Bulk material mixer for high-speed homogenization
Achieve fast and gentle homogenization of bulk materials with a high-speed mechanical mixer designed for minimizing particle damage and preventing product heating, optimizing your batch processes with precision and ease.
Mixes, Separates, and Weighs Bulk Materials
The MIX-A-LOT Bulk Material Mixer from Coperion excels in streamlining complex production processes by combining mixing, weighing, and separation into one efficient system. This mechanical mixer is designed to handle a diverse range of materials, from polypropylene pellets and ABS plastic resin to protein powder and calcium carbonate. It operates on a principle of low circumferential velocities paired with an optimized rotor and housing gap, ensuring gentle handling of materials without compromising their integrity. With a throughput capacity of up to 5 tons per hour and options for ATEX compliance, it is ideal for the plastics, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
The MIX-A-LOT seamlessly integrates with upstream conveyors and loss-in-weight feeders, optimizing production lines for both manual batch and high-speed operations. Its design boasts easy access for cleaning and maintenance, featuring a large inspection door and an electro-polished mixing chamber for contamination-free transitions. Engineered for durability, the MIX-A-LOT supports customization to match specific production requirements, and its intelligent control system ensures precise dosing and weighing accuracy.
