FAQ. Dry Mixer Knowledge.

What is a Dry Mixer?

A dry mixer is a mixer for dry substances and powders. The main function of dry mixers is to produce mixtures that are as homogeneous as possible. In contrast, the focus of a “wet mixer” is on decomposition and new composition of substances.

Dry mixers are largely used in industry for high throughput and product premixing.

Industrial dry mixers are required in various industries for the production of numerous products, for example, food, pet food, chemicals, plastics, building materials, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or rubber.

Although a dry mixer predominantly mixes dry, dry substances are often to be mixed with liquids or coated during mixing. Since this application is frequently used in addition to pure dry mixing, conventional dry mixers can actually also always mix “moist”. One could therefore say that a dry mixer is also a wet mixer if required and if the technical design is correct.

The dry part of the mixture usually predominates, which is why the term dry mixer has become established for this type of mixer. It also makes it easier to distinguish dry mixers from fluid mixers, which specialize in mixing liquids.

Dry mixing is primarily “only” about homogenization and not about material reactions, the mixing time is rather short compared to the fluid mixer. MIXACO dry mixers can produce perfect homogeneity in as little as 3 minutes – depending, of course, on the raw materials, their bulk density and the material concentration.

Dry mixers can be differentiated according to various designs, functions and mixing tools, each suitable for specific raw materials and applications.

According to design, cone mixers, double cone mixers, V-mixers or drum mixers can be distinguished. In addition, there are vertical or horizontal dry mixers. Container mixers can have different designs as long as the mixing container is exchangeable.

A belt or paddle dry mixer gets its name due to the shape of the tool, here the raw materials are mixed with the help of a belt or paddle.

Based on the basic mode of operation, a distinction can be made between continuous dry mixers and discontinuous dry mixers or batch dry mixers.

The term “dry mixer” is therefore not really firmly defined. It basically only says that a dry mixer is designed primarily for mixing dry substances and powders, and thus includes different mixer models.

The Right Dry Mixer

Which is the optimal dry mixer for your raw materials depends on various aspects:

  • Type of raw materials – fine or chunky
  • Density & volume of raw materials
  • Raw materials / powders free flowing or sticky
  • Mixing of different particle sizes and textures
  • Fragile materials
  • Quality of final products
  • Temperature sensitive dry materials
  • Size, shape and moisture content of the powder particles to be mixed
  • Production equipment
  • Integration into production processes
  • Mixing accuracy
  • Approved materials of construction
  • Energy consumption
  • Throughput
  • etc.

The desired applications and mixing processes also influence the choice of the right dry mixer:

  • Homogenize
  • Coating
  • Injecting liquids or gases
  • Agglomerate
  • Deagglomeration
  • Dispersing
  • Vacuum drying
  • Humidification
  • etc.

Hygiene and safety aspects also play a role in the choice of dry mixer:

  • Prevent cross contamination
  • Food safe surfaces
  • Cleaning of the dry mixer between batches
  • Fast drying
  • Cleaning according to food hygiene
  • Dust-free mixing possible
  • Explosion-proof mixing according to Atex necessary
  • Real-time monitoring of mixing processes
  • Simple & safe operation
  • etc.
