In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environments, the demand for processes is more critical than ever. However, production facilities often face space constraints, with packed floors limiting the flexibility of equipment placement. In such settings, traditional systems that separate vacuum loading, mixing, and feeding can become cumbersome and inefficient. This is where innovative, compact solutions like the MixeReceiver provide both precise material handling and space-saving benefits, addressing the dual challenges of accuracy and footprint in production lines.
The MixeReceiver is a patented system that streamlines two critical processes—vacuum loading and material mixing—into a single, compact device. Combining these functions reduces the overall height of the system, freeing up valuable floor space. Its integrated design not only simplifies the material handling process but also ensures consistent blending, which is essential for maintaining product quality.
Key features include a piston that seals the bottom flap during vacuum loading, ensuring clean and efficient material transfer. The system also employs a rotary paddle level switch that detects material levels and automatically triggers new loading and mixing cycles as needed. With its easy-to-clean design and centralized control unit, the MixeReceiver also reduces downtime and maintenance, making it a cost-effective solution for facilities looking to improve operational efficiency.
In response to a customer’s request, we recently installed the MixeReceiver in a US production facility, incorporating a feeder as part of the central vacuum system. This setup allows unmixed materials to be pumped directly into the mixer, where they are thoroughly blended to achieve a homogeneous mixture. The system then use the single screw feeder to deliver the mixed material to an extruder for further processing.

The integration of the feeder into the MixeReceiver not only ensures the continuous supply of properly mixed material but also optimizes space by eliminating the need for extra fittings. When the material level in the feeder drops, the system detects the change and starts a new loading cycle, beginning again with loading unmixed material into the mixer. This fully automated process ensures consistency and accuracy, while the compact design helps alleviate the space constraints typically found on production floors.
The latest installation in the United States highlights the MixeReceiver’s ability to provide a highly efficient, space-saving solution for material handling. By integrating vacuum loading, mixing, and feeding processes into one streamlined system, it simplifies production, ensures homogenous material blending, and reduces the footprint required on busy production floors. Whether dealing with virgin or recycled materials, the MixeReceiver offers flexibility, operational safety, and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for modern production environments facing the dual challenges of precision and space.
