Kemutec and Baker Perkins technologies on show at CHEMUK 2023: Birmingham NEC, UK, 10th – 11th May 2023.
Powder processing specialist, Kemutec, and sister company, Baker Perkins, both part of Schenck Process Group, will be exhibiting on stand E36 at CHEMUK at the NEC in Birmingham, UK, 10th – 11th May 2023.
Kemutec will be exhibiting a range of milling, sifting, and mixing equipment ideally suited to Chemical industry applications from its long-established product brands, KEK, PPS, and Gardner.
As co-exhibitor, Baker Perkins will highlight its twin-screw extrusion capabilities for specialist chemical applications such as powder coatings production.

Showcasing powder processing equipment from Kemutec
Kemutec’s technologies enable size reduction, screening, size classification, mixing, and blending. All Kemutec equipment is designed to be simple to operate and maintain and easy to clean to increase productivity.
Visit stand E36 at the event to see the Gardner Ribbon Mixer, KEK Centrifugal Sifter, and the new PPS Easy-clean Air Classifier Mill.
The Gardner Ribbon Mixer is designed for consistent, homogenous batch or continuous blending of powders and granules. Its performance varies from gentle blending to high-intensity mixing.
The ribbon mixer is a popular choice of mixing equipment due to the wide range of powders and bulk solids it can handle. It offers versatile and highly scalable mixing capabilities for a more efficient process.
The Gardner Ribbon Mixer is easily transformed into a Plough Mixer by simply changing the internal agitator.
The KEK Centrifugal Sifter is used to sift and screen high volumes of material at high speed and efficiency.
The process of sifting material not only allows for size classification, separating material that is not the required size, but also ensures a ‘screening process’ by removing unwanted material and de-risking powder handling.
Featuring a hinged-end door with a specialised cantilever design, the KEK Centrifugal Sifter offers unprecedented easy access for cleaning and rapid screen change functionality, averaging just 30 seconds.
The new PPS Easy-clean Air Classifier Mill will also be displayed on the stand. Like the standard models of the PPS Air Classifier Mill, the PPS Easy-clean Air Classifier Mill, is designed for ultra-fine, highly controlled particle size reduction and can be used for milling and grinding heat-sensitive material.
The Easy-clean models are ideal for quick product changeovers and hygienic cleanability. The design allows full cleaning access to the mill’s internals and grinding media, resulting in up to 300% faster cleaning to reduce downtime and maximise production uptime.
Baker Perkins’ new HPX extruder range
New HPX High Power twin-screw extruders from Baker Perkins deliver superior outputs on specialist chemical applications from a smaller barrel, with reduced cost of ownership and machine downtime.
Increased power and speed are key attributes of the new HPX45 and HPX35 extruders, achieved by full utilisation of the motor through torque stability provided by the patented MAX³ feed system and increased thrust capacity of the solid-shaft drive train.
The MPX series twin-screw extruders are available for applications requiring through-shaft cooling.
All Baker Perkins extruders feature a clamshell design, which provides easy access for in-situ cleaning and maintenance operations.
Baker Perkins recently introduced a new range of stainless-steel belt cooling conveyors designed to cool extruded material efficiently and produce flakes ideally sized for feeding into the milling stage of the process. The range is sized to match the outputs of Baker Perkins’ HPX and MPX extruders and integrates seamlessly into the production line.
Together, Baker Perkins and Kemutec now offer the ultimate seamless, end-to-end powder coating production process that fully addresses customer and market requirements from one trusted supplier.
