ADMIX PIC POWDER INDUCTION SYSTEM
Admix PIC – Powder Induction System with Worktable
The PIC powder induction system provides rapid introduction and wetting out of dry solids and/or liquid ingredients. Using the venturi principle to create superior suction of dry or liquid materials, the PIC system utilizes an ergonomic waist-high hopper for the addition of all ingredients required in the mix and processes 50-200 pounds per minute depending on system settings and process conditions.

BENEFITS
HOW IT WORKS
The PIC™ System includes an ergonomic table and wash-down control panel with a high performance powder suction pump that vacuum conveys from 3 to over 200 pounds per minute of any powder or solid.
For materials that are easily dissolved or suspended, the system discharge is then sent on to the next step in the process. If materials require shear to properly disperse, deagglomerate or emulsify, they are recirculated. This process requires a batch tank with in-tank high shear mixer. Alternately, the material can be processed through a DynaShear or Boston Shearmill for in-line high shear mixing, without the need for a batch mixer.
BASIC RULES FOR USE
- Maximum viscosity before or after ingredient introduction is 2500 cps.
- Maximum allowable head on discharge side is 10 psi. If head loss exceeds recommended levels, a booster pump on the discharge piping should be installed.
- Minimum incoming flow rate for the system is 35 GPM.
If soy protein, carrageenan, starch or similar products are used, a Fastfeed system may be necessary.
Most noteworthy, one significant point for all users of powder induction equipment to be aware of: It is very difficult to control with absolute precision the volume of the entrained material and its instantaneous ratio to the motive liquid. Most often, powder induction systems are mounted in a batch mixing process to insure the desired recipes are achieved.
