About us
amixon® specialises in the development and manufacturing of processing equipment for the processing industry.
One focus of the amixon® product range is on sterile equipment which fulfils even the highest requirements in terms of hygiene. Continual innovations such as mixing devices and discharge processes for complete discharge have enabled amixon® to make further improvements in productivity and the hygiene standards of the process equipment. Many detailed solutions are protected by patent.
The individual fabricated powder mixers, paste mixers, vacuum dryers, reactors, cone mixers, single-shaft mixers, twin-shaft mixers, vacuum mixers and container mixers find application in many different branches.
All components of the amixon®-mixers are made in Germany. The production of the machines takes place exclusively in the amixon®-factory in Paderborn, Germany.

Conical mixer dryer reactor
Ideal mixing quality for quick and gentle drying, moist and viscous materials at variable filling levels The spiral mixing blade initiates a three-dimensional flow of the mixing goods; conical designed mixing vessel enables powders to be discharged up to 100%. The reactor is vacuum and pressure tight and heatable by steam, thermal oil or water. Fully temperature controlled: the mixing vessel, the mixing arms, the spiral blade. The mixer can be designed to conform with FDA standards to be used as a sterile mixer and reactor which also meets EHEDG requirements and the 3-a-sanitary standards.
KoneSlid® Mixer
amixon® has developed an interesting innovation: a single-shaft powder mixing system with comparatively small dimensions. This precision powder mixer is characterised by particularly short mixing and discharging times, amongst other things. It is thus capable of processing large product quantities in a short cycle time. Ideal mixing qualities and excellent particle protection are achieved in a new way. The mixing container consists of a silo-like container in whose centre a large cone is inserted at the bottom. The powder mixer has a smooth, streamlined design and supports the flow process of the mixtures. Helical mixing tools convey the goods upwards in a spiral-like motion. This process takes place along the wall of the container. Having arrived at the top, the goods slide downwards and are directed to the outside once again by the cone. The homogenisation process takes place in the marginal area between the upward screwing and the downward movement. This process is gentle and effective. After approximately 20 to 30 revolutions an ideal mixing quality is obtained that cannot be further improved in practice. The displacer then lowers itself by a few centimetres, so that the emptying takes place quickly and without residues. The mixer usually discharges into containers, big bags or the storage tanks of a filling machine. If the discharged mixture would land in the middle of the collecting container, a cone of material would form, leading to two disadvantages. On the one hand, the entire intake capacity cannot be used and on the other, bulk material slopes can cause segregation effects. The mixtures are discharged off-centre and segregation-free from the powder mixer described here. amixon® has test mixers in the most diverse sizes for process trials. Good results are assured in advance.
Mixing reactor / vacuum mixing-dryer
Very gentle vacuum-drying at fast reaction rate for dry, moist and viscous materials at variable filling levels The spiral mixing blade initiates a three-dimensional flow of the mixing goods; creating a spiral upward movement on the periphery and downward flow in the centre. The reactor is vacuum and pressure tight and heatable by steam, thermal oil or water. Fully temperature controlled: the mixing vessel, the mixing arms, the spiral blade. The mixer can be designed to conform with FDA standards to be used as a sterile mixer and reactor which also meets EHEDG requirements and the 3a-sanitary standards.
Vertical cone mixer
Ideal mixing quality for dry, moist and viscous materials at variable filling levels The spiral mixing blade of the conical mixer initiates a three-dimensional flow of the mixing goods; creating a helical upward movement on the periphery and downward flow in the center. This blender guarantees very good mixing results and complete discharge. It can be used as powder blender for dry powder, wet suspensions as well as liquids, paste and dough. The vertical mixer can be designed for compliance with FDA and 3-A Sanitary Standards to be used as a sterile mixer and reactor which also meets EHEDG requirements. Further characteristics of the powder blender and conical mixer - If the mixing process requires deagglomeration, high speed cutting rotors can be installed. - The mixing device is driven from the top, using only a single top bearing. - The conical mixer meets all industry standards for surface finish, including sanitary and pharmaceutical requirements. - Jacketed and vacuum rated versions are an ideal vacuum dryer or reactor.
Continuous mixer
Further characteristics: * Technically ideal mixing quality * Option between operation as batch mixer or continuous mixer * Adjustable mixing intensity (from gentle homogenization to intensive deagglomeration) * Definite retention period independently from mixing device/rotation speed * No product loss at start of production * No product loss at end of production * Micro-fine admixture of liquid material without contamination of the mixer * Specific filling level selection from 10% to 80% of cubic capacity * Ideal emptying of residues * Extended process including: moistening, tempering, drying, reaction processing * Highest health standard (GMP Standard); safe cleaning; dry or wet * Mixing apparatus mounted and driven only on upper part
Container mixer
Ideal mixing quality for dry and moist materials at variable filling levels The spiral mixing blade initiates a three-dimensional flow of the mixing goods; creating a spiral upward movement on the periphery and downward flow in the centre. This patented mixing tool provides very good mixing results. It can be used for dry powder and wet suspensions.
Vertical twin shaft mixer
Best mixing quality for dry, moist and viscous materials at variable filling levels The spiral mixing blade of the vertical mixer initiates a three-dimensional rearrangement of the mixing goods. This vertical mixer guarantees best mixing results. It can be used for dry powder, wet suspensions as well as liquids, paste and dough. The vertical mixer can be designed for compliance with FDA and 3-A Sanitary Standards to be used as a sterile mixer and reactor which also meets EHEDG requirements. Further characteristics of the vertical mixer: - The clockwise driven spiral tools initiate a three-dimensional flow of the mixing goods creating a spiral upward movement on the peripheries and downward flow in the center combined with horizontal cross flows. - Vertical mixers can be used if a combination of heavy duty and very gentle mixing tasks have to be done subsequently. - It can be used as a powder blender for dry powder, wet suspensions as well as liquids, paste and dough. - If the mixing process requires deagglomeration, high speed cutting rotors may be mounted. - For dry, moist and viscous materials. Technical ideal mixing qualities can be guaranteed independent of filling level (10 to 100 % of the net volume), rpm-value of the mixing tools and characteristics of the mixing goods (for example: different bulk densities, particle sizes, flow abilities) - Each vertical mixing device is driven from the top, using only a single top bearing. - The twin shaft mixer meets all industry standards for surface finish, including sanitary and pharmaceutical requirements.
Vertical single-shaft mixer
The spiral mixing blade inside the ribbon blender initiates a three-dimensional flow of the mixing goods; creating a helical upward movement on the periphery and downward flow in the center. This industrial mixer guarantees very good mixing results and complete discharge. It can be used as ribbon blender for dry powder, wet suspensions as well as liquids, paste and dough. The vertical mixer can be designed for compliance with FDA and 3-A Sanitary Standards to be used as a sterile mixer and reactor which also meets EHEDG requirements. Further characteristics of the single-shaft mixer / ribbon blender: - If the mixing process requires deagglomeration, high speed cutting rotors can be installed. - The ribbon blender is driven from the top, using only a single top bearing. - The mixer meets all industry standards for surface finish, including sanitary and pharmaceutical requirements. - Jacketed and vacuum rated versions are an ideal vacuum dryer or mixing reactor.
