Patent number: 12383877Abstract: A system for continuous processing of powder products includes a first inlet configured to input a first dry powder product, a second inlet configured to input a second dry powder product, and a dry powder mixing device that mixes the first dry powder product together with the second dry powder product to form a product mixture. An outlet dispenses the product mixture from the dry powder mixing device. A production machine is included and has a powder feed frame comprising a feed frame inlet connected to the outlet of the dry powder mixing device. The outlet of the dry powder mixing device is positioned at a lower level than the feed frame inlet. A product conveying device is connected between the outlet of the dry powder mixing device and the feed frame inlet to continuously convey the product mixture from the dry powder mixing device to the feed frame inlet.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: Fette Compacting GmbHInventors: Joris Vanderputten, Jozef Verheyen, Kris Schoeters, Nicolas Walter, Sven Kolbe
