Hotmix: the innovative system for mixing chemical industry products for tanneries

The S.C. Costruzioni Meccaniche company designs, manufactures, and installs smart technology systems for various industrial sectors, with a specialisation in the tanning industry. Hotmix is an innovative reactor and mixer that allows for the creation of specific recipes and chemical compounds for treating hides and leather.The new system mixes products mainly in liquid form, but with the possibility of adding powders as well.

Thanks to the heating system in the preparation phase, Hotmix reaches an optimal temperature that favours the correct mixing of the compound: the end result is a chemical product in a liquid state ready for use. Hotmix is equipped with an electronic control system that allows the recipe of the final compound to be preset: the system automatically knows exactly which products to take and mix and in what doses, thus ensuring recipe repeatability, preventing possible mixing errors.

Hotmix also enables staff to act in complete safety, because it reduces the chemical risk due to contact with dangerous liquids or/and inhalation of toxic vapours, as a suitable extraction system can be installed. Last but not least, Hotmix can be combined with an automatic infusion system to deliver the chemical product packaged in 30, 50, or 150 litre drums directly to various tanneries.
