Double shaft powder batch mixer
Achieve high homogeneity and gentle handling with a double shaft mixer designed for efficient powder and liquid dispersion, ensuring sensitive recipes are preserved while meeting stringent hygiene standards.
Mixes and Homogenizes Powders and Liquids
The GMS Multiflux Batch Mixer from Gericke is a double shaft mixer designed for optimal powder and liquid homogenization across various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Utilizing counter-rotating mixing tools, it forms a fluidized zone that ensures maximal radial and axial transfer rates for superior mix quality. This mixer is ideal for applications requiring gentle handling, such as infant formula, powdered drink mixes, and chemical coatings. Available in sizes with useable volumes ranging from 100 to 4000 liters, the GMS mixer can perform up to 16 mixing cycles per hour. Featuring a cantilevered design with a large front door, it offers easy access for inspection and rapid cleaning, meeting stringent EHEDG and GMP hygiene standards. Optional high-speed dispersion tools further enhance its capability, making it suitable for dispersing viscous liquids and deagglomerating lumps.
