Admix Fastfeed Powder Induction and Dispersion System
Admix Fastfeed System: Revolutionizing Powder Induction and Dispersion
Simplify your batch processing and enhance product quality with the Admix Fastfeed system, a leading-edge powder induction and dispersion solution.
This skid-mounted system redefines efficiency for professionals, offering unmatched performance across diverse applications. If you’re looking to optimize your mixing kettles and streamline liquid dry processing, the Fastfeed is engineered for superior results. It’s more than just an admix mixer; it’s a comprehensive system designed to elevate your production.
The Admix Fastfeed powder induction and dispersion system is meticulously engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality product, regardless of batch size. This integrated, skid-mounted system is transforming batch processing, empowering manufacturers to:
- Cut Batch Times Dramatically: Reduce your batch processing time by up to 50%, boosting your overall production capacity
- Enhance Operator Safety and Ergonomics: Design prioritized operator well-being, creating a safer and more ergonomic workspace.
- Reduce Energy Consumption: Achieve significant energy savings of up to 70%, contributing to lower operational costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
- Eliminate Dusting and Minimize Air Entrainment: Create a cleaner and safer production environment while ensuring optimal product integrity.
The Fastfeed system excels at inducting, wetting, and dispersing a wide range of ingredients, instantly eliminating “fisheyes” and agglomerates. From proteins and gums to starches, vitamins, fiber, sweeteners, stabilizers, emulsifiers, flavors, and colors, the system disperses these materials at impressive rates – up to 450 pounds per minute in a single pass.
Specifically tailored for meat and poultry processors, the Fastfeed system provides inline simultaneous powder induction (up to 160 lbs/minute) and dispersion, adaptable to any batch size, ensuring consistent product quality and efficient production.

How the Fastfeed System Works: Vacuum and High Shear Technology
The Fastfeed system ingeniously combines the suction power of a “vacuum pump” with the efficient wetting and shearing capabilities of a high-speed emulsifier, all within a user-friendly and ergonomically designed unit.
1. Efficient Powder Induction: Powders are introduced into the hopper from bags or directly conveyed from the source using optional accessories like a wand attachment, bag dump, or bulk delivery system.
2. Eliminating Bridging and Ratholing: The system’s suction pump creates a consistent vacuum within the flow stream, preventing powder bridging and ratholing. A mechanical vibrator further assists with challenging ingredients, ensuring consistent powder flow.
3. Instantaneous Fluidization and Dispersion: Once inducted, the powder undergoes rapid fluidization and is quickly pumped through the integrated DynaShear inline emulsifier. This high shear mixer reduces droplet and soft particle size down to an impressive 4-5 microns upon exiting the unit.
4. Precise Feed Rate Control: Regulating valves on the inlet precisely control the powder feed rate. This ensures that even sticky gums and free-flowing granules are dispersed quickly and at the correct concentrations, preventing product slugs or premature hydration.

Fastfeed System Overview: Key Components and Functionality
The Fastfeed system is built upon a portable worktable and includes:
- Hopper: Ergonomically designed for easy powder addition.
- Self-Priming Liquid Ring Pump: Creates vacuum for efficient powder induction.
- Dynashear® High Shear Inline Mixer/Emulsifier: Provides rapid and complete powder dispersion.
- Vacuum Gauge: Monitors system performance.
- Valves and Controls: For precise operation and adjustments.
The system seamlessly connects to your liquid source or recirculation tank. Operators simply pour ingredients into the waist-height hopper, flood the system, and initiate powder induction. The liquid ring pump draws powder at speeds up to 500 lbs./minute (model dependent), passing it through the Dynashear® for immediate fluidization and shearing. This results in slurries with particle sizes reduced to 4-5 microns in a single pass.
Ergonomic and Mechanical Features:
- 316L Stainless Steel Contact Surfaces: Ensures sanitary operation with blended and polished welds.
- NEMA 4X Control Panel: Durable and reliable control in demanding environments.
- Optional Double Mechanical Seal: For abrasive applications, enhancing system longevity.
- Optional Wand for Liquid Additions: Adds versatility to your process.
Fastfeed: Your Partner in Mixing Technology
The Fastfeed product line represents the ideal solution for high-performance, ergonomic feeding and dispersion of powder ingredients into mix tanks. Its core components – a specially designed liquid ring pump and a high shear mixer – work synergistically to ensure rapid incorporation and complete wetting out of even the most challenging powders.
Key System Advantages
- Uniform and Effective Powder Flow: Minimizes traditional powder flow issues like bridging and rat-holing through vacuum technology and mechanical vibration.
- Continuous Powder Suction: Maintains consistent powder feed even as viscosity and solids levels increase, preventing system plugging.
- Adjustable Powder Feed Rates: Regulating valves, with optional automation, ensure precise and efficient addition of dry materials.
- Complete 100% Dispersion: The integrated Dynashear® high-speed, high-shear mixer achieves full dispersion in a single pass for many applications. Recirculation loop configurations are available for multiple passes if desired, and a single Fastfeed system can feed multiple tanks.
