About this equipment

The UZX-998 conical screw mixer gently blends fragile powders, heat sensitive powders and powders that tend to segregate, in a vertical conical vessel. A cantilevered screw turns on its own axis while an orbital arm carries it along the wall. Total volume ranges from 30 to 30,000 L.

Gravity does much of the downward flow, so the unit needs far less power than a horizontal machine of the same volume. Because it works gently, it adds little heat to the product.

Power depends on the product and may vary. We confirm it in the quote, together with the weight and dimensions.

How the conical screw mixer works

The screw lifts the material from the bottom of the cone to the surface, while the planetary motion blends it horizontally around the vessel. The rest of the mass flows down by gravity and enters the screw zone again.

The screw stays parallel to the wall and close to it throughout the cycle, so no zones are left unblended. On scale up, the screw and arm speeds are adjusted to the vessel diameter.

Strengths

• Gentle blending with no product distortion and little heat.

• Far less power than a horizontal machine of the same volume.

• Seals and bearings above the product, with no lubricant contact.

• Complete discharge, with no bearings at the vessel bottom.

• Works with small loads too, from 10% of the total volume.

Where a conical screw mixer is used

• Pharma and biotech, for powders and active ingredients whose crystal structure must be kept.

• Food and supplements, for protein powders, supplements and infant formula.

• Chemicals and plastics, for pigments, additives and minerals.

• Metals and minerals, for metallic powders and abrasive mineral compounds.

• Coating, moistening, granulating with binders and vacuum drying with liquid recovery.

How to choose a conical screw mixer

Choose the conical screw mixer for sensitive, fragile or easily segregating powders and when you want low energy use. The batch size sets the model, and the number of screws sets the blending intensity.

For a fixed agitator with a ribbon and screw in the same type of conical vessel, see the vertical ribbon blender UZX-999 for powders and granules, 30–30,000 L. For shorter cycles and blends as fine as 1:1,000,000, the right choice is the vertical paddle mixer UZX-1000 for powders and granules, 30–20,000 L.

Options

• Lab model with a working volume of about 8 L, on casters, easy to dismantle.

• One, two or three screws.

• Spray nozzles for moistening or coating.

• Heating or cooling jacket with steam, thermal oil or water, with ASME or PED certification.

• Vacuum dryer version for low temperature drying with no oxidation, or for deaerating slurries.

• Flush fitting sampling unit.

Integrated solutions
for the factory of the future.

Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.

01
Industry

Plug & Play IIoT & Monitoring

See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.

  • OEE dashboard on your phone from day one
