About Mass Mixer

A Mass Mixer is an industrial machine used to mix wet and dry materials thoroughly. Its commonly used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and cosmetic industriesespecially for wet granulation processes in tablet production. What is a Mass Mixer? A Mass Mixer consists of a horizontal mixing drum fitted with a single stirrer with specially designed blades that rotate on a horizontal axis. The materials (often powder and binding agents) are loaded into the mixer, where they are blended into a homogeneous wet mass. Key Components: Mixing Tank/Drum: Stainless steel, rectangular or U-shaped. Stirrer/Agitator Blades: Paddle-type blades rotate and churn the mix. Motor & Gearbox: Provide torque to rotate the shaft. Discharge Port: Bottom discharge with a manually or pneumatically operated valve. Cover & Safety Guard: For dust containment and safety. Control Panel: To operate and adjust mixing time/speed. Advantages of a Mass Mixer: Uniform wet mixing of ingredients Heavy-duty and rugged for tough materials Low maintenance Can be custom-fitted with jacketed tanks for heating/cooling Suitable for binders and granulating fluids Applications: Pharmaceuticals: Wet granulation of powders before tableting Food: Dough or paste mixing (e.g., spices, nutraceuticals) Cosmetics: Cream base or powder blending Chemicals: Pigments, detergent powder pre-mixing The mass mixer is a workhorse for wet blending, especially in tablet or granule preparation, offering robust and uniform mixing under hygienic conditions. Its a go-to machine for mixing sticky or cohesive materials that are hard to blend by tumbling-type mixers.
