What is a Propeller Mixer?
Typically three-blade in design but sometimes incorporating a fourth, a rotating propeller is mounted to your vessel off-centre and at a slight angle to improve mixing. This is most often used for mixing free dissolving powders into water.
The process creates a vortex – the operator adds the powder into the vortex, which then passes through the propeller. The vast majority of the mixing is achieved in the first pass through the propeller mixer. This is therefore an extremely time-efficient process, which is also ideal to prevent clumping from occurring.
Subsequently your mix recirculates around the mixing vessel vertically: the product travels down through the propeller, then up the side of the vessel, and then back down into the propeller again.
Common applications of Propeller Mixing are for manufacturing Vitamin mixes, Tablet coatings or Medicines, although these versatile solutions are also commonly found intermediate stages of food production too.
Propeller Mixers can also be used to mix oil into oil, and liquid into liquids, that aren’t at risk of separating out like oil and water would.
