Powders, granulates, extruded products, micro-ingredients, from liquids to fresh vegetables; with Dinnissen solutions you achieve exactly the desired homogeneous result. Fast to save time, costs and energy, and accurate to prevent product damage.
In some manufacturing processes, different substances are first mixed into a homogeneous substance. After this, they go to an extruder, where the mixture is kneaded and cooked under specific humid conditions. With a Pegasus® Conditioner, these specific humid conditions can be met. In addition to mixing, the Conditioner can also regulate the moisture percentage. Steam can be injected into the sealed mixer to increase the moisture percentage and the entire mixture can be heated.
The Pegasus® Conditioner is a mixing machine with two paddle shafts rotating in opposite directions. The Conditioner can be equipped with extra-large inspection hatches or drive-out paddle shafts. For production processes with strict hygienic requirements, we have a range of additional hygienic functionalities.
Various products come together in the Conditioner’s sealed mixing chamber. The double-axis mixer quickly and precisely realizes a homogeneous mixture and uses steam and heat to determine the temperature within this mixture. The mixed product passes from the outlet to the next step in the production process. With the Pegasus® Conditioner you easily mix different types of bulk materials such as powders, water, steam and fats without segregation. The substances remain homogeneously mixed by combining the mixing process with product heating. In addition, by adding steam you can accurately determine the temperature of your product.

Mixing with a Pegasus® Batch Mixer is -as the name suggests- not a continuous process where the new product is supplied continuously and the mixed product is discharged. A predetermined quantity of product is added to the Pegasus® Batch Mixer and mixed through two paddle welds until the desired result.
In industries with strict hygiene requirements, easy cleaning between batches is very important. Therefore, the mixer can be equipped with extending shafts and/or wingdoors, for extra good accessibility. This allows the operator to thoroughly clean the entire mixer with minimal effort.
Read in our Customer Story how Holland Animal Feed replaced 18 mixers with one Pegasus® Batch Mixer with a mixing time of 40 seconds.
The Pegasus® Batch Mixer is a compact mixer capable of handling dry products and suitable for mixing sprayed-on liquids. The straight top of the Pegasus® Batch Mixer makes it easy to add and connect various components. The stainless-steel walls ensure minimal residue is left behind. Dinnissen offers several options to make the stainless steel as smooth as possible. An additional option with which the Pegasus® Batch Mixer can be supplied is bottom flaps that can open over the full length of the machine. In addition, the mixer can be equipped with roll-out shafts and/or wing doors.
The Dinnissen Pegasus® Batch Mixer consists of several components. The products to be mixed enter the mixing chamber through the top of the machine. The mixing chamber contains two shafts with paddles that rotate the product into a homogeneous mixture. The mixing shafts can be driven out of the chamber, making it easy to clean. When the Batch Mixer is finished, the double bottom valves at the bottom of the machine open, allowing the product to fall out of the mixing chamber and be transported further from there.
Generating a homogeneous blended mixture is a complicated process. Homogeneity is highly dependent on the mixing procedure used, the type of mixer, the mixing paddles and the shape of the mixing chamber. In addition, during mixing, the set rotation speed and the length of the mixing time are important
All Pegasus® Mixers are characterized by two counter-rotating paddle shafts. But Dinnissen also supplies a single-axis paddle mixer, which can be used as a pre-mixer. The single-axis paddle mixer is energy-efficient, cost-effective and efficient for light preliminary work when it comes to mixing dry substances.

Different mixing processes and products require different solutions. Dinnissen is happy to think along with you about the optimal mixing procedure for the best possible result. The big brother of the R&D Mixer is the Pegasus® Batch Mixer. In addition, we also offer Pegasus® Continuous Mixers. We offer mixers with specific functionalities, such as vacuum coating, conditioning, heating, cooling, drying, acidifying, and more.
The Pegasus® Vacuum Coater efficiently and carefully mixes your porous base product using two rotating shafts with paddles. This reduces product damage to a minimum. Multiple liquids can be added, which are incorporated deep into the product through a vacuum. A new layer of liquid and/or powder provides a complete coating of the product. This layer can have different functions. It can contain aromas and flavors, but it can also be a preservative, protective or decorative coating.
The Vacuum Coater ensures quick, highly homogeneous mixing of the base product and additives. By turning the vacuum on or off, liquids can be applied deeper or less deep into the pellet. Another advantage is the reduction of the boiling point of raw materials in a vacuum environment. This allows moisture to be extracted from specific products, fully preserving flavor, color, and functional active ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, flavorings, and enzymes.
The Pegasus® Vacuum Coater is ideally suited for the production of pet food as well as feed and aquafeed. The system can process all types of extruded product. The well-thought-out control program makes it easy to work with different recipes and to vary the vacuum application and the addition of powders and liquids. Even when it comes to small quantities, switching to a different recipe can be done very quickly and easily.
Everyone wants the best for his or her pet. Therefore, a dog or cat pellet must be full of healthy nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The Vacuum Coater ensures that these substances are absorbed easily and quickly by each pellet. Subsequently, a layer of slurry can be added. This slurry ensures the animal likes the smell and taste of the pellets. Because a slurry makes the pellets sticky, a powder coating can be added for a dry and solid pellet.
Vobra uses the Pegasus® Vacuum coater to produce pet food that is rich in all necessary fats without a greasy feel. Learn more about it in this customer story:
Video: How vacuum coating for pet food works.
The Pegasus® Vacuum Coater is very suitable for the fast and accurate processing of large quantities of pellets. This can include feed pellets for bulls, pigs, chickens, or rabbits. The recipe can be adjusted exactly to what the animals need. The composition of feed not only has an impact on animal welfare but is also crucial in other areas. For example, the composition of feed can be set to maximize feed intake and minimize methane emissions.

Fish need sufficient oils and fats, without these substances polluting the water. With the Vacuum Coater, the required substances are easily incorporated into the feed and a top layer of, for example, solidified fat can then be applied. As a result, a pebble contains all the "wet" substances a fish needs, without the pebble disintegrating when it hits the water. The top layer causes the pebble to sink and be easily eaten by the fish. A top layer can also be added to prevent the pebble from sinking. Using vacuum technology, the pebble can be produced to float, slowly sink or sink.

The Pegasus® Vacuum Coater has a very compact design and features extra-large inspection hatches, making quick and thorough cleaning very easy. As a result, it’s also easy to switch from one production recipe to another, while meeting the strictest hygienic requirements. Even if the production capacity per recipe fluctuates greatly. The Pegasus® Vacuum Coater can be equipped with easily removable paddle welds. For production processes that must meet extremely strict requirements in terms of preventing contamination with harmful microorganisms, Dinnissen also offers a range of additional hygienic functionalities for the Vacuum Coater, including hot air treatment and CIP cleaning.
The unprocessed pellets enter the Vacuum Coater through a sealed connection. After creating a vacuum, mixing is initiated and the liquid is sprayed on. The double-axis paddle mixer ensures that the product is mixed homogeneously. The built-in nozzles cause a predetermined amount of liquid to be sprayed onto the pellets. Dinnissen Vacuum Coaters are optionally equipped with product-tight bottom valves with a labyrinth seal developed by Dinnissen. This allows no product residue to remain in the seal. The result is optimal quality, safety and homogeneity.

Essentially, all Pegasus® mixers operate on a common principle. At the top, the product is fed into the mixer through an airtight seal. Dual blades, rotating in opposing directions, ensure thorough mixing. Towards the base, hatches open when the desired blend is achieved. In combination with mixing, different processes are possible.
The Pegasus® Conditioner combines diverse bulk materials such as powders, water, steam, and fats, all while preventing de-mixing. This mixer’s unique characteristic is its concurrent heating process, which guarantees uniformity in the mixture. Furthermore, by accurately controlling the temperature, you can precisely determine the moisture content of your product.
Also known as the Thermidor Mixer, The Pegasus® Thermal Mixer utilizes steam to sterilize the product to be mixed. This highly effective system can for example be used as pretreatment or salmonella control. With an astounding 99.999% reduction in microbe populations, this mixer subsequently cools the product to the desired temperature, without any risk of de-mixing.
Designed to eliminate air bubbles form mixtures, the Pegasus® Vacuum Mixer operates under vacuum conditions. This feature prevents foaming, bubble formation, contamination, and cavitation. The Pegasus® Vacuum Blender has a capacity of 10 to 3000 liters per batch and ensures a homogeneous final result without air bubbles.

By combining several process steps in one machine, the Pegasus® 5-in-1 mixer saves on both cost and energy. The dual axis mixing mechanism airily tosses powders, pellets and granules during mixing. Then the finely atomized liquid particles mix homogeneously with the dry raw materials. The 5-in-1 mixer can also dry, germinate and acidify the product. No transport is needed between the different process steps, saving time and manpower. The various process combinations make this mixer very suitable for practically any producer, in any industry, for any process.
The 5-in-1 Mixer differs from other mixers in that at least five processes can be carried out within only one system. The base product is mixed and sprayed on, the dry additives are added as a top layer and the whole is dried and cooled. The 5-in-1 Mixer can also germinate and acidify the product. A mixer from Dinnissen can always be customized to the customer's needs. Contact us for all your needs and capabilities, so together we can create a mixing system that suits your production process exactly.
After the base product is fed into the mixing chamber via an airtight connection, the product is airily mixed by a double-axis mixing system. A spray system developed by Dinnissen ensures that liquids are distributed homogeneously over the base product. Next, the mixing chamber is vacuumed. When the vacuum is subsequently lifted, the added liquids penetrate the core of each pellet. If desired, a top layer can be added and the machine can dry and cool the mixture.
