An Optimizing Raw Material Mixing Equipment

A Case Study of Yili Company’s Operation in Indonesia

Abstract

This study is aiming to the raw material mixing equipment optimization in production for Yili Company in Indonesia. Based on the liquid raw material mixing technology of Yili Indonesia Company, it focuses on the low production efficiency and high consumption energy in its production. Combining literature research, test experiment and on-site investigation, the paper will try to optimize the mixture’s uniformity and production efficiency. Theoretical analysis combined with practical application is envisaged. The possible contribution lies in proposing new equipment design and local mixing technique which are aimed at minimizing mixing energy but also taking the quality of the mixture as a parameter.
