The Rotary Batch Mixer features a shaft-free internal geometry with no submerged seals or agitator components. This design reduces maintenance requirements and allows for faster, more effective cleaning between batches, supporting higher uptime and improved batch-to-batch repeatability.

“From an engineering standpoint, the Rotary Batch Mixer was designed to remove common sources of maintenance and variability found in traditional batch mixers,” says Matt Banowetz, VP engineering and product development at Akona Process Solutions. “By relying on controlled vessel rotation and internal mixing flights, we’re able to deliver consistent blending while reducing mechanical complexity, cleaning time and product loss.”

Suitable for processing dry powders, granules, pellets and fragile or friable materials, it is used across industries, including food and bakery, nutraceuticals, coffee, spice blends, agricultural products, plastics and chemical powders.

The Rotary Batch Mixer is available in multiple capacities and can be configured to meet specific process requirements. Optional features include liquid spray systems for coating or flavor addition, load cells for batch weight verification, dust-tight inlet and discharge valves, and PLC-ready controls for integration into automated production lines.
