General - Paddle Mixer with Tilting

• Mixing dry powders, granules, and pastes in the food industry.
• Blending chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
• Agglomerating materials or coating particles.
• Homogenising slurries and viscous products.
• Preparing animal feed or fertilisers.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 litres to several thousand litres, depending on the specific model and intended use.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power based on mixer size and material viscosity.

Mixing action

Paddle mixers provide a gentle yet thorough mixing action, suitable for delicate products or those requiring minimal shear. The tilting feature aids in discharge and cleaning.

Construction material

Most industrial paddle mixers, particularly for food or pharmaceutical use, are constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The footprint can vary significantly; buyers should consider the overall dimensions including the tilting mechanism and required operating space.

Discharge method

The tilting mechanism facilitates complete discharge of the mixed product, often into trolleys or conveyors, and simplifies cleaning.
