Akona mixer offers gentle, repeatable blending
Rotary Batch Mixer Featuring internal mixing flights, this new Akona mixer uses a gentle, gravity-driven tumbling action to mix dry powders, granules, pellets and fragile or friable materials, including plastics. Optional features include load cells for batch weight verification, dust-tight inlet and discharge valves, and PLC-ready controls for integration into automated production lines. It is available in multiple capacities and can be configured for specific process requirements.
What’s new? The mixer, which Akona announced in April.
Benefits Fast, gentle and uniform blending, resulting in consistent blends with complete discharge and minimal residue between batches. With no internal shafts or submerged seals, the Rotary Batch Mixer produces little shear, is easy to clean and maintain, and is appropriate for applications that require hygienic conditions.
