Description Cone mixer
A cone mixer, also known as a Nauta mixer, is ideally suited for batch processes with powders and granulates. The machine uses a rotating screw that moves along the conical wall while simultaneously rotating around its own axis. This creates a combination of upward flow and gentle mixing with low shear forces. This results in a homogeneous end product without damaging sensitive particles.
Working in batches provides control over mixing time and composition. In addition, complete discharge is possible, which minimizes product loss and simplifies cleaning. As a result, the cone mixer is widely used in the food industry and chemicals.
Moistening during mixing with spray nozzles under the lid of the mixer is widely applied.
Application Cone Mixer
The cone mixer is developed for the careful mixing of fragile, fine and poorly flowing products. Due to the low rotational speed and the gentle three-dimensional mixing movement, the product structure remains intact and segregation is prevented.
This mixer is used worldwide in various sectors, such as the food industry, the chemical industry, mineral processing and the recycling sector. It also offers reliable and consistent operation within circular production processes.
Benefits of the Cone Mixer
- Very homogeneous mixing with low COV (“Coefficient of Variance”)
- Suitable for fragile and break-sensitive products
- Minimal segregation during and after mixing
- Low shear forces in the material, preserving product structure
- Good mixing of poorly flowing and cohesive powders
- Widely applicable for different bulk densities and particle sizes
- Energy efficient due to low rotational speed
- Complete discharge possible due to conical design
- Flexible for batch processes
- Easily scalable from small to large capacities
- Simple integration into existing installations
- Reliable and reproducible mixing results
- Suitable for hygienic applications and cleanability
- Possibility to add liquids during mixing
Versions and Options Cone Mixer
- Available in mixing capacities from 1,000 to 50,000 litres
- The design allows easy integration into existing production lines
- Possible materials:
– Steel with coating as required
– Stainless steel 304
– Stainless steel 316 - Large discharge opening for fast emptying
- Static vertical screw conveyor in the centre of the mixer. At different heights, the product flows into the screw spiral and is discharged at the top. The mixing time is longer, but the construction is much simpler
- Addition of liquids or powders during mixing
- CIP or WIP cleaning systems
- Heated or cooled execution
- ATEX analysis
- Level sensors
- Weighing system
- Connection or extraction system
- Independent filter mounted on the mixer
- Support structure
- Large discharge opening for fast emptying
- Integrated feed for liquids or additives
