Coco Powder, Whey, and Spice Additives into Milk: Here a dairy manufacturer needed to continuously blend pulverized coconut meat, whey, and flavorings into milk on its way to an interim process. The motive nozzle in the slurry eductor maintains the milk at a fixed, constant flow rate, enabling three loss-in-weight feeders to drop additives into the washdown hopper at a constant feed rate, producing the desired mixture with uniform solids/liquids ratio.

Plastic pellets from pelletizers: Fox eductors have been used for twenty years to transport plastic pellets from the end of extruder lines and various types of pelletizers.
Dyes/Pigments: A premeasured amount of powdered dye is dissolved and dispersed into a batch tank via a Fox Slurry Eductor. Solids addition is controlled by a simple slide gate valve to prevent plugging and improve dispersion.
