PerMix UK supplies a complete range of ribbon mixers engineered to meet the demands of manufacturers across the United Kingdom and Europe. Designed with a focus on hygienic construction, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance, our ribbon mixers are trusted in industries as diverse as food, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, chemicals, and building materials.

All PerMix ribbon mixers are customisable, from batch size and agitator design to discharge valves and CIP options. Every system is available with UKCA and CE marking and can be built to ATEX standards for safe operation under DSEAR regulations.

The horizontal ribbon mixer is one of the most widely used mixing solutions in the UK. Its U-shaped trough and double helical ribbons move material both radially and laterally, ensuring a fast, uniform blend of powders, granules, and light pastes.

Key benefits for UK industries:

Rapid mixing times minimise energy use and heat generation.
Liquid addition ports for spraying oils, flavourings, or binders during blending.
Jacketed designs for heating or cooling, ideal for food and chemical process.
Hygienic options with polished stainless steel, fully weld-ground finishes, and CIP spray balls.

Applications in the UK :

Blending spice mixes, flour, and bakery ingredients.
Mixing plant-based proteins and nutritional powders.
Chemical additives, detergents, and pigments.
Mortars, adhesives, and construction compounds.

Where floor space is limited, or delicate materials require gentle handling, the vertical ribbon mixer is the preferred choice. The vertical design uses a central ribbon agitator inside a conical or cylindrical body, lifting and folding material for consistent blends.

Advantages for UK manufacturers:

Compact footprint for smaller facilities or retrofits.
Gentle mixing action prevents damage to fragile materials.
Complete discharge with minimal residue.
ATEX-compliant builds available for powders prone to dust ignition.

Typical UK applications

Reduced drying times under vacuum.
Precise temperature control with heating and cooling jackets.
Condensate recovery systems for solvent or aroma collection.
Explosion-proof options for solvent-rich environments.

For processes that require both mixing and drying, PerMix offers vacuum ribbon mixers and dryers. These combine ribbon agitation with vacuum technology, enabling low-temperature drying of heat-sensitive materials while maintaining batch homogeneity.

Key features :

Reduced drying times under vacuum.
Precise temperature control with heating and cooling jackets.
Condensate recovery systems for solvent or aroma collection.
Explosion-proof options for solvent-rich environments.

Applications in the UK & EU:

Pharmaceutical powders (antibiotics, excipients).
Nutraceutical blends with heat-sensitive ingredients.
Food products requiring moisture reduction (cocoa, starches).
Specialty chemicals requiring solvent recovery.

PerMix ribbon mixers for the UK market are available in a range of materials to suit product characteristics and compliance requirements:

304 / 316 Stainless Steel — hygienic food and pharmaceutical applications.
Hastelloy & Titanium — resistance to corrosive chemicals.
Hardox — high wear resistance for abrasive powders.
Carbon Steel — cost-effective for non-food or industrial processes.

All builds can be supplied with polished sanitary finishes and designed for easy cleaning and CIP integration.

PerMix UK offers extensive options to tailor your ribbon mixer to your process:

Heating & cooling jackets for cook & chill or controlled drying.
Air purge seals to protect against dust ingress.
Liquid additive spray bars for precise dosing.
Load cells for accurate batch monitoring.
PLC/HMI controls with recipe entry and batch traceability.
Custom discharge valves (butterfly, slide gate, ball).

Regulatory compliance: UKCA, CE, and ATEX builds ensure safety and legality in UK and EU operations.
Engineering expertise: Ribbon mixers optimised for throughput, hygiene, and product integrity.
Local service: FAT/SAT, commissioning, and technical support available in the UK.

PerMix ribbon mixers are widely used across the UK and Europe in:

Food & Beverage — spices, bakery mixes, ready meals, plant-based proteins.
Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals — powder blends with GMP compliance.
Chemicals — pigments, detergents, adhesives, polymers.
Construction Materials — mortar, plaster, adhesives, and compounds.

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.
