HORIZONTAL HELICAL BLADE MIXER

Technology: The 4 Mixing elements of the Helical Blade Mixer provide significant benefits over the conventional ribbon or spiral mixer. The efficient blade design and slow rotational speed combine with a short length to diameter ratio to give a fast gentle mix with low power consumption. The 4 interrupted spirals are supported by our patented clean arm, attaching around not through the central shaft and forming a strong and hygienic assembly.

Applications: Include Powder cosmetics, Granular Sausage spice, herb mixes and Car Body Filler Pastes. ( Click here for more applications for Helical Blade Mixer )

Sizes: Available in 20 Standard sizes from 50 L to 10,000 L, non standard and continuous versions are custom built to match your process.

The key benefits of the Helical Blade Mixer are:-

1. The Omega shape of the mixing shell ensures all the product is entrained by the helical blades and with the addition of a cylindrical shell and scraper blades for thick pastes materials all surfaces are swept.
2. The Helical blades lift and fold the mixture in an end to end pattern giving the versatility to mix dry and damp powders, pastes, slurries and liquids.
3. The mixing is so efficient trace and minor ingredients can be added directly into the mixer avoiding the need for a pre mix.
4.  Accurate scale up from our pilot scale test machines can be guaranteed using test results to calculate the Mixing blade size and power to the batch size you require.
5. Our continuing test and development program ensures you have the latest technology built into your mixer and a future upgrade path using the same length to diameter ratio and standard parts across our horizontal mixer range.
6. Easy to clean with our Patented Clean arm attachment and only 4 mixing blades for any size of machine.
7. Simple design, minimum number of working parts; the drive in particular can be obtained 'off the shelf' from many suppliers. This results in a lower capital cost, less maintenance and shorter cleaning times.
8. A range of options easily incorporated to extend processing applications.
9. Batch and continuous machines available in sizes ranging from laboratory to large mass production units.
