FAQ. Batch Mixer Knowledge.
A batch mixer mixes two or more raw materials in whole batches, as the name suggests. It is a so-called discontinuous mixer. In contrast to this are continuous mixers, in which substances are continuously fed in to ensure a continuous production flow.
Batch mixers can be completely stationary or mobile, likewise the mixing containers can be fixed or mobile. Batch mixers with mobile mixing containers are referred to as container mixers. By changing the entire mixing container, batch changes are extremely fast and the production flow is only minimally interrupted.
MIXACO invented the container mixer, which reduced the batch times with charging, mixing and discharging to only 8 minutes.
Batch mixers are available as vertical or horizontal batch mixers and in many sizes for different sized batches.
A laboratory batch mixer blends batches of up to about 12 liters – ideal for small quantities, recipe testing or product development.
The next larger batch mixer is a bag mixer or drum mixer, which can mix batches of up to 200 liters at a time.
Batch mixers are available in many other sizes for individual requirements, raw materials and throughput quantities. Up to 4,500 kg or more can be mixed in one batch. High capacities can be realized with batch mixers.
One of the advantages of batch mixers is that the combination of ingredients can be precisely controlled, guaranteeing optimum control over the quality of the final product.
Batch mixers can have different designs. The typical mixing vessel of a horizontal batch mixer has the shape of a cylinder. A vertical batch mixer is usually a v-shaped cone mixer. A variant is the double cone mixer, the mixing vessel of which narrows conically at both ends.
Batch mixers are used in many industries, for example for food, animal feed, cosmetics, tablets, plastics, paints, powder coatings, minerals, metals, rubber, PVC, detergents, cement, plaster and many more.
A batch mixer mixes dry and wet powders, granules, flakes and dusts. A good batch mixer also mixes delicate, fragile and non-uniform particles without degradation.
Due to the large number of different raw materials, it should be possible to configure a batch mixer individually for each material and recipe.
Various mixing parameters play a role in choosing the right batch mixer:
- Type of raw materials / mixed materials
- Bulk density
- Desired batch size
- Desired throughput per hour
- Targeted batch times
- Use of different sized mixing vessels / containers
- Quality of end products
- Input of heat
- Mixing intensity
- Size, shape and moisture content of the powder particles to be mixed
- Production facilities
- Integration into production processes
- Mixing accuracy
- Approved construction materials
- Energy consumption
- etc.
The desired mixing processes also influence the choice of the right batch mixer:
- Homogenize
- Agglomerate
- Deagglomeration
- Dispersing
- Moistening
- Digestion
- Melting
- Coating
- Bonding
- Mix under vacuum, moisten, dry
- etc.
Also consider factors of cleaning and hygiene when choosing a batch mixer:
- Prevent contamination
- Food safe surfaces
- Wear resistant surfaces
- Cleaning of the batch mixer between batches
- Fast drying possible
- Cleaning according to food hygiene
- etc.
