This Officine Meccaniche Molteni PFF 10 ES SV is a planetary mixer — sometimes referred to as a planetary blender — a type of mixing and blending machine widely used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemical manufacturing to achieve thorough, homogeneous mixing of viscous or semi-solid products. Officine Meccaniche Molteni is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for building precision mixing and processing equipment for demanding industrial applications.
The machine is built entirely from stainless steel, both the pan and the main structure, making it well suited to hygienic or corrosive-product environments. It has a 15-litre capacity pan, with pan dimensions of 300 mm diameter by 210 mm depth and an outlet of approximately 40 mm. The jacket is rated to a working pressure of 6 bar, enabling temperature control of the product during processing, while the main vessel itself operates at 0 bar. Vacuum capability is noted for both the vessel and the jacket, extending the range of processes the machine can handle.
The planetary mixing head carries two mixing and kneading shafts, driven hydraulically by a pair of Bucher ASM25 hydraulic drive units. The bottom shaft operates at a variable speed of 0–370 rpm and the middle shaft at 0–300 rpm, both via a variable speed drive. A scraper is also fitted, running at 0–50 rpm, ensuring that product does not build up on the pan walls and that mixing remains consistent throughout the batch. The pan is covered during operation.
The pan is raised and lowered hydraulically, and the machine is supplied with its switchgear included. The overall floor footprint is 2.0 × 0.5 metres with a total height of 2.1 metres. This used machine dates from 1990 and is located in Barneveld, Netherlands.
