The conical screw mixer was developed more than 60 years ago and is widely used in mixing applications that require minimal product distortion, minimal heat generation and very accurate mixing homoginity. The conical screw mixer is recognized as a good solution for products that are delicate, heat sensitive or tending to segregate.
The design of the conical screw mixer uses gravity to generate the significant downward massflow and this saves energy compared to a horizontal mixer.
A key feature of this mixer is there is no contamination risk to the product during mixing as the shaft sealing and bearing is above the working area – hence there is no contact with the product.
The 5 most recognized applications for this mixer are:
- Gentle mixing of free-flowing powders, pastes and slurry
- Coating of solid mass, powdery products
- Moistening of powders
- Granulating of fine powders
- Drying of wet powders, pastes and slurry in vacuum and liquid recovery
Suitable industries for the conical screw mixer include food, pharmaceutical, chemical, plastics, pigments and coatings, metals and minerals.
With additional options for feeding and discharging, heating and cooling, CIP spray nozzles and vacuum drying this conical screw mixer is a versatile addition to your production facility.
