Types of PerMix mixers for the food industry
1. Ribbon mixers (horizontal and vertical)
• Best for: dry powders, spices, protein mixes, baking mixes and instant foods.
• Working Principle: Ribbon mixers utilize a helical ribbon agitator to achieve a gentle but thorough mixing action that distributes ingredients evenly without damaging delicate ingredients.
• Industries Served: Snacks, Bakery, Spice Mixes, Dietary Supplements, Protein Powders.
2. Paddle mixers and plough mixers
• Best for: mixing powders, granular products, hydrated mixtures and bulk ingredients.
• Operating Principle: Paddle and plow mixers create a fluid mixing zone by lifting and folding materials for rapid, uniform mixing.
• Industries served: Spices, dry soup mixes, flour mixes, vegetable proteins, confectionery coatings.
3. Vacuum mixers and vacuum dryers
• Best for: Mixing, drying and processing heat-sensitive food products in a vacuum.
• Working Principle: Vacuum mixing by removing oxygen preserves freshness, extends shelf life and enables low temperature drying of heat-sensitive ingredients. • Industries served: Milk powders, instant coffee, infant formula, functional foods and nutraceuticals.
4. High Shear Mixers and Emulsifiers
• Best for: Liquid based foods, sauces, dressings, emulsions and beverage processing.
• How they work: High shear mixers use rotor-stator technology to create ultra-fine emulsions and stable, homogeneous dispersions.
• Industries served: Mayonnaise, ketchup, dairy processing, protein drinks, syrups and plant milks.
5. Sigma mixers and kneaders
• Best for: Highly viscous doughs, pastes and thick food products.
• How they work: Sigma mixers use dual counter-rotating blades to knead, fold and shear high-viscosity materials.
• Industries Served: Confectionery, Nut Butters, Protein Bars, Processed Cheese and Chocolate Manufacturing.
6. 3D Mixers and V Blenders
• Best for: Precise mixing of delicate or segregating powders.
• How they work: These mixers provide multi-dimensional movement to ensure highly uniform, dust-free mixes.
• Industries served: instant food powders, nutraceuticals, pharmaceutical grade food mixes.
7. Conical screw mixers (Nauta mixers)
• Best for: Gently mixing delicate or segregating ingredients.
• How they work: A slow-moving conical screw mixer lifts ingredients upward while gravity ensures uniform mixing.
• Industries served: milk powders, infant formula, spice mixes and plant-based protein powders.
8. Cook & Chill Mixers (Tilting Ribbon Mixers and Vacuum Mixers)
• Best for: Batch cooking, making sauces, and preserving food. • How they work: These blenders combine heating, cooling, and vacuum functions for efficient cooking and rapid cooling, preventing bacterial growth and improving food safety.
• Industries served: Ready-to-eat meals, baby food, soups, sauces, gravies and fillings.
