Mixers are universally applicable units for introducing powders or liquid phases into a suitable flowable template. With their special pump mixing system, they produce a homogeneous mixture without clumping in a single work step. These systems can be both stationary and mobile.
We also offer simplified versions, such as the powder feeder, which generates negative pressure using a centrifugal pump, or the powder dissolver, which homogenizes the medium using a shear pump.
Our hygienic powder mixers use a pump mixing system for the efficient mixing of powder and liquid. The process begins with the supply of a base liquid. The powder is fed into the liquid flow from a funnel according to the injector principle. The first pump provides the vacuum for initial mixing and the feed pressure. The downstream shear pump with its rotor-stator combination ensures the final homogeneity. Thanks to high circumferential speeds and narrow shear gaps, the shear mixer generates intense turbulence, which ensures thorough mixing of even multiphase products.

DrinksFood industryPharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, cosmeticsProcessing with the powder mixer is significantly faster than with conventional tank mixing; the actual time saving depends on the formulation and system layout and is up to 90%. Direct wetting in the closed system minimizes product losses, while high shear homogenization ensures agglomerate-free mixing. A compact design, also mobile, enables flexible positioning in the production area. Depending on customer requirements, the systems are ATEX-approved or designed with FDA-compliant materials.
Powder mixers are hygienic and versatile. They are used in the food and beverage industry, in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries and in the cosmetics industry to mix powders, granules or any other sensitive raw material evenly or to disperse them into a liquid. The aim is to achieve a mixture with a high degree of homogeneity and minimal energy consumption, while the overall time required remains minimal. In the food industry, hygienic stainless steel mixers are used when the highest food safety requirements apply and a sensitive product needs to be mixed. In the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical mixers or laboratory mixers ensure reproducible batches and a pharmaceutically flawless end product.
Reliable operation and a short powder feeding time depend to a large extent on the correct design. Product properties such as the flowability of the powder and the density and viscosity of the carrier medium, together with process parameters and operating conditions, determine the design of the mixing system. The materials used and their surface quality must also be precisely adapted to the respective application. There is also a focus on food safety, necessary certificates or ATEX requirements. Structured recording of these parameters ensures that the solution is technically suitable, reliable and efficient in the long term.
When integrating a powder mixer, powder feeder or powder dissolver into an existing system, the focus is on smooth integration into the system. Existing pipelines, connection standards, space conditions and existing drive and control concepts are specifically taken into account in order to minimize adaptation costs and downtimes.
As part of retrofit projects, we replace your existing components or optimize your mixing process, for example to improve efficiency, operational reliability or ease of maintenance. A careful analysis of the current situation ensures that the new solution is technically compatible, existing processes continue to run stably and future requirements are taken into account.
We offer you professional design, commissioning and training for powder mixers as well as manufacturer-compliant maintenance. You can also obtain original spare parts, lubricants and accessories, including documented quality control, from our spare parts specialists. On request, we can supply certificates of conformity and material certificates as well as CE documentation. Clear service agreements, fast response times and traceable test reports, for example on surface quality, create predictability and security in your business.
Rototec supports you throughout the entire life cycle of your mixer, from consultation and design to commissioning and ongoing operation. The aim is a technically sound implementation that focuses on reliability, ease of maintenance and cost-effectiveness right from the start. We will find the optimum solution for your application.
A powder mixer is an inline mixing system that draws powders into a carrier liquid and mixes them homogeneously. The mixer normally circulates in a tank, but it can also be operated continuously.
The powder is ergonomically filled into a funnel at waist height. By means of negative pressure generated by a pump, the powder is drawn from the funnel into the carrier medium according to the injector principle.
Yes, with higher viscosity media, a positive displacement pump is used instead of a centrifugal pump to pump the carrier medium.
Yes, the powder mixer can be fully integrated into automated systems, e.g. with big bags or screw conveyors.
Cleaning is carried out via CIP (clean-in-place) or SIP (sterilization-in-place)
It is up to 98 % faster, enables 100-% utilization of the ingredients and reduces the personnel requirements to one person.
Yes, over 70 % of the systems are customized to optimally meet specific requirements.
