder mixing equipment.

 

2.1 Clarifying Volume: Total Vessel Volume vs. Actual Loading Volume

 

The client initially requested a "200L unit." During our proposal consultation, we proactively sought to clarify this point:

 

"When you refer to '200L,' are you referring to the total volume of the mixing vessel itself, or the actual volume of material loaded per batch? There is a fundamental distinction between these two figures when selecting the appropriate equipment model. We listed the SLW series 200L vessel volume one to make an explaination. "

 

Explanation of the Distinction:

Standard Model

Upgraded Model (Selected by Client)

Vessel volume

200L

200L

Loading coefficient

50%

80%

Actual loading volume

100L

160L

Applicable scenario

General mixing

High-efficiency, large batch production

 

standard and upgraded 200l mixer


After comparing the options, the client explicitly selected the "Upgraded Model" featuring a 200L vessel volume and a 160L loading capacity in order to maximize their production output per batch.

 

2.2 Material Confirmation

 

The client inquired about material requirements. Based on the material characteristics of coffee powder, milk powder, and sugar (mildly acidic and non-corrosive), we recommended the use of 304 stainless steel, which meets food-grade hygiene standards while offering excellent cost-effectiveness. The client subsequently confirmed their acceptance of 304 stainless steel as the material of choice.

 

2.3 Final Equipment Configuration

 

Item

Specification

Equipment type

Upgraded SLW series

Vessel volume

200L

Loading capacity

160 kg/batch (Loading coefficient: 80%)

Material

Food grade SS304

Control method

Button control

Mixing time

5–6 minutes/batch

 

 

III. Ancillary Upgrade

 

In many scenarios, powder mixer is paired with automated feeding systems to achieve more efficient and hygienic production. Consequently, we provided our client with corresponding recommendations.

 

3.1 Vacuum Feeder Recommendation

 

When dry powder ingredients such as coffee powder, milk powder, and sugar are loaded manually, they are prone to the following issues:

 

● Airborne dust, which compromises the operational environment

● High physical strain associated with manual handling

● Inconsistent feeding rates, which negatively impact mixing efficiency

 

Therefore, we included the option of a vacuum feeder in our quotation proposal to enable automated feeding.

 

3.2 Client Decision

 

After careful evaluation, the client confirmed the purchase of the complete equipment package comprising both the mixer and the vacuum feeder.

 

 

IV. Equipment Delivery and Installation

 

The equipment has now been manufactured and delivered to the client. The following section provides a detailed overview of the delivered equipment.

 

4.1 Equipment Features

V. Conclusion

 

During the selection process for a coffee powder mixer, the client progressed from initially specifying a 200L requirement to clarifying the precise concept of working volume. Ultimately, they selected an upgraded mixer featuring a 200L vessel capacity with 80% loading capacity, paired with a vacuum feeder to enable automated material loading. The equipment has now been installed at the facility and is ready to commence formal production.
