Feeder Mixers

PTL Feeder Mixers are used to combine measured amounts of chocolate and inclusions inline, to be fed into a depositor.  First chocolate/compound is fed into the feed end of the screw chamber.  Then a separate dry screw feeder delivers dry products to the mixing screw.  The main mixer feeds and mixes the product to the outlet end.  This is then directed into the depositor hopper.  Note:  Depending on application, wet feed can be first or second.  Can also be used for mixing colour and flavour.
