This company offers PowerMix model PDM-10 with the advantage of imparting high-shear to tough-to-mix applications with low flowability. Pictured are two PowerMix machines with interchangeable mix vessels. Beyond a traditional kneading action, the mixing mechanism of this proprietary planetary design may be ideal for heavy pastes and slurry-like applications involving a considerable amount of powders that need to be wetted out and dispersed uniformly.

These 10-gal models feature an additional sawtooth blade on each disperser shaft, doubling the shear input capacity of the mixer. Also shown is a rectangular stirrer, which orbits the vessel, exposing the entire batch contents to the shearing action of the dispersers. For more viscous applications prone to climbing up the stirrer, patented high viscosity blades are available that can offer a helical curvature which pushes product forward and downward.
