Best dry powder mixer for your application

1. The Best Mixer is...

There is quite a large variety of technology and design for bulk solids / powder mixing. Thus defining a BEST type of mixer can only be done relatively to the application. One mixer design can be perfectly adapted to a given situation but will not perform well in another application in terms of mixing time and / or homogeneity achieved.

This page is a selection guide for powder mixers aiming at helping the reader define the best design for his particular application. It reviews different mixing purposes commonly found in industry according to the throughput required, the type of mixing to perform, the kind and proportion of ingredients to mix...etc...

2. Choice criteria

How to chose well your powder dry mixing equipment ?

2.1 Capacity

2.1.1 Small scale operations

Not all industries are huge ! It is sometimes necessary to have a rather manual but yet very flexible process in order to perform some contract manufacturing, produce personalized batches or even to produce a preblend within the factory  that will then be used by a bigger line.

For this type of process, mixers such as...

2.1.2 Large scale operations

... are usually a good choice. Their size is flexible, they can stand-alone inside a production area and provide reasonably good mixing performance for free flowing powders . For the simpler design, the absence of agitator makes their cleaning easy and will therefore facilitate changeovers which are usually very frequent in small, flexible manufacturing lines.

For high capacity lines, the mixer has to be integrated inside a fully automated system allowing to reduce the batching time or even consider a continuous mixing process. The mixing time must be short to ensure a high capacity, therefore such mixers cannot rely only on diffusive mechanisms like drum or bin blenders, but must have agitation tools to provide convective and, to different levels, shear mixing.

For this type of process, consider mixers such as...

Speed
Though three speeds are generally adequate for a blender, you&#;ll see that blenders can have as few as two or as many as 17 speeds. With a dozen or more, it can start to get difficult to distinguish one speed from the next. A pulse setting, which eliminates the lag time between when you push the button and when the blender starts or stops, allows for more precision when blending delicate ingredients. Some high-performance blenders also come with convenient programmed settings&#;say, for smoothies, whole-fruit juice, and hot soup.

Power
You&#;ll see anywhere from 300 to 1,000 watts, or even greater, as more manufacturers make the claim that higher wattage equates to better performance. But we&#;ve found that this is not necessarily the case because the design of the blade assembly and the shape of the container are also factors. (The exception is immersion blenders, where higher wattage does tend to deliver more consistent results.)

Warranty
As with any product, a blender&#;s warranty can be an indication of how long the manufacturer expects it to last. Some high-performance blenders have seven- or eight-year warranties, and budget blenders might be covered for only a year.

Ease of storage
Some blenders are easier to store than others, which could be a real concern if you have a small kitchen. With their super-compact design, immersion blenders tuck easily into a drawer&#;though, again, they can&#;t take the place of a countertop blender. Personal blenders are also fairly compact.

If you&#;re going for a full-sized unit and plan to keep it on the countertop, a model that is less than 17 inches tall should save space by fitting under the kitchen cabinetry when not in use. The height between countertops and the bottom of cabinets is typically 20 to 22 inches, so you want to have enough space to take the top off a blender or insert and remove the jar (though it&#;s a good idea to take a measurement because some cabinets are lower).

Pay attention to the number of attachments and accessories that come with the blender. Some hybrid models feature multiple mixing containers, which might improve their versatility but will also take up storage space in your cabinets.
