Industrial mixer for food and pet food production

Achieve precise and efficient mixing of viscous to highly viscous products, facilitating seamless integration into your production line to enhance product quality and reduce production times.

Mixes and Massages Viscous Products Efficiently

The Handtmann Inotec IM mixer is engineered for food and pet food manufacturers seeking precise mixing capabilities across diverse applications. This equipment uses dual-shaft technology to ensure fast, homogeneous mixing of viscous to highly viscous substances. Ideal for applications ranging from sausage and dairy to confectionery and vegan products, the IM mixer offers volume options from 50 to 6,000 liters, making it suitable for both small-scale and industrial producers. Integrating seamlessly into existing production lines or functioning independently, it features flexible shaft configurations—whether paddle, spiral, or screw—to accommodate different product types. Real-time process control allows for customized mixing intensity, enhancing energy efficiency and ensuring product consistency. With options for heating, cooling, and ingredient addition during operation, the IM mixer supports varied processing needs. Its hygienic design and user-friendly interface simplify cleaning and maintenance, while customizable process parameters ensure optimal product texture and quality.
