Sanitary, Jacketed Rotary Batch Mixer

The model 700-TH-20-SSJ, sanitary, jacketed rotary batch mixer is designed with a stationary inlet and discharge, and a rotating drum with proprietary mixing flights that tumble, turn and fold material gently while achieving 100% uniformity in two to three minutes. Disparities in the bulk densities, particle sizes or flow characteristics of batch ingredients do not impair mixing, according to the company. The mixer can be piped to an in-plant chiller to prevent heat-sensitive bulk products from agglomerating, clumping, degrading, smearing and/or sticking to contact surfaces of mixing and packaging machinery or to the final consumer packaging. It can also be connected to an inplant steam, hot water or hot oil system to maintain elevated material temperatures during processing. Models range in capacity from 10 to 600 ft3 and are equally effective at blending batches ranging from 5% to 100% of rated capacity, obviating the need for multiple mixers in some cases.
