Choosing the Correct Mixer

Choosing the Correct Mixer

You will almost probably need to combine a range of liquid with liquid components when producing goods for the chemical, bakery, nutrition, or food industries. In most applications, the most important step for raising the product's value is blending. When working with a wide range of ingredients, some of them could provide an allergic risk. You must consider both the ingredients and the purposes of the mixture. However, it's also crucial that you consider how simple it is to transfer and replace the mixer. When looking to buy industrial mixers for your company, all of these factors should be taken into account.

The most important decision is whether to manufacture continuously or in batches. If you need to create the same product every day or switch recipes frequently, some blender types will be more suited to your application. We provide a wide range of mixer options with different tools so you can customize the blender to suit your needs.

 

Why Opt for an Even Mix

The Even Mix Mixer is ideal because it is adaptable and lightweight, making it simple to transfer. The most frequent problem is determining what is best and supplying the necessary power. This could be pneumatic or electronic. It is up to the user to choose the sort of mixer that is ideal for their application while utilizing a mixer. Even Mix is the best option for people searching for an even mix and is excellent for batch and continuous applications. Additionally, our unique mixers are designed to help with industrial mixing in a range of container types.

Another important factor is the kind of container. For instance, your ingredients could be combined in a 55-gallon drum. These drums are incredibly accessible and simple to use. Although some mixers have trouble providing a nice, even mix inside the container, they are nonetheless portable and readily stored. However, you need not be concerned thanks to our revolutionary blade design.

Although mixing materials in a drum is a common practice, there are many access options that need be taken into account. Some drum tops can be completely removed, leaving a large workable space, while others only have a 2" hole. We don't have the same difficulties as other mixer manufacturers in providing various mixer types for various types of drums. In order to assist our customers in finding a mixer that will precisely match their requirements, Even Mix offers a large number of accessories and mounting choices.

Do you have to mix several products?

Let's say you only need to produce one recipe in a large quantity with no ongoing revisions. When such happens, you should run a fixed mixer that is connected to both the upstream and downstream processes. However, changes must be made quickly and effectively as more companies realize that customers want a choice of recipes. Batch processing is the best method to utilize if you frequently need to alter recipes and use new ingredients. Even Mix mixers are ideal for your applications in both scenarios.

The Size of the Manufacturing Batch

A fixed mixer could be adequate up until variable batch sizes are required if your clients consistently request the same order sizes. You may blend a range of batch sizes in one blender since an Even Mix Mixer does the blending in the Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC). This minimizes delay while allowing you to choose the proper container size.

IBC-sized blending

A 32" shaft is required for mixing within an IBC and will function without any problems with a 330 or 275-gallon IBC. Since "even mix" is in our name, our mixers are made to mix within IBCs and provide an excellent even mix each and every time.

You can complete this task using a single set of blades if the viscosity is less than 4000 centipoises. You will require two sets of blades if your mixture has a higher viscosity, though. In order for these blades to work together to circulate inside the container and give you a uniform mix, they must be placed 13–15 inches apart. If you wish to add different additives while mixing or simply observe the mixing process taking place inside the container, you might choose an IBC bridge. We also provide a clamp that will secure the mixer to the side of the container to expand your mixer possibilities. This will enable the mixer to mix at an angle between 15 and 35 degrees.

Combined in Big Containers

You might want to take into account one of the larger alternatives with a longer shaft for larger containers that are IBC up to 10,000 gallons. For this kind of scenario, we provide a 72-inch shaft that operates three blades simultaneously and gives you an even mix directly within your container. This arrangement will allow this method to operate with 2000 centipoise or less of materials.

As you can see, there are several of alternatives for using an Even Mixer that are compatible with the containers you already own. We can create a mixer using our countless accessory options that will be functional for your particular circumstance. We even provide bendable blades so they can easily fit in those 2" holes.
