With today’s environmental and economic pressures, more and more manufacturers want to quickly and efficiently reprocess out-of-spec or waste product. A typical example would be in the confectionery industry where mis-shapen sweets need to be disintegrated and dissolved so that the sugar can be reclaimed and reused.
Silverson mixers are widely used for this application and can efficiently disintegrate and dissolve individual sweets or clumps of sweets that have stuck together.
Other applications include chocolate and gelatin-based confectionery, biscuit filling waste, rubbers, polymers and paper.
