Why Use a Double Cone Mixer and What are the Key Advantages?

Basically, a Double Cone Mixer is an efficient device for mixing dry powders and granules. Its material is usually made of stainless steel, but more exotic alloys can be offered if necessary. Essentially, a double cone mixer is a mixer used to produce a homogeneous mixture of solids, which is essential, especially in the pharmaceutical industry.

Double Cone Mixer

Some of the materials that are mixed using the double cone mixer include flour, as well as most pharmaceutical granules. The design of the equipment features a double cone that eliminates dead spots in the mix. Therefore, when the cones are mixed, the batch is thorough and uniform due to its cone shape. In addition, with this design, the product can be easily discharged into further processing equipment.
