Mixing

Benefits of Mixing

  • Production of uniform and reproducible products across powders, granules, pastes and liquids
  • Short mixing times with high-quality results
  • Gentle treatment of fragile or heat-sensitive materials
  • Improved product flowability and reduced segregation risks
  • Dust reduction and cleaner handling environments
  • Flexibility to combine processes (mixing, granulation, coating, wetting) in one unit

Mixing Equipment

  • Ploughshare Mixer – batch mixer with mechanically generated fluid bed, ensuring short mixing times and high homogeneity.
  • Double Shaft Paddle Mixer – mixer with two counter-rotating shafts for large volumes and consistent results.
  • Planetary Mixer / Pan Mixer – mixer with planetary and rolling-wheel motion, designed for thorough and powerful blending of heavy or cohesive materials.

Typical Applications

Mixing technology is applied across diverse industries:

  • Chemicals: fertilizers, detergents, salts, pigments, urea, carbonates
  • Pharmaceuticals: granulation of excipients and actives, coating of powders and crystals
  • Food: flour, sugar, premixes, frozen products, starch and starch derivatives
  • Minerals & Building Materials: gypsum, lime, cement, clay, refractory products
  • Metals & Recycling: metallic oxides, ferroalloys, mill scale, Waelz oxides, sludges
  • Energy & Fuels: coal blends, oil-coal slurry, biomass, coke fines, alternative fuels
  • Environmental: sewage sludge, flue gas desulphurisation gypsum, waste dust stabilization

Sustainable Advantages

  • Enables recycling of industrial by-products into stable mixtures
  • Reduces airborne dust and pollution through controlled blending
  • Supports circular economy practices by re-integrating secondary raw materials into production
  • Process Testing & Development
  • Laboratory and pilot mixers provide the ability to:
  • Test mixing homogeneity with very small quantities (as little as a few kilograms)
  • Assess flowability, stability and scale-up potential
  • Verify suitability of sensitive or complex formulations before full-scale investment
