Gansons Nauta Mixers: The Perfect Mix

A Nauta® Mixer is a type of low shear mixing equipment used primarily for handling powders and granules. It is designed to efficiently blend and homogenize dry materials by employing a unique operating principle that ensures thorough mixing without the need for aggressive mechanical agitation.  

The Nauta® Mixer, commonly known as a mixer machine, is particularly useful in homogenous powder mixing, where homogeneity and consistency are crucial. Its design assures low shear and low energy, making it a great choice for the powder mixing machine, especially where precision is essential. Because of its versatility, it is commonly used in powder blending and other specialized operations where a delicate touch is required.

Working Principle of Gansons Nauta® Mixer

The Gansons Nauta® mixer includes a conical-shaped vessel for its blending process. This vessel design, with a wide top and a narrow bottom, promotes effective convergence of powder substances. Inside the vessel, a rotating screw facilitates a lifting and tumbling action, ensuring both radial and axial movement of the materials, resulting in thorough mixing. Additionally, the mixer features a spray nozzle for the controlled addition of liquids while the powder is being mixed. To eliminate any large agglomerates, a lump breaker is attached, and the system also has the capability for heating under vacuum conditions. Moreover, for quality checks, a sampling device is integrated into the mixer. Finally, at the bottom of the vessel, there is a discharger valve that efficiently releases the blended materials once the drying process is completed, ready for further processing. 

Features and Benefits

Nauta Mixer

Three Distinct Intermixing Currents

  • The Nauta mixer uses a screw that orbits the tank to remove material away from the walls.
  • The screw deflects the material into the center of the tank, promoting thorough intermixing.
  • The mixing screw rotates on its axis while revolving 360 degrees along the periphery of the product container.
  • Sampling Device

    Uniquely engineered sampling device enables in-line sampling.
