PerMix Paddle Mixer

UK-centric features:

• Gentle mixing: Ideal for delicate pharmaceutical or food blends that cannot tolerate aggressive shear.
• Liquid spray systems: Precise dosing of binders, flavours, or moisture during mixing.
• Jacketed shells: Heating or cooling jackets to control temperatures in reaction or process blends.
• Sanitary finishes / CIP-ready design: Fully polished internals for easy cleaning in food or pharma lines.

Typical UK / EU applications:

• Spice blends, premixes, botanical powders, enzyme blends.
• Fine chemical blends in regulated plants.
• Additive mixing in adhesive or coating plants.

Some mixes demand more energy or better uplift — the twin-shaft (fluidised zone) design handles them.

• High velocity mixing: Throws materials into a pseudo fluid zone, reducing mixing time and improving uniformity even with particle size variation.
• Suitable for dense blends: Handles multi-component mixes that resist uniform blending.
• Dual shafts: Allow more flexible control of shear and residence time.

For vertical integration, or when factory floor space is at a premium.

• Compact vertical footprint: Ideal for retrofit or tight lines.
• Gentle paddle motion: Suited for delicate materials.
• Full discharge capability: Ensures no dead zones.
• Vacuum/drying versions: Flexible for process lines in UK/EU plants.

PerMix UK offers robust construction options tailored to your process and regulatory needs:

• 304 / 316 Stainless Steel: For general food and pharma use.
• Hastelloy / Titanium: For aggressive chemical reagents.
• Hardox or abrasion liners: For heavy, abrasive materials.
• Surface treatments: Electropolish, mirror finishes to minimise contamination.
• Seals, bearings & purge systems: Designed for ATEX zones and safe handling of dust.

To accommodate complex processes, we provide:

• Vacuum or pressure loading systems: Handle powders without dust spillage.
• Tote, bulk bag or silo interfaces: Flexible loading options.
• Bottom valves: Butterfly, slide gate, or ball valves for controlled discharge.
• Tilt or pivoting vessels: Designed for sticky materials.
• Liquid injection systems: Spray bars and metering systems to introduce binders, solvents, or additives uniformly.

Critical for regulated operations (food, pharma):

• Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems: Internal spray nozzles allow full washdown without disassembly.
• Waterless CIP / dry cleaning: Options to conserve water or operate in cleanroom lines.
• Smooth welds & polished internals: Minimise residue and ease manual washdown.
• Removable internals: Allow inspection or manual cleaning when required.

Integrated Loading, Unloading, and Material Handling Solutions by PerMix & Fuxion MME

Efficient production begins and ends with seamless material movement. PerMix UK, in partnership with Fuxion MME, delivers a complete, integrated approach to loading, dosing, and discharging systems for powder, paste, and liquid processing. Together, we offer turnkey solutions that connect mixing, material handling, and packaging into one smart, automated flow.

Loading Options for PerMix Mixers

PerMix mixers can be configured with a variety of loading systems depending on your process, ingredients, and production scale:

1. Manual Loading:
For small batches and R&D applications, mixers can be top-loaded using manual bag dumping stations with integrated dust extraction and sifting options.

2. Vacuum Loading Systems:
Vacuum conveyors draw powders, granules, or flakes directly from drums, totes, or silos into the mixer, ensuring a sealed, dust-free environment—ideal for pharmaceutical, food, and chemical production.

3. Pneumatic Conveying Systems:
High-efficiency conveying lines move powders and pellets from bulk silos or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) directly into mixers. Available in both dense phase and dilute phase configurations, these systems reduce contamination risk and improve product consistency.

4. Screw or Auger Feed Systems:
When handling cohesive or heavy powders, a screw feeder ensures precise, controlled delivery into the mixer—perfect for gravimetric or volumetric dosing applications.

5. Big Bag / FIBC Discharge Systems:
For large-scale operations, PerMix integrates bulk bag dischargers with hoists or frames that connect directly to the mixer inlet. Combined with dust-tight docking systems, they provide hygienic and efficient ingredient handling.

Unloading & Discharge Options

After the mixing process, PerMix mixers can be equipped with several discharge configurations to suit your downstream process:

1. Bottom Valve Discharge:
Fast, gravity-assisted emptying for free-flowing materials.

2. Auger or Screw Discharge:
For cohesive or slow-moving powders, a screw discharge system ensures consistent flow into hoppers, conveyors, or packaging machines.

3. Tilting Discharge Systems:
PerMix tilting mixers allow complete discharge for batch changeovers or washdown, minimizing residue and cleaning time—ideal for sanitary or multi-flavor production environments.

4. Direct Filling Integration:
Mixers can discharge directly into Fuxion MME filling and packaging equipment, reducing handling steps and maximizing process efficiency.

Micro & Macro Dosing Systems

Precision is everything when it comes to quality control and repeatability. Fuxion MME’s dosing solutions complement PerMix mixers perfectly, offering both:

• Micro-Dosing Systems for ingredients like vitamins, colorants, enzymes, and additives, with accuracies up to ±0.5%.

• Macro-Dosing Systems for bulk powders, starches, or proteins with integrated load cell monitoring and recipe-based automation.

These dosing modules can feed directly into PerMix mixers or combine with vacuum or screw conveyors for automated ingredient addition.

Bulk Material Handling Integration

The PerMix–Fuxion alliance delivers a complete bulk material handling ecosystem, including:

• Big bag fillers and unloaders

• Pneumatic and mechanical conveyors

• Gain-in-weight and loss-in-weight feeders

• Dust-free bag dump stations

• Storage silos and intermediate holding tanks

• Bucket elevators and vibratory feeders

This holistic approach ensures ingredient traceability, batch integrity, and consistent throughput from raw material to finished product.

Filling, Packaging, and End-of-Line Solutions

To complete the process, Fuxion MME offers a full range of downstream equipment that pairs seamlessly with PerMix mixers and dryers:

• Auger fillers, volumetric fillers, and liquid fillers

• Vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal systems

• Jar, drum, and pouch filling systems

• Cappers, sealers, and labeling lines

• Weighing, checkweighing, and metal detection stations

• Robotic palletizing and stretch wrapping units

Whether you’re packaging powders, pastes, or granulated materials, these solutions create an unbroken line from mixing to market-ready packaging.
