Paddle Agitators lift, tumble, divide and circulate materials in an intense yet gentle mixing action, which provides relatively fast mix times.
This permits more batches to be mixed per shift, reduces product damage due to heat or degradation and minimizes wear and tear on the machine. Close paddle blade to trough clearance provides nearly complete discharge of product.
Full batches with additives as low as 1% may be uniformly mixed. Quantities as small as 20% of capacity may be blended with the same accuracy as a full batch. Mixing of dry, free-flowing materials typically takes 3 to 5 minutes.
Of course actual mixing times will depend on the ingredient characteristics, proportions and amounts
