Press Release: Dinnissen brings Pegasus® Mixer and Pegasus® Vacuum Coater to Asia

Versatile, fast, homogenous and energy-efficient mixing of animal feed, pet food and aquafeed

A single mixer that can produce a wide range of animal feed, pet food and aquafeed quickly, homogenously and energy efficiently and supply them entirely according to the wishes of the individual customer. That calls for a mixer which offers convenience, flexibility and versatility. The Pegasus® Mixer has been specially developed and modernised by the Netherlands-based company Dinnissen Process Technology to meet this need. In recent years, Dinnissen has replaced traditional mixers with the new, much more efficient Pegasus® Mixer all over Europe. This mixer for the animal feed, pet food and aquafeed industry is now also available for the Asian market.
Unique twin shaft Pegasus® Mixer forms heart of the production process
The new Pegasus® Mixer from Dinnissen consists of a unique twin-shaft mixing mechanism which uses the flow of air to swirl around powders, pellets and granules in order to mix them quickly (in 25-30 seconds) and extremely homogenously with low energy use. Thanks to the special dosing unit, exactly the right amount of fluid is sprayed into the mixer during this mixing process so as to create the right ingredients for the feed required by the individual customer. Precisely at the moment that powders, pellets or granules are thrown up by the airflow, up to 18 functional fluids such as proteins, vitamins, minerals, fats and oils in large quantities if required are sprayed onto the ingredient particles and mixed. Each product particle is completely coated.

The quantities involved can range from very small – 0.01-2 percent per batch weight – right the way up to extra high percentages of 30-220 percent per batch weight. Thanks to the versatility and completely optional automatic operation of the Pegasus®, this allows a wide range of recipes to be automatically processed. The Pegasus® Mixer is fast and easy to clean, making switching to a new feed recipe quickly and hygienically a simple matter.

Great precision throughout the pellet thanks to the Pegasus® Vacuum Coater
Dinnissen is now also launching its modernised Pegasus® Mixer with vacuum function onto the Asian market, especially in order to add important functional values to animal feed, pet food and aquafeed. In the Pegasus® Vacuum Coater, each pellet can be sprayed with exactly the right quantity of powder or fluid, which is then absorbed deep into the pellet. This phase in the production process is specially designed to homogeneously add even higher percentages or, at the other end of the scale, extremely small quantities. The Pegasus® Vacuum Coater offers that possibility by quickly and flexibly applying multiple layers in pelleted and extruded products in a vacuum environment. Finally, the Pegasus® Vacuum Coater enables a robust protective coating to be applied around each pellet to prevent breaking, crumbling and loss of valuable ingredients. This also means users save on the costs of cleaning transport systems. Moreover, each pellet retains its original shape and can be finished with an attractive colour or shiny coating.

Switch to a new recipe ultra hygienically and effortlessly
The compact dimensions of the Pegasus® Mixer and the Pegasus® Vacuum Coater deliver a series of important benefits for the Magi-Con® concept. For example, the mixer is quick and easy to clean, making hygienically switching to a new recipe child’s play. This remains true even if the production capacity varies greatly per recipe. For cases in which any risk of contamination with salmonella or harmful micro-organisms must be avoided, Dinnissen offers a range of hygienic custom options for the Pegasus® Vacuum Coater, such as hot air treatment and CIP cleaning.
