This master's thesis describes the development of a steam mixer intended for the homogenization of powdered mixtures. The mixer uses variable size IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers), which with their shape, safe refilling, storing and emptying as well as simple cleaning represent a device suitable for use in various industries, especially in pharmacy. It would be preferable for the concept of this mixer to have two movable clamping frames and to thus ensure flexible clamping of containers. Clamping frames’ movement is provided by a hydraulic system which was developed specifically for this purpose and the function of which is to fulfil the technical process of the mixer and to guarantee the user’s safety. For this purpose, we constructed a hydraulic scheme which contains the majority of hydraulic components envisaged for the installation in the hydraulic block, whereas the hydraulic cylinders are protected by means of special safety valves.
