In 2024, a local food manufacturer in Chile approached us seeking a mixing solution capable of gentle blending with clean, residue-free discharge. The materials to be mixed included food-grade thickeners such as carrageenan, sugar, potassium citrate, xanthan gum, guar gum, and maltodextrin. These ingredients have relatively low bulk density and are sensitive to temperature during mixing—overheating can cause moisture absorption and stickiness, compromising product quality.
To meet these specific requirements, we recommended the Conical Screw Mixer, which provides controlled, gentle mixing while maintaining temperature stability. After detailed technical communication, the client chose this solution and successfully placed an order.
