Mass Mixer

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
