Jiangyin Baoli Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

This Thai customer has been working with spices for years. Chili, turmeric, pepper, mixed seasonings… each product has its own flavor profile and aroma that must stay clean and consistent. To keep things under control, they follow a simple rule on their production floor: “one spice, one grinder.” This new order is their 7th spice pulverizer from us — again with a 50 kg/h capacity, again for a single dedicated product line. The idea is not to push huge tonnage through one big machine, but to build a modular grinding setupwhere each grinder is tuned to one material and one recipe. Instead of constantly cleaning and switching products on a shared grinder, they let each machine “specialize” in one spice. That brings three very practical benefits: Process parameters (screen mesh, feeding, target fineness) stay fixed for each spice. Cross-contamination of flavor, color and aroma is almost eliminated. Cleaning is easier and less urgent, because the same material runs on the same machine every day. For this project, the customer chose the same 50kg/h spice pulverizer configuration they already know: compact footprint, suitable for a wide range of spices, and easy to operate for their existing team. Operators don’t need to relearn anything — once you know one machine, you know them all. In this setup, the screen (sieve) is the key wear part. Over time, fine and sometimes abrasive spice particles gradually wear the screen. When needed, the customer simply swaps in a new screen to recover both throughput and particle size control. They also use different mesh sizes to fine-tune the final powder fineness for different products, so the screen is both a consumable and a process adjustment tool. With seven identical 50 kg/h units on the floor, the Thai customer now has a flexible “grid” of spice grinders rather than a single point of failure. If one machine is down for maintenance, the others keep running. If a new spice product is launched, they simply assign a new dedicated machine — same design, same spare parts, same way of working.

1. Project Overview: Clean Mixing for Food-Grade Phosphate Additives A new customer from Russia, active in food additive (phosphate powder) production, needed to upgrade their mixing section. Their goal was to achieve high-throughput, dust-free, homogeneous mixing while maintaining strict hygiene and operator safety standards. To support this, they decided to invest in two sets of vertical ribbon mixers, each designed for 500 kg/h mixing capacity and configured to work with a dust-free feeding station. The equipment is built to European-quality standards, targeting both performance and long-term reliability. 2. Customer Challenges: Dust, Residue, and Efficiency Before this project, the customer faced three main issues in their phosphate powder blending: Serious dust during feeding Manual bag dumping and open feeding points created dust clouds around the mixer inlet, affecting operators and making it harder to meet hygiene and safety requirements. Mixing efficiency and batch cycle time Existing equipment had longer mixing times, making it difficult to handle growing orders and tight delivery schedules. They needed a faster mixer that could still guarantee homogeneity. Residue and product changeover Product build-up and dead corners inside older mixers caused material residue, which complicated cleaning and raised concerns about cross-contamination between different phosphate-based formulations. 3. Supplied Solution: Two 500kg/h Vertical Ribbon Mixers with Dust-Free Feeding To address these issues, we supplied two vertical ribbon mixers, each paired with a dust-free feeding station, tailored to the customer’s phosphate powder application: Vertical ribbon mixer, 500 kg/h per set Each mixer is designed to process around 500 kg/h of phosphate powder, with a typical cycle time of 5–10 minutes per batch. This fast batch time supports high throughput while still achieving uniform blending. Fast mixing, no residue design The vertical body with a ribbon agitator provides strong axial and radial movement of the powder, delivering short mixing times and high homogeneity. The internal geometry is carefully optimized to avoid dead corners, ensuring no material residue after discharge and simplifying cleaning. Dust-free feeding station Material is loaded via a dust-free feeding station, where operators can empty bags into an enclosed hopper with dust extraction. This greatly reduces airborne powder, protects operators and keeps the mixer inlet and surrounding area clean. European-quality build The mixers are designed and manufactured following European-quality standards, with robust construction, precise fabrication and reliable components. This is especially important for food additive production where consistency and uptime are critical. 4. Performance in Operation: Stable Output and Clean Working Environment After installation and commissioning, the Russian customer reported clear improvements in daily production: Stable 500 kg/h per mixer With each vertical ribbon mixer running 5–10 minutes per batch, the line can meet the target 500 kg/h throughput per set. Production planning has become more predictable, and the plant can respond more easily to order peaks. Dust-free material feeding The dust-free feeding stations dramatically reduced visible powder emissions during bag dumping and charging, improving the working environment and helping the customer comply with local safety and hygiene standards. Clean discharge and easy product changeover Thanks to the “no residue” mixing chamber design, nearly all product is discharged at the end of each batch. This reduces material loss and allows faster cleaning and changeovers between different phosphate formulations. Consistent, European-level quality With uniform mixing and repeatable batch performance, the customer can deliver consistent phosphate powder blends to their end users, reinforcing their positioning as a supplier using European-quality mixing equipment. 5.

1. Project Background: Arabic Gum Powder for Food and Pharma Use Our UK customer is a processor and packer of arabic gum powder used in food, beverage and pharma-related applications. They purchase arabic gum in granular or irregular chunks and need to pulverize, classify and mix it into a stable, fine powder ready for filling and downstream blending. The existing process relied on smaller standalone mills and manual mixing, which led to inconsistent fineness, unstable capacity and frequent manual intervention. To support long-term contracts with brand owners, the customer wanted a dedicated milling + screening + mixing line with stable throughput and long service life. 2. Customer Pain Points: Consistency and Long-Term Reliability During the technical discussions, the customer highlighted several key pain points: Unstable capacity Output varied significantly depending on operator and raw material condition. This made it hard to plan production and meet tight delivery schedules. Inconsistent product fineness Without proper classification, some batches were too coarse and others overly fine, affecting dissolution behavior and performance in formulations. Unstable motor load Manual or gravity feeding caused fluctuations in load and current. This increased mechanical stress and raised concerns about long-term reliability. Need for a long-service solution The customer wanted a line that could run for decades with planned wear-part replacement, not a “throwaway” machine that would require full replacement after a few years. 3. Solution: 120kg/h Arabic Gum Milling & Mixing Line In response, we supplied a 120kg/h arabic gum powder milling and mixing line tailored to the UK customer’s requirements. The key configuration features are: Designed capacity: 120 kg/h The line is engineered to deliver a stable 120 kg/h of finished arabic gum powder under normal operating conditions, covering current order volume with room for moderate growth. Crushing + screening for controlled fineness Arabic gum is first mechanically pulverized, then passed through a screening section. By selecting the proper screen mesh, the customer can precisely control the final powder fineness to match different application needs. Screw feeding for uniform material input A screw feeding system delivers raw material into the mill at a controlled rate. This ensures uniform feeding, which directly stabilizes the grinding process, reduces blockages and helps maintain consistent product quality. Stable current and stable capacity Because the feed is even, the mill runs under stable current and load. This reduces mechanical and electrical stress on the motor, smooths out capacity and improves overall process reliability. Integrated mixing capability After milling and classification, the powder is discharged into a mixing section (or integrated mixer, depending on layout). This ensures homogeneous product, ready for packing or for further use in customer-specific blends. 4. Lifetime and Maintenance: 20-Year Equipment Life, Planned Wear Parts The line is designed not only for performance today, but also for long-term operation: Equipment lifetime up to 20 years With proper routine maintenance and normal operating conditions, the core equipment is designed to remain in service for around 20 years. Structural parts, frames, housings and main mechanical components are dimensioned for long-term duty. Cutters as wear parts (6–12 months) The cutters (blades/beaters) in the milling chamber are treated as normal wear parts. Depending on material hardness, running hours and cleaning practices, typical service life is 6–12 months before sharpening or replacement is needed. This is clearly communicated as part of the maintenance plan so the customer can stock spare cutters and avoid unplanned downtime. Stable load = reduced stress Thanks to the screw feeder and stable current, the motor and mechanical components are less exposed to overloads and shock loads, which helps extend service life and keep total cost of ownership under control. 5. Results: Controlled Fineness, Stable Output, Predictable Maintenance After commissioning and ramp-up, the UK customer reported several concrete improvements: Consistent 120 kg/h output The line runs at its design capacity with minimal operator intervention, making production planning more accurate and reducing overtime needs. Precisely controlled product fineness By selecting screen mesh sizes, the customer can ensure that each batch of arabic gum powder meets the required fineness specifications for different end uses. Stable current and smoother operation The screw feeding system keeps motor current within a narrow band. This has improved reliability, reduced nuisance stops and made the process more predictable for operators. Clear maintenance strategy With a 20-year design lifetime for the main equipment and a defined 6–12 month life for cutter wear parts, the customer can plan maintenance and spare-part inventory instead of reacting to unexpected failures. 6.
