Mixing Criteria for Selection of Mixer

The type of mixer is dependent on many factors some are as follows but these are not limited to the following:

• Production requirements: Batch or Continuous.

• Capacity throughput

• Characteristics and nature of product, additives and mixed material characteristics and flow ability.

• Uniformity of mix and additives.

• Quantity and percentage of Major, Minor and Micro ingredients

• Powder to liquid or liquid to solid mixing requirements.

• Does the material form lumps during mixing or require conditioning

• Clean down and contamination/ Clean down and sanitary requirements.

• Selection of suitable end seal for specific materials is very important.

• Heating or Cooling.

QUANTUM Paddle Mixers

The QUANTUM Paddle Mixer is unsurpassed for its FAST, THOROUGH BLENDING. Curved, adjustable paddle blades combine a scooping and lifting action with a unique [criss-cross" blending pattern to assure a complete uniform blend for partial batches as well as full batches.

Unlike conventional Ribbon Blenders, which tend to be slow and do not allow for blending of partial batches.

Thorough Clean-Out and Positive Discharge, this is achieved with the paddle blades being curved to conform to the contour of the mixing chamber and installed to allow a close tolerance with the mixer shell. This close tolerance assures a thorough clean-out of the chamber and a positive discharge.

QUANTUM Mixers are of heavy duty construction, giving long life and trouble free performance.

An innovative [WHIZZER" can be installed on any paddle or any plough-type fluid bed mixer to provide capabilities to de-lump, pulverise, grind, finish, blend, fiberise or intensively agitate.
