How an Industrial Mixer Makes You Faster, Cleaner, Leaner & Saves Costs

Achieving a homogenous blend is one of the most vital outputs of your production line. Not only is it the stage that adds value to the ingredients, but it ensures a high-quality end product that maintains your customer satisfaction and warrants your sales price. Using the right industrial mixer can deliver product quicker, cleaner, leaner and cheaper and will also boost your profit margins in more ways than one. The False Economy of a Fixed Industrial Mixer In-line production systems feature fixed equipment that means only certain elements of the processing line can be used at one time. When one piece of equipment is in use another is invariably idling. This is less problematic if you produce a single product. However, if your customers are demanding greater variety and your product line is expanding, every second counts. The product literature that accompanies a fixed industrial mixer will often promote super-quick mixing. But a focus on blend time only reflects production speed at one point of the process. Ignoring end-to-end processing times can be a costly mistake when deciding on the best blending equipment to purchase. Faster End-to-End Processing Ignore standalone blending times and consider how long it takes the mixer to be filled, emptied and made ready to go back into operation. It might only take four minutes to blend but loading could take two hours and packing three, giving a total time of just over five hours. And that’s without factoring in cleaning times.
