Industrial horizontal mixers for bulk, powdered, and wet materials
UGN Invent Club supplies industrial horizontal mixers for manufacturing facilities that require uniform mixing of raw materials, consistent mix quality, and the ability to adapt the equipment to a specific production process.
These mixers can be used to process free-flowing, powdered, granulated, moist, and paste-like materials. The equipment is selected based on the product type, required capacity, throughput, operating mode, loading and unloading methods, as well as production automation requirements.
What tasks are horizontal mixers suitable for?
Horizontal mixers are used in applications where it is important to obtain a homogeneous mixture of several components in a short cycle time. They can function either as a standalone piece of equipment or as part of a complex production line.
This equipment is suitable for:
- mixing dry, free-flowing ingredients;
- work with powders and granules;
- mixing components of different densities;
- preparation of mixtures prior to packaging;
- the production of food, feed, industrial, or chemical mixtures;
- integration into dosing, grinding, conveying, and packaging lines;
- Operation in cyclic or continuous mode, depending on the project.
The main advantage is uniform mixing without “dead zones”
The dual-zone belt system creates a counter-flow of material inside the working chamber. One part of the working mechanism moves the product from the edges toward the center, while the other moves it from the center toward the edges.
Thanks to this principle, the ingredients are actively mixed throughout the entire volume of the mixer, and the risk of dead spots is reduced. This is especially important for formulations where even slight inconsistencies can affect the quality of the finished product.
Volumes and Productivity
Horizontal mixers can be manufactured in a variety of sizes—from compact solutions for small-scale production to large industrial systems.
Approximate range of standard volumes:
- 75 liters;
- 150 liters;
- 250 liters;
- 350 liters;
- 500 liters;
- 800 liters;
- 1,000 liters.
It is also possible to design larger mixers tailored to specific production needs. The choice of capacity depends not only on the desired throughput but also on the fill factor, the density of the raw materials, the mixing time, and the overall workflow of the production line.
Performance Materials
Mixers can be made of AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel, or of painted carbon steel.
The choice of material depends on:
- product type;
- sanitary requirements;
- the aggressiveness of the environment;
- the abrasiveness of the raw materials;
- cleaning conditions;
- fields of application.
For food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or other manufacturing industries with strict hygiene requirements, it is advisable to consider stainless steel models. For technical mixtures, carbon steel models may be sufficient.

- ribbon;
- dual-zone belt-type;
- screw-type;
