Nauta® Mixers

HCPS offers blending services to compliment our size reduction capabilities. Multiple components can be blended prior to milling or large batch homogenization can be accomplished after milling. 

The Nauta® Conical Screw Mixer is a batch mixer specially designed for segregative, free-flowing powders. It is especially suited to blend delicate products and for processes where very accurate results are required. The basic design consists of a cylindrical screw located at the vessel wall that conveys product from the bottom of the conical vessel to the product surface. The screw is attached to an arm which rotates around the perimeter of the vessel causing convective mixing and shear. The particles at the surface opposite the screw accelerate downward in a mass flow by gravity as the diameter of the vessel decreases. The three actions result in a unique three dimensional mixing action offering exceptional performance and mixing accuracy.

The following batch mixers are available for your processing requirements:

• Pilot scale  conical screw mixers for small batch requirements
• Production scale conical screw mixers for large batch blending requirements
