Food grade mixers, also known as sanitary mixers, are designed to meet the strict sanitation requirements of the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. They are typically constructed with stainless steel product contact surfaces that have a smooth, seamless finish to prevent the buildup of bacteria or other contaminants. The interior of the mixer can be polished to a high finish, typically up to a 120 grit final finish, to further reduce the risk of contamination.
Food grade mixers are available in a variety of configurations, including single or twin shaft mixers with ribbon or paddle agitators. The type of agitator used will depend on the specific mixing requirements of the product being processed. Ribbon agitators are often used for high-viscosity products, while paddle agitators are better suited for low-viscosity products.
Food grade mixers are an essential piece of equipment in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, as they are used to blend and mix a wide range of ingredients and products. They are designed to meet the stringent sanitation requirements of these industries, ensuring that the final products are safe and free of contaminants.
