Blending and Mixing Skids

Engineered mixing systems that deliver homogeneous blends with precision, efficiency, and full process control.

Product Overview

Our blending and mixing skids provide comprehensive solutions for combining liquids, powders, and additives into uniform products. These systems feature high-shear mixers, static inline blenders, powder induction systems, and precise metering pumps to achieve consistent results. With automated recipe management and CIP capabilities, our mixing skids ensure repeatable quality while minimizing manual handling and contamination risks.

Product Breakdown

  • Batch Mixing Skids: Tank-based systems with top-mounted or side-entry agitators (50-5,000 gallon capacity) for blending liquids and slurries, featuring variable speed drives (10-1,500 RPM) and multiple impeller options
  • Continuous Inline Blending: Static mixer systems for high-volume operations blending two or more liquid streams at flow rates from 10-500 GPM with residence times under 10 seconds for instant homogenization
  • High-Shear Mixing Systems: Rotor-stator mixers generating tip speeds of 3,000-10,000 FPM for emulsification, dispersion, and particle size reduction in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food applications
  • Powder Induction Skids: Venturi-based systems drawing dry ingredients into liquid streams under vacuum, achieving rapid hydration and dispersion while eliminating dust and lumps for products like protein drinks and dry blends
  • Ribbon Blender Systems: Horizontal trough mixers with helical ribbons for dry powder blending, achieving homogeneity coefficients >95% in 5-15 minutes for spice blends, pharmaceutical powders, and nutritional mixes
  • Sanitary Liquid Blending Stations: Skid-mounted systems combining proportional metering pumps, inline mixers, and automated valve manifolds for recipe-driven blending of beverages, sauces, and liquid products

Technical Details

  • Mix Vessels: 316L stainless steel tanks with dished or conical bottoms, jacketed for heating/cooling (-10°C to 95°C), featuring baffles for turbulent mixing and polished interiors (Ra < 0.8 μm)
  • Agitators and Impellers: Direct-drive or gearbox-driven mixers with pitched blade, anchor, helical ribbon, or Cowles blade impellers, sized for viscosities from 1-100,000 cP with power inputs from 0.5-50 HP
  • Metering Pumps: Positive displacement (gear, lobe, or progressive cavity) or peristaltic pumps with ±0.5% flow accuracy, delivering 0.1-100 GPM with sanitary tri-clamp connections and VFD control
  • Inline Mixers: Static mixing elements (6-24 elements) providing 95-99% homogeneity in 3-10 pipe diameters, or dynamic inline mixers with rotor speeds to 3,600 RPM for emulsions and dispersions
  • Load Cells and Scales: Strain gauge load cells with 0.01-0.1% accuracy supporting vessels or ingredient hoppers, with digital indicators and 4-20mA outputs to PLC for automated batching
  • Recipe Control: Touch-screen HMI with recipe database storing ingredient lists, addition sequences, mixing speeds, and times, with batch reporting and trending for quality assurance and optimization
