The success of a company is given by the combination of several factors. Apinox was founded on 14th April 1981, in a factory building in the village of Godega di Sant’Urbano, in Italy, by a small group of people with two main features in common: the eagerness to do and a great experience behind them.

The manufacturing site became soon limited in space and in 1987 Apinox moved to its present location in the industrial zone of castello Roganzuolo, San Fior.

Apinox has been growing continuously and constantly, investing year after year, in new technologies which allows a flexible and versatile workforce.

Apinox produces several solutions for for bakery industry, chewing gum, gum base, soft toffee and sealants.

It is suitable only for lines designed and manufactured exclusively for soft biscuits and/or soft and delicate dough (not for hard biscuits tp. Marie).
The product capacity of the mixer will depend on the recipe and on the degree of automation of the ingredient feeding process.

A conveyor belt for direct discharge of the dough can be positioned under the mixing bowl of the mixer type “RML” permitting the automation of the working cycle of the mixer and a continuous feeding of the production line.
The advantage of discharging directly the whole dough on a conveyor belt without the operator intervention and not into wheeled tubs enables the elimination of all tilting, lifting and handling devices.

The main technical features of the horizontal mixer machine RML

The main technical features start from the shaftless arm that is designed to achieve during the production of the machine, the rapid and evenly dispersion of all ingredients and a controlled dough development process.

Other technical points are the elimination of the central shaft improves considerably the discharge, the cleaning and the dough hygiene.

More technical details are:

The mixing arm ensures that the ingredients loaded by hand into any part of the mixing bowl are dispersed throughout the mix rapidly;
The bowl for mixing the product, made out completely in stainless steel, includes a jacket on its whole section for the temperature control;
