FAQ. Cone Mixer Knowledge.
A conical mixer has – as the name suggests – a cone-shaped mixing vessel in which two or more components are mixed. In contrast, the design can also be a drum, cylinder, cube or tetrahedron due to the geometry of the mixing vessel.
Cone mixers are mostly batch mixers or discontinuous mixers in which batches of mix are processed and removed one after the other (in contrast to continuous mixers).
According to the type of force input, a conical mixer can have a movable mixing vessel or movable mixing tools – usually these are augers or paddles / paddles. Accordingly, there are different types of cone mixers:
Cone screw mixer
The classic conical mixer has a rotating spiral or screw through which the material to be mixed is conveyed upwards along the container wall. The material sinks down over the center and is fed back into the mixing process. This is known as the convective mixing effect.
Cone twin screw mixer
In the twin screw mixer, two symmetrically mounted screws convey the mix from the bottom to the top. Due to gravity, the mix flows downwards in the middle, where it is picked up again by the screws.
Unlike the moving mixing tools, however, a cone mixer can also transfer force to the mixture inside by moving the mixing vessel. This type of mixer is often referred to as a drum mixer. A classic drum mixer is the cement mixer on the construction site.
MIXACO cone mixers have both moving tools and a moving mixing container that is turned upside down for the mixing process. Although it is not a classic drum mixer, the combination of the moving mixing tools and the overhead mixing achieves better mixing results and is much easier to clean than in a conventional conical mixer with a fixed mixing chamber.
In addition, MIXACO conical mixers can be equipped not only with screws and paddles, but also with numerous other mixing tools, some of which are patented. Thus, a MIXACO conical mixer can be used more flexibly and individually than conventional conical mixers.
Especially in food production, smaller mixers with particularly short mixing cycles are in demand. Feeding, mixing process and discharge should be as fast as possible.
No other conventional conical mixer can be emptied as quickly as a MIXACO conical mixer, because the principle of exchangeable mixing vessels or containers means that the next batch can be mixed directly while the previous mix in the container is fed to the next production step. Process interruptions for emptying are virtually non-existent.
