Paddle Continuous MixersEfficient and controlled mixing with adjustable paddles

How the paddle mixer works

The rotating shafts with mixing paddles move the product from bottom to top and then back down again, creating a continuous, turbulent powder flow. The angle of the adjustable paddles determines whether the mixing process focuses more on transport or intensive blending. Backwards mixing is also possible by reversing the paddles.

Application in continuous processes

In a continuous mixing system, the product moves through the mixer at a constant speed. The residence time and mixing intensity are determined by the rotation speed and paddle angle. This makes the mixer highly suitable for processes where mixing quality and throughput time are critical.

Versatile use and compact design

Paddle mixers are used in various sectors, from chemicals and food to bioethanol production. Thanks to their compact design, they require minimal installation space while still enabling high-capacity, constant flow. Each mixer is tailored to your process and application.

Advantages Why Choose a Klinkenberg Paddle Mixer?

Icon check

Adjustable paddle angle (optional)

The mixing paddles are adjustable, allowing you to select more mixing or more product transport — tailored to your process.

Icon check

Low friction without shear

The mixing action is efficient without abrading the product, preserving the structure of sensitive materials.

Icon check

Minimal heat generation

Since the system operates at low speeds, there is hardly any friction or heat — ideal for temperature-sensitive substances.

Adjustable residence time via paddle position

By setting the paddles sharper or blunter, you control the product’s residence time in the mixer — crucial for continuous mixing.

The paddle mixer is suitable for dry powders, granulates, flakes, and heat-sensitive products. Thanks to its flexibility, it can be adapted to specific materials and processes.

Mixing cycles vary from 10 seconds up to 1 minute, depending on the product type and desired mixing quality.

Absolutely. Its hygienic design and easy cleaning make it perfect for applications in the food industry.

The weightless zone is created by the counter-rotating shafts and specially designed paddles. This causes particles to temporarily float, resulting in uniform and rapid mixing regardless of particle size, density, or shape.

The large bottom hatch door or pneumatically operated discharge valves ensure fast and complete emptying of the mixer. This minimizes segregation risk, maintaining mixture homogeneity.

The paddle mixer can be equipped with spray balls or nozzles that evenly add liquids to the mix. Ideal for applications such as moistening, coating, or adding binders.

The twin shaft paddle mixer can achieve mixing ratios up to 1:8,000 with a high degree of consistency. This is essential for applications where accuracy is crucial, such as pharmaceutical and food industries.

Optionally, Pin Milling Bars (Overhead Chopper) can be installed. These fast-rotating bars increase shear forces and guarantee uniform particle size, even with sticky or clumped materials.

Capacity varies depending on the model and application, but standard capacities range from a few dozen liters up to thousands of liters per batch. Custom designs are available for larger volumes.

Although maintenance costs are low due to the robust construction, periodic inspections are recommended. Typical maintenance tasks include:

· Inspection and lubrication of bearings and seals.

· Checking the drive and chains.

· Replacement of wear parts such as paddles or mixing ribbons in abrasive applications.
