Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions buyers ask when choosing a mixer or blender.
What is the difference between a mixer and a blender?
A blender gently combines dry solids, such as powders and granules, into a uniform mix using ribbons, paddles, or a tumbling action. A mixer covers a wider range of jobs, including liquids, pastes, and high-viscosity products, and can add shear for dispersion or emulsification.
Which mixer is best for high-viscosity products?
Thick pastes, adhesives, and doughs usually call for double planetary, multi-shaft, or double arm mixers. These designs move heavy material through the batch without stalling. Tell us your viscosity and batch size and we will recommend options.
What if I am not sure which process I need?
Select Unsure, Need Assistance in the questionnaire. Our team will review your product details and mixing objective and help you choose the right type of mixer or blender.
Can a mixer heat, cool, or work under vacuum?
Yes. Many mixers and blenders are available with jackets for heating and cooling, and some are rated for vacuum processing and de-aeration. Availability depends on our current inventory, so contact us to confirm the details of any machine.
Do you offer both new and used mixers and blenders?
Yes. We buy and sell new and used mixers, blenders, and agitators, including ribbon and paddle blenders, high shear mixers, double planetary mixers, and more.
What happens after I submit the questionnaire?
