Bespoke - 800Ltr Paddle Mixer

• Homogeneous blending of dry powders, granules, and pastes in food production.
• Mixing of ingredients for baked goods, snacks, and confectionery.
• Combining components for ready meals and processed food products.
• Blending various food ingredients to achieve consistent texture and flavour profiles.

Typical capacity

This unit is specified at 800 litres. Paddle mixers in this class commonly range from 500 litres to several thousand litres.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Mixing mechanism

Features a single shaft with paddles designed for gentle yet thorough mixing. Paddle configurations vary to suit different product viscosities and densities.

Discharge method

Equipped with 'bomb door' discharge, which allows for rapid and complete emptying of the chamber, suitable for high-viscosity or sticky products.

Construction material

For food processing applications, these mixers are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The footprint for an 800-litre paddle mixer will be substantial, requiring adequate floor space and headroom for loading and discharge operations.

• What types of products are best suited for a paddle mixer?

  Paddle mixers are highly effective for blending dry, granular, and powdered materials, as well as viscous pastes and slurries. They are less suitable for delicate products requiring very low shear.

• How does bomb door discharge benefit operations?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used paddle mixer?

• Can this mixer handle both wet and dry ingredients?

• What should I consider regarding installation for a mixer of this size?

Food processing mixers and processors are valued for their durability and reliability when sourced used. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and robust construction. Key considerations include motor condition, bowl or chamber integrity, and compatibility with existing production lines. These units generally perform well across multiple applications, from batch mixing to food preparation. Stainless steel components and established brands tend to command buyer confidence in the secondhand market.
