Fluidizing paddle mixer by Marion: perfect for faster, gentler blending

The Marion Momentum Series horizontal fluidizing paddle mixer

Marion Process Solutions equipment is available in Canada through Firing Industries Ltd. A perfect mixing solution from the manufacturer is the Momentum Series horizontal fluidizing paddle mixer, designed to offer quicker, fluidized mixing and sophisticated dual-directional movement that carefully processes bakery blends, nutraceuticals, detergent powder, and other common materials.

With combined inward and outward movements that cut mixing times by 50 per cent, this unique mixer by Marion achieves better blending with its namesake paddle.

Reduction of power costs

The Momentum Series fluidizing paddle mixer provides fast, gentle mixing while reducing power costs on a per-tonnage basis, particularly for food, plastics, chemicals, and feeds. Its conical shape speeds up and simplifies material discharge while lowering the potential of buildup near the valve and providing thorough drainage for cleaning liquids. This makes sanitation faster and easier while eliminating the need for air-pressure cleaners.

The large paddle sizes and inward-plus-outward mixing movements beget a fluidized mix that slings materials gently, which prevents material damage. The trough and paddle use food-grade grit finishes and welded joints that distinguish the mixer from competing machines that have bolted paddles with visible joints. Other notable advantages of this fluidizing paddle mixer from Firing Industries:

• consistent mix quality
• gentle movement, ideal for delicate material
• better drainage and discharge than those of U- and J-shaped drums
• lower power consumption per mixed quantity
• replaceable O-ring gaskets and lip seals, for reduced maintenance expenses and pristine mixing room
• fully customizable design, as with all Marion solutions, to meet unique processing needs while meeting industry sanitation and safety standards

The Marion team also offers such options as load cells and liquid manifolds, which automate and improve consistency and throughput. There are also food- and pharmaceutical-grade finishes and customizations available, to comply with application- or industry-specific requirements. Thirteen models of this mixer are available from Marion.
