Mixing of Bulk Materials

Mixing solids, powders, and granules is an elementary basic process in a wide variety of industries. Modern recipes often contain a large number of individual components, some of which must be precisely blended in tiny quantities. The ultimate goal of every mixing process is an absolutely homogeneous particle distribution of all components. 

The achievable mixing accuracy generally depends heavily on the physical properties of the different raw materials, with varying bulk densities and particle sizes determining the process engineering requirements. Depending on the production process, these mixtures are realized either in the flexible batch process or in continuous operation using vertical or horizontal machines. MAIER has been successfully producing highly innovative mixing machines for over 70 years. A historically outstanding product that significantly shaped our expertise was the twin-shaft mixer for the animal feed industry. Over the decades, we have consistently developed and optimized our mixers. Today, we are technologically outstandingly positioned on the market, especially with our highly advanced vertical mixers. The reliability and precision of these systems have long proven themselves: MAIER mixers are already successfully used worldwide in the demanding food sector and related industries.
