A twin paddle mixer is widely used in food, feed, chemical, nutraceutical, and powder process industries. Designed with two counter-rotating paddle shafts, it delivers fast, uniform, and gentle mixing performance—making it one of the most efficient solutions for powder blending applications.

1. Fast and Efficient Mixing Performance

The twin paddle design creates a fluidised mixing zone, lifting materials into suspension for rapid blending. This reduces cycle time and increases overall production output.

2. Highly Uniform and Consistent Blending

Even when processing powders with different sizes, densities, or flow behaviours, twin paddle mixers provide excellent homogeneity—helping manufacturers maintain formulation accuracy and stable product quality.

3. Gentle Handling of Delicate Powders

Twin paddle mixers operate with smooth sweeping movement instead of high-shear impact. This protects sensitive particles from degradation, reduces fines, and preserves ingredient integrity—ideal for food seasoning, instant drink powders, health supplements, flavour blends, and specialty chemicals.

4. Hygienic Construction and Easy Cleaning

The design can be optimised for sanitary operation with accessible interior surfaces, minimal residue traps, and easy-to-open inspection panels. When engineered using EHEDG hygienic principles, twin paddle mixers support compliance for food and pharmaceutical environments.

5. Dry + Liquid Mixing Capability

Optional spray bars or liquid addition systems can be integrated for coating, flavour application, colouring, or moistening powders—allowing one mixer to handle both dry and wet formulations.

6. Energy-Efficient Operation

The fluidised mixing action ensures fast results with relatively low power consumption, offering long-term operating cost savings versus high-energy agitator systems.

7. Low Maintenance and Minimum Downtime

Twin paddle mixers are mechanically simple and easy to service, with clean-in-place design options available. Faster cleaning turnaround means less downtime between product batches.

8. Suitable for Batch or Integrated System Use

Whether installed as a standalone batch mixer or incorporated into IBC process lines and automated plants, twin paddle mixers provide scalable and flexible processing capability.
