The Truncone Mixer is a Vertical Ribbon Blender especially designed for mixing of free flowing and / or cohesive powders. The Truncone mixer is a convective mixer which creates low to medium shear forces during the process.


Working Principle

The convective mixing effect is created by the following 3 factors:

  • The outer ribbon conveys the material upwards along the vessel wall.
  • The continuous movement of the rotor causes a continuous exchange of particles.
  • In the center of the mixing chamber, the product is forced to the bottom section by the inner ribbon.


Industrial use

Truncone mixer can be used for mixing of:

  • Powders with powders
  • Powders with liquids
