Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is the main difference between a paddle blender and a ribbon blender?

The main difference is in the stirring element. The Ribbon Blender uses helical ribbons that move powder in opposite directions with light friction, while the Paddle Blender uses paddles that lift and fold the material, resulting in smoother, faster mixing for fragile items.

When should I choose a Ribbon Blender?

You should choose Mixturadores Ribbon Blender when you need to mix dry, fine and cohesive powders. It is the ideal choice for the food and pharmaceutical industry in the preparation of flours, supplements and seasonings, ensuring high homogeneity.

In which situations is Paddle Blender best suited?

The Paddle Blender is recommended for friable materials, sensitive granules or mixtures with large differences in density and particle size. Its mixing paddles prevent product degradation, making it excellent for cereals, nuts and mineral mixtures.

What is the best powder mixer in terms of speed?

The paddle blender (Paddle Blender) generally has a faster mixing cycle. Due to its mechanical fluidization action, it can achieve ideal homogeneity in less time compared to the tape system, depending on the material.

Can I add liquids when mixing powders?

Yes, both devices allow the addition of liquids. Agimix can integrate spray nozzles into the design of your industrial mixer, allowing the controlled spraying of oils, essences or binders directly onto the moving dough.

What manufacturing materials are available for these mixers?

We manufacture our mixers in AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel. This choice of material guarantees total resistance to corrosion and meets the strict hygiene standards required by the chemical and cosmetic industries.

What is the maximum production capacity of this equipment?

Our mixers are custom-made, with capacities ranging from 50 to 15,000 liters. We size the useful volume of the mixing tank exactly according to the demand of your production batch.

Does Agimix manufacture both mixer models?

Yes, Agimix is ​​the direct manufacturer of both models. With our experience in agitation and mixing solutions, we evaluate your production process to recommend and build tailor-made equipment that will bring the best performance to your factory.
