Powder mixing in the food industry

Equipment for powder mixing foodstuffs

In the food industry, the right powder mixing technology can help you homogenize bulk materials, improve product quality and coat particles. Through the dispersion of liquids, such as oils or additives, you can alter functional properties & flavors of your powder.

Industrial powder mixers are available in a wide variety, batch or continuous, with different batch sizes or different output parameters. Hygienic design is critical for food applications. Make sure to pay attention to factors such as ease of cleaning & cross contamination!

Mixing a variety of powders

The variety of powders we use in our food is endless and your mixer will look entirely different depending on the characteristics of the powder you want to mix.

Whether you want to mix ingredients that add flavor, stability or color to food, we can help you with specialized powder mixing solutions. Examples include seasonings, gelatin, salt, sugar or sugar substitutes. But we also have experience with carrageen, ascorbic acid, cellulose powder, fiber, calcium phosphate, fumaric acid, malic acid, pectin, pigments, sodium acid pyrophosphate or tri-calcium citrate.

Selecting the right hygienic powder mixer

What do you want to do with the mixture? How evenly distributed should the particles be in the mixture and how much mixing & handling time you can allow. You will also have thought about how it needs to fit into your factory and the rest of how it should interact with rest of your production processes. We have experience with a wide range of innovative mixing equipment and technologies for powders, pastes & slurries. We would be happy to help you find the right mixing technology for your production plant.
