Industrial mixers and blenders for uniform and efficient mixing 

Industrial powder mixer is a equipment designed for uniform and efficient mixing

Palamatic Process industrial agitators enable the homogenization of your powders and bulk materials. They can be integrated at multiple stages within a factory production line. Several important criteria influence the choice of the appropriate mixer:

• Type of products to be mixed (viscous products, pasty products, fragile products, liquid/wet products, dry products, etc.)
• Mixing objective
• Hygiene and safety requirements specific to the industry
• Number of mixing phases required
• Environmental conditions at the production site (temperature, humidity levels, atmosphere type, etc.)

Plow and paddle mixers

Industrial paddle mixers create a much more intense mix than ribbon mixers. The paddles introduce significant amounts of air into the mix, fluidizing the particle bed in the tank and facilitating particle movement. This results in shorter mixing times compared to ribbon mixers.

Ribbon mixers

Ribbon mixers are better suited for fragile and delicate products, particularly for food or animal powders.

Container mixers

Container mixers provide homogeneous, fast, and simple mixing of powders, featuring secure container locking mechanisms.

Paddle mixers

Paddle mixers are ideal for homogenizing and mixing two or more dry or wet materials and can also transport materials during the mixing process.

Food and cosmetic industrial mixers

Certain industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics, require strict hygiene and cleanliness standards to prevent contamination or pollution of final products. To meet these standards, cleaning solutions are integrated into the mixers.

The vertical food-grade industrial mixer is perfect for mixing food powders. This mixer delivers high-quality mixing for powders and bulk materials while complying with hygiene standards in the food industry.

An Easy Clean hygienic mixer model with an extractable shaft is also available. This design facilitates operator access to various parts of the mixer, ensuring frequent and thorough cleaning. See our article: How do I clean my industrial mixing line?

What is an industrial powder mixer?

An industrial powder mixer is a machine designed to uniformly mix different powders or granules to produce a finished product that meets specific requirements.

• Improve the even distribution of components.
• Facilitate chemical or physical reactions.
• Ensure consistent quality for industrial processes such as paint, cosmetics, or food production.
• Industrial mixers typically operate through rotation, stirring, or agitation, using various mechanisms (ribbon, paddle, or conical) depending on the products and process requirements.

What are the different types of industrial mixers?

There are four main types of mixers, each suited to specific powders and industrial applications:

• Ribbon Mixers: Ideal for homogeneous mixing of fine, dry powders with rapid mixing times and high capacity.
• Paddle Mixers: Suitable for fragile products or those requiring gentle handling while ensuring a uniform mix.
• Conical Mixers: Designed for sensitive products or those with widely varying densities, ensuring gentle and uniform mixing.
• Continuous Mixers: Best for continuous production lines, allowing integration of multiple processes, such as mixing and feeding.

Each piece of equipment is designed to integrate seamlessly into specific production lines, offering options for cleaning, dust control, or containment.

In which industries are industrial mixers primarily used?

Industrial mixers are widely used in the following sectors:

• Food Processing: For producing powdered products such as bakery mixes, spices, or dairy preparations.
• Chemicals: Used in the production of fine powders, including pigments, fertilizers, and bulk chemicals.
• Pharmaceuticals: For mixing medicinal powders, ensuring uniformity and compliance with stringent sanitary standards.
• Cosmetics: For creating makeup powders, skincare products, or toothpaste.
• Battery Industry: For the precise mixing of components required for manufacturing electric batteries and cathode materials.

Palamatic Process solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of each sector, offering high-performance equipment that complies with quality and safety standards.
