The twin shaft paddle mixers produced by GIMAT in discontinuous (Batch) version are based on the principle of mechanical fluidization given to the product to be mixed by the special design of the mixer paddles. Inside the mixing chamber, they create a movement that is both axial-rotary and radial.
They are used in rapid mixing processes (1-2 min) but are also very gentle.
They are ideal for temperature-sensitive powdered and granular products such as fats. Liquid mists can also be added and agitators / choppers can be provided to break up lumps and prevent powders from packing. Considering the reduced play between the two paddle rotors and the blender body, they can mix fragile products like combinations of puffed cereals and other grains, nuts, etc.
The discontinuous (batch) version of twin shaft paddle mixers is produced in usable volume versions of 200 to 500 lt.
