PerMix Vertical Paddle Mixer
Precision Vertical Mixing Solutions for Powder Blending Excellence
The PerMix PAM Series Vertical Mixer represents a breakthrough in vertical mixing technology—delivering exceptional mixing uniformity, a sanitary design ideal for hygienic applications, complete discharge with minimal residue, flexible loading capacities, and a rugged construction built for long-term performance.
Introduction
PerMix PAM Vertical Paddle Mixers, part of our advanced powder mixer lineup, are highly efficient and flexible batch mixers designed for blending free-flowing powders, granules, and pellets. These vertical mixers are widely adopted in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, enzyme, and fine chemical industries for their reliable performance and gentle mixing action.
Engineered to minimize both mechanical and thermal stress, PerMix Vertical Paddle Mixers are ideal for processing fragile or heat-sensitive materials, ensuring product integrity while delivering uniform, high-quality blends.
How it works
PerMix PAM Vertical Mixers offer efficient, space-saving solutions for uniform blending of powders, granules, and heat-sensitive materials. Designed with a single central ribbon, the mixer moves material upward along the vessel wall and downward through the center, creating a continuous counterflow for fast, homogeneous mixing.
The unique ribbon design generates varying particle speeds, resulting in a turbulent flow that enhances both heat and mass transfer. For tougher tasks, an optional high-speed chopper ensures intensive mixing and breaks up clumps, especially useful when adding liquids to powders.
Typically built with a cylindrical body and conical bottom, PAM mixers also come in flat-bottom versions with scrapers. A flush-fitting access door allows easy cleaning and inspection, while a bottom plug valve ensures efficient discharge with minimal residue.
