Principle of Operation
The Conical Paddle Mixer consists of a conical shaped mixing vessel, equipped with a central paddle rotor. When it rotates, the rotor creates a combination of vertical and axial motion in the vessel.
The paddles guide the product gently to the surface of the batch, where it is dispersed and the gravitational pull at the centre of the mixer forces the product back down to create continuous motion throughout the mixing cycle, even at low speed.
The mixing process can be optimized by controlling the mixing energy, which can be achieved by adjusting the rotation speed. The typical rotor speed of the conical paddle mixer is between 1 and 10 m/s.
The Conical Paddle Mixer ensures minimum product distortion, optimal temperature control and energy efficiency, and fast and full discharge. Furthermore, it has been specially designed to avoid drive parts or zones where product holdup can occur. This maximizes the yield, optimizes the hygienic design and improves cleanability. These design features make the CPM highly suitable for a variety of applications in food processing, such as the mixing of fragile powders and 'instant' agglomerates and mixing of powders with liquids.
