Conical screw mixer for pharmaceutical and chemical industries

Optimize mixing precision and efficiency with a conical screw mixer designed to handle diverse particle characteristics and prevent segregation, ensuring consistent product quality for your batch or continuous operations.

Mixes and Blends Diverse Solids and Powders

The Conical Screw Mixer Series SF 010 – SF 3000 from BOLZ-SUMMIX features a rotating mixing screw guided along a conical vessel by an orbital arm, ensuring efficient, gentle mixing and preventing segregation in diverse industrial powders and granules. Ideal for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food products, this mixer accommodates batch or continuous operations with a flexibility range of 10% to 100% loading capacity.

Constructed with corrosion-resistant stainless steels like AISI 316L and Hastelloy C22, it operates at temperatures up to 240°C and pressures from -1 to +6 bar, aligning with GMP, FDA, and ATEX standards. The machine’s PLC-controlled system integrates seamlessly into production lines, offering diverse customization options, including rotary shaft seals and CIP/SIP systems for efficient cleaning. With accurate mixing for high-purity end products and reduced energy consumption through optimized drive power, this solution delivers reliable performance across various industries and operations.
