Selection of a mixer for mixing powders and liquids

PerMix has been manufacturing mixing and blending equipment since 1954 for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, food, and chemical industry. Did you know PerMix is actually one of the largest manufactures of blenders & mixers for any application? The chances are your answer was no. The reason for this is because our main base for business has been building sustainable brands for others under our OEM contracts we currently have with some of the largest brands known in the industry. What makes us so successful is our focus on sustainability through superior engineering. Our units are purposely over engineered to deliver superior performance, not just now for the current application, but for future applications. We know that being flexible and adaptable is key in creating a sustainable business as is superior customer service, support, and technology. This has made us a leader in the industry. Types of mixers / blenders we manufacture: * Ribbon Mixers * Sigma Mixer * Plow Mixers * Paddle Mixers * Fluidized Bed Mixers * V Blenders * Planetary Mixers * Homogenizers * Shear Mixers / Shear Pumps * High Speed Granulators * Bottom & Top Entry Mixers * Vacuum Mixers & Deaerators * Pressure & Vacuum Vessels with over 12 different types of agitation & much more...

Tumbler Mixer are very popular for the intimate blending of free-flowing dry powders, granules, and crystals.

Fluidized zone mixers are a type of industrial mixer that are commonly used for mixing wet and dry materials.

Two popular options are ribbon mixers and single shaft fluidized zone mixers. In this article, we will compare the two and determine which is more efficient for mixing materials. Efficiency of ribbon mixers compared to fluidized zone mixers Two popular options are ribbon mixers and single shaft fluidized zone mixers. In this article, we will compare the two and determine which is more efficient for mixing materials. Ribbon Mixer Ribbon mixers are a type of industrial mixer that are commonly used for mixing dry powders and granules. They feature a long, horizontal trough with a central shaft that has two or more helical ribbons, or agitators, mounted on it. The ribbons rotate at different speeds, which causes the materials in the trough to be pulled in different directions. This results in a thorough mixing of the materials in the mixer. Single Shaft Fluidized Zone Mixer Single shaft fluidized zone mixers are a type of industrial mixer that are commonly used for mixing wet and dry materials. They feature a long, horizontal trough with a central shaft that has an agitator that has paddles mounted on it. The difference is that in a ribbon…

Eliminate products loss & residue in horizontal mixers by switching from center bottom discharge valves to bomb bay door type discharge valves. Since 1954 PerMix has been leading the industry with our engineering, innovation, performance & quality. When we talk about product loss and residue, this is an issue everyone faces that is using a horizontal mixer. To minimize this PerMix already created a discharge valve that is offset at a 15* angle, which is as the center slope of the powder. This gives PerMix an advantage over others as we are the ONLY manufacturer offering this offset. The reason for this offset is because in a mixer, with the rotation of the agitation, the powders create a slope inside the mixer, if you were to stop the agitation you would see this. Where everyone else puts the valve in the center of the mixer, we put it in the center of the slope of the powder. The other thing PerMix does to eliminate this product loss & residue even more is to offer a bomb bay type door on ALL horizontal mixers. The bomb bay type door extend the length of the bottom of the mixer and eliminate product…

Ribbon mixers that are designed to allow bulk ingredient feeding tubes to remain connected while allowing the ribbon mixer to be opened. Come see the PerMix difference Since 1954 PerMix has been leading the industry with our mixing solutions of all types, in all industries. Our ability to combine engineering, innovation, performance, & quality while maintaining an affordable price is key to our success. Here is a perfect example of our engineering & innovation. Recently a customer needed a solution for a very complex mixing problem. The mixing process created a need for a mixer that could handle the low temperatures of dry ice, while at the same time needed to load ingredients automatically in a low overhead area. For this we created a cover that slid off the mixer instead of being hinged. This also allowed for the flex tubing of the ingredient feeders to remain attached. The mixer also featured PerMix’s ”Stub-Shaft Design” which is a total hygienic design. Come see the PerMix difference
