Twin Shaft Paddle Mixer
The twin-shaft paddle mixer is the industry standard for achieving homogeneous mixing of two or more powders in minimal cycle times. It operates on the principle of fluidisation, where two counter-rotating shafts with welded paddles lift the material into "weightless whirls." This action allows particles to move freely and intermix rapidly. The combination of convectional transport along the mixer and the continuous lift-and-fall motion ensures fast diffusion over a very short time, guaranteeing the highest level of homogeneity.
