The Global Glass Hydra-Mix Blending and Conveying System is acknowledged as the industry leader in batch wetting and blending processes. Serving many well-known glassmakers worldwide, the Hydra-Mix is a complete, automatic and ruggedly built system.
The Hydra-Mix is composed of three main sections: the drive section, the conveying section and the blending section. The newly introduced drive section utilizes a TEFC, Super E Motor with a belt drive connection to a shaft mounted speed reducer to provide torque to the drive shaft. The drive belt and sheaves are enclosed for safety with a removable cage for easy maintenance.
The conveying and mixing section utilize hardened steel flights and paddles bolted through the main shaft for maximum strength and easy access for maintenance. The mixing section utilizes expanded metal covers with safety interlocks, allowing maintenance personnel to view the section while running. The expanded metal is covered with aluminum diamond plate to provide a dust seal while remaining light enough for one person to remove.
The wetting section utilizes a manifold for wetting agent distribution to the brass spray nozzles. Pressurized air connected to the Hydra-Mix provides greater atomization of the agent and better overall wetting of the batch while also allowing the nozzles to be blown free when wetting is stopped to prevent clogging.
The integrated proportional wetting system provides precise and constant (+/- 0.1%) batch humidity in single, multi or variable speed operation. The Hydra-Mix is credited as a valuable profit partner in various phases of production, ranging from enduring, improved quality and uniformity to better batch distribution and including greater glass output and reduced fuel consumption.
