Paddle Mixer with Tilting

• Mixing dry powders, granules, and pastes in food production.
• Blending pharmaceutical ingredients and chemical compounds.
• Homogenising animal feed and agricultural products.
• Processing construction materials like mortar or grout.
• Combining cosmetic ingredients and personal care products.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 to 500 litres, depending on the specific model and material density.

Power supply

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

Material of construction

Paddle mixers are commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for contact parts, especially in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Mixing action

Features a gentle yet thorough mixing action, suitable for fragile or abrasive materials, reducing product degradation.

Tilting mechanism

The tilting function, commonly hydraulic or electric, facilitates complete discharge of mixed product and simplifies cleaning.

Footprint

The overall dimensions for this type of unit, including the tilting mechanism, typically require a floor space of around 1.5m x 1.5m.

• What types of materials are paddle mixers best suited for?

  Paddle mixers are highly effective for blending dry powders, granular materials, and viscous pastes. They are particularly good for delicate products or those requiring a low-shear mixing action.

• How does the tilting feature benefit operations?

• Is this type of mixer suitable for sanitary applications?

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

• Can this mixer handle both wet and dry ingredients?

Lab mixers and stirrers hold strong reputations for reliability and durability. Buyers typically prioritise motor condition, speed range suitability, and vessel compatibility when purchasing used units. The equipment category is valued for consistent performance across research and production settings. Key strengths include robust construction, straightforward maintenance, and long operational lifespans. Corrosion resistance of wetted parts merits careful inspection. These devices remain dependable workhorses in pharmaceutical, biotech, and laboratory environments, offering solid value when sourced from reputable sellers with clear service histories.
