AJAX continuous mixers with paddle or ribbon screws, twin or single, mixing elements for blending, mixing and conditioning dry solids or solids and liquid combinations.

AJAX Paddle and Ribbon Continuous Mixers

AJAX continuous mixers produce a high quality mix because of the efficient multiple and progressive actions of paddles or ribbons. Homogeneity is quickly achieved and the reduced work input means low energy requirements. Particle attrition and damage to sensitive products are also minimised. Product transfer is concurrent with the mixing process so segregation and quality issues associated with intermediate storage and separate, sequential operations can be avoided. Reduced handling and mix quality are built in, so the rejection of large quantities and inconsistencies that can arise from batch manufacture are prevented. Easy cleaning with the ability to both clean-in-place and quickly change over the mixing augers means that downtime is reduced and cross contamination avoided. AJAX ribbon and paddle flights gently mix and positively combine solids and liquids that differ in flow properties, size, density, or other tendency that might provoke segregation to deliver the correctly proportioned ingredient mix.

Features Include:

• Blending and medium shear mixing of wet or dry multiple ingredients.
• Efficient mixing with gentle handling of delicate ingredients.
• Single and twin screw versions in a wide range of capacities.
• LynFlow Ribbons or Paddles for sticky and difficult to mix ingredients.
• Temperature controlled augers and casings.
• Hygienic design to BS EN 1672-2 and EHEDG.
• Quick release mixing elements for product change over and cleaning.
• Straight forward to operate and maintain.
• Easy and safe access with removable or hinged covers

Many model sizes are available with a wide range of throughputs. A compact footprint and design flexibility makes for an easy fit into plant processes.

Please note that actual continuous mixer throughputs are highly material(s) dependent and may vary significantly depending on the nature of the end product as well as the characteristics of the products being mixed. AJAX have a number of pilot machine mixers that can be used to asses size requirement as well as optimising other features such as ribbon or paddle design. These machines can be utilised at AJAX or loaned out to site for process evaluation and product optimisation.
