PerMix Vertical Paddle Mixer

PerMix UK’s Vertical Paddle (PAM series) mixers deliver high mixing fidelity with minimal footprint — ideal for facilities where floor space is limited or where gentle handling is required. Our mixers are engineered for the stringent needs of UK & EU process environments, blending performance with compliance.

Whether for food, cosmetics, fine chemicals or pharmaceutical powders, the vertical paddle design excels in mixing fragile, heat-sensitive or low-shear materials while offering features like CIP, vacuum, and hygienic construction.

  • A single vertical shaft drives the mixing paddles (or ribbon variant) in a spiral or lifting/folding motion.
  • Material is drawn upward along the wall, then allowed to cascade downward by gravity, creating a multidimensional counterflow that enhances homogeneity.
  • Because there’s no aggressive shear or high-speed blades, this configuration is ideal for delicate powders.
  • Optionally, a high-speed chopper may be added to handle lumped material or assist when adding liquids.
  • Discharge is via a flush-fitting plug valve, often mounted at the conical bottom section.

  • Hygienic / sanitary design: polished internal surfaces, flush covers, minimal dead zones
  • Vacuum / Deaeration Option: remove trapped air or moisture during or after mixing
  • Heating / Cooling Jackets: for temperature control, steam or thermal oil support
  • CIP / Spray Balls: integrated wash systems for cleaning without disassembly
  • Construction Materials: 304 / 316L stainless by default; optional Hastelloy, titanium, etc.
  • Flat Bottom / Low Height Designs: alternatives for lower ceiling clearance
  • Instrumentation & Controls: temperature sensors, vacuum gauges, PLC recipes
  • Explosion-proof / ATEX builds: for classified environments
  • Flexible Feeding / Discharge: multiple loading / discharge valve options

  • Gentleness: minimal particle breakage, ideal for fragile ingredients
  • Small footprint: vertical configuration suits tight installations
  • Full discharge & low residue: efficient cleaning, low loss
  • Integrated vacuum / drying options: reduce processing stages
  • Regulatory alignment: engineered for UKCA, CE, ATEX, GMP
  • Local support & commissioning: UK-based installation, validation, parts, service

  • Pharmaceuticals / Nutraceuticals: blending APIs, excipients, moisture-sensitive powders
  • Food / Ingredients: seasonings, flavour blends, protein powders
  • Cosmetics / Personal Care: fine powders, pigment blending, powder mixing
  • Fine Chemicals / Specialty Materials: blending additives, catalysts, sensitive powders

Example: In a UK nutritional supplement facility, a vertical paddle mixer is used to combine delicate botanical extracts with carrier powders under vacuum, preserving active integrity while achieving uniform blends.

When selecting a mixer, consider:

  • Batch/Throughput requirements
  • Powder characteristics: fragility, cohesiveness, moisture content
  • Need for vacuum or drying
  • Temperature control requirements
  • Materials compatibility & hygiene/cleanability demands
  • Discharge / integration into your line
  • Ceiling height & spatial constraints

PerMix UK engineers can map your process data to an optimised, compliant vertical paddle mixer or mixer/dryer configuration.

If you’re after a compact, gentle mixing solution that respects product integrity — the UK-version Vertical Paddle Mixer may be your best bet.
