High-speed paddle mixer for food industry blends
Achieve rapid, high-energy blending of varied particulate materials with precision and speed, ensuring consistent product quality while efficiently breaking down agglomerations to streamline your processing operations.

The Paddle Mixer ZSD from Zeppelin Systems is designed for high-speed blending and agitation, catering to the demands of the food, plastics, and chemical industries. This upright cylindrical mixer features a conical outlet and an agitator shaft with welded paddles positioned near the wall, enabling efficient breaking down of agglomerations. With its gear motor-driven mechanism, the mixer facilitates intensive mixing of powders and granules, achieving uniform consistency in products like cheese powder, rubber compounds, and paint emulsions.
Ideal for batch processes, the ZSD operates at high speeds with upward-facing paddles creating rapid vertical cycles of product movement, while maintaining a safe, shaft-seal-free design. It offers easy cleaning and inspection through a top access door equipped with a safety limit switch. Integration into existing production lines is seamless with the conical outlet’s connecting flange adaptable for various downstream units. Additionally, the Paddle Mixer ZSD provides energy-efficient operation by reducing speed during filling and emptying phases, ensuring reliable and quick mixing of even small component additions.
