Industrial mixers are essential for processing powders, pastes, and liquids in industries such as chemicals, plastics, paints, food, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals. However, selecting the right mixer for an application can be difficult. There are different types of mixers such as fluidized zone, plow, paddle, ribbon, or sigma. Variations in quality between domestically sourced and overseas options can also be a concern.
Regardless of the industry or type of mixer, quality and performance are crucial to attain the required product specifications while meeting inevitable changes in customer demand. In addition, with the current cost of labor and energy so high, it is vital to optimize efficiencies wherever possible for long-term profitability.
