Hosokawa Micron B.V. products

The Nauta conical screw mixer is a batch mixer, specially designed for segregative, free-flowing powders and pastes. It is a pioneer in mixing technology, named after Mr. J.E. Nauta, who developed the first conical Nauta mixer in 1939. The Nauta mixer is famous for its low-intensity mixing. It is especially suited for delicate products and processes where very accurate results are required and is synonymous with gentle mixing of large volumes of up to 100,000 litres.

The conical paddle mixer can be used for mixing, drying and reaction processes. It is compact, quick, efficient and suitable for many applications in a diverse range of industries. The conical paddle mixer is a multi-purpose mixer for processes where high accuracy and fast mixing with limited product distortion are important.

The Cyclomix high-shear impact mixer is a revolutionary high-speed, intensive paddle mixer and agglomerator that has been specially designed for cohesive powders with liquids or melt binders. It also handles pastes, slurries and liquids with varying characteristics with ease due to its combination of high-shear and high-impact forces. This high shear impact mixer offers a high level of homogeneity in the end product, such as frequently demanded by the food-, chemical-, plastic-, toner-, mineral-, cosmetic- and pharmaceutical industries.

The Vitomix ribbon screw mixer is a mid-shear mixer capable of ultra-short cycle times with up to 8 times more transport volume than conventional ribbon screw mixers. The Vitomix, also known as ribbon screw blender, also has a wider range of operation using tip speeds from 0.4 m/s to 6.0 m/s. This multi-functional ribbon screw mixer combines gentle mixing and mid to low shear in the one compact machine. It`s ideal for the addition of liquids and creates a homogenous mixture without using lump breakers. The ribbon screw mixer is an energy-efficient mixer that reduces energy costs and saves on mixing time.

Hosokawa Micron provides the solids and bulk handling industry with innovative process systems for the agglomeration of fine powders and particles, also called wet granulation or particle size enlargement. Agglomeration solutions are great tools for improving physical properties like flowability, wettability and dispersability, bulk density and product appearance.

In a powder mixing system, the equipment, process steps and interacting parameters must all work together as an integral solution in order to ensure the optimal functionality, quality and efficiency of your total system. That`s why, at Hosokawa Micron, we carefully select, configure and integrate all the components and processes when designing a powder mixing system.

The Modulomix is a continuous modular paddle mixer based on proven Cyclomix batch mixing technology. It has been designed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry and can be used for low, medium or high shear applications. The Modulomix can be integrated in a PAT (Process Analytical Technology) environment. The Modulomix is a very compact blender that can be incorporated into Hosokawa Micron’s total continuous blending systems. This means that you can combine the Modulomix modular mixer with PTS, LIW feeders, continuous blenders, PAT technologies and even downstream processing, like (wet) granulation and/or compacting. This is extremely useful in pharmaceutical applications and is a specialism Hosokawa Micron is proud of.

Hosokawa Micron`s Powder Characteristics Tester PT-X employs the methods developed by Ralph L. Carr (Carr Indices) to determine the flowability and floodability of dry powders. The model PT-X utilizes state of the art features to identify the specific characteristics of powdered samples for a wide range of application fields.
