Fluidized Zone Mixers - Fast, Gentle & Cost Efficient
OptimaΙΙBlend™ Fluidized Zone Mixers are capable of preparing a homogenous mix independent of particle size, shape or density. The unique agitation of the OptimaΙΙBlend™ Fluidized Zone Mixer, ensures rapid yet gentle blending, short cycles, low operating costs, minimal product degradation and one of the highest production capacities of any mixer type.
Fluidized Zone Mixers
The mixers consist of twin shaft, overlapping paddle assemblies which are counter rotating at comparatively low rotor speeds drawing material from each rotor drum and lifting the ingredients up and between the rotors. This creates a fluidized zone where particles can freely transpose, thereby eliminating segregation.
Micro-minors of 1 ppm are mixed regardless of where they are added into the mixer. Shear is very low or non-existent and therefore no heat is generated. As a result extremely fragile ingredients such as flakes or whole coffee beans can be blended with minimal degradation.
Put It To The Test
Claims such as 10 to 30 second mixing cycles are almost unheard of and contradict most historical mixing experiences. You may not be able to believe such claims without seeing them for yourself.
We invite you to take advantage of our Customer Participation Test Program. Call us to schedule a test at our in-house test facility to learn and observe firsthand the many benefits of the Fluidized Zone Mixer. Or rent a unit for testing at your plant.
