POWDER MIXERS FOR THE PROCESSING INDUSTRY

Mixing can be carried out in single batches or continuously and this is one of the first decisions to be made prior to specifying equipment. Historically a batch powder mixer is the more frequently used and for product control, identification and traceability it has many advantages, in the pharmaceutical industry for example. However where large volumes are involved in the mineral, chemical and food industries then a continuous mixing system has advantages.

Working with a supplier who offers a full range of both batch and continuous mixers for different applications and with the capability of more than single mixing processes has definite advantages for the customer. We are happy to help you 'max your mixer' by making all the right choices; saving you time, cost of additional equipment and leaving less risk potential in product transfer between process stages.

Engineers designing continuous mixing systems which ensure mixing homogeneity need to pay close attention to the accuracy and control of the feed system for the powders, solids and liquids. This is particularly so where the residence time in the powder mixer is very small. Time and money spent on an accurate and reliable feed system is well spent.
