Marion horizontal mixers work for food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and more

Horizonal mixers are a specialty of Marion.

Firing Industries Ltd. carries various horizontal mixers by Marion Process Solutions. The manufacturer custom-builds all of these mixers at its Marion, IA facility to comply with a broad variety of processing requirements. The wide portfolio includes ribbon mixers, paddle mixers, fluidizing paddle mixers, and other hybrid models for batch or continuous processes.

Available in stainless steel and carbon steel options, Marion’s horizontal mixers also come in configurations that meet international safety and sanitary standards.

Based on 80 years’ experience

Marion mixers offer groundbreaking value and long-term return on investment that result from more than 80 years’ experience in the field. Over the years, with the assistance of distributors like Firing Industries, the manufacturer has offered mixing solutions worldwide for thousands of applications in such sectors as food processing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and many others.

Customization is a key advantage of Marion mixers; it is crucial for precision mixes, long-term equipment reliability, and production expenses. The Marion team helps the customer determine the appropriate base configuration, customizing different components to meet the relevant needs for sanitation, material handling, and durability; this yields the optimum and most cost-efficient mixing technology. Among the sanitary design considerations:

• Smooth welded finishes. Smooth, crevice-free finished on internal and external components.
• Food-grade gaskets. Patented O-ring gaskets offer airtight seals that protect operators and work environments from dust pollution.
• Accessible, easy-clean design. Easy-access doors and internal mechanisms for sanitation crews. Cleaning and inspection require little training and labour.
• Removable components. Gaskets, grates, outflow valves, choppers, load cells, and more can be removed easily for better cleaning.
• 3-A authorization. Marion is currently the sole 3-A-authorized producer of horizontal mixers for sanitary operations.

Since agitators vary in their abilities to handle different material sizes, shapes, densities, and viscosities, Marion offers different mixing technologies for various material-handling requirements. The examples include paddle agitators (for gentle blending motion), ribbon agitators (for shear or scrubbing action), hybrid agitators (for a mix of tumbing and rolling action), fluidizing paddle agitators (for dual-directional mixing), and choppers for agglomerating materials.
