Admix is recognized as a leader of high shear, high flow, and high-speed sanitary mixing equipment with a special focus on powder induction & dispersion and particle size reduction. Serving industries such as food & beverage, meat & poultry, dairy, pharmaceutical and chemical, our experience has led us to develop a diverse product line to meet nearly any mixing challenge. For 30+ years we have manufactured in-tank batch mixers, inline mixing and milling equipment, powder induction & dispersion systems and static blenders. We manufacture both high shear and low shear mixers, many of which are offered in sizes ranging from lab scale to full production configurations.

With extensive applications and equipment knowledge, we’ve helped the world’s most well-known food & beverage manufacturers mix ingredients perfectly. Admix customers have drastically improved overall mixing time, improved end-product quality, reduced ingredient waste due to unmixed ingredients getting left behind, achieved energy savings, and improved ergonomic safety for workers!

When it comes to high shear batch mixers, the Admix Rotosolver is the market leader. The Rotosolver offers the highest flow on the market, superior wetting out of powders, and an easy-to-clean, 3-A compliant design.

In addition to high shear and low shear batch mixers, we offer high shear inline emulsifiers and wet milling machines for particle size reduction and producing shelf-stable emulsions. Powder induction and dispersion systems round out the portfolio, inducting powders at speeds up to 500 lbs. per minute.

Whether you need high shear in-tank mixing, inline mixing and milling, or powder induction and dispersion, we can help. We encourage you to schedule a mix test with your ingredients in our fully equipped lab. On-site equipment trial programs are also available so you can use Admix equipment at your own facility with your own operators before you buy! Your Ingredients, Perfectly Mixed.

Aerzen

Aerzen is a worldwide manufacturer of positive displacement, hybrid, and turbo blowers. Aerzen is an innovator since it was founded in Germany in 1864. Aerzen manufactures positive displacement blowers, turbo blowers, screw compressors, and vacuum pumps that supply oil-free air to processes in food and water treatment. Since 1983, Aerzen USA has been supplying and supporting Aerzen equipment in the USA, and with sister companies in Mexico and Canada expanded throughout North America. Aerzen’s positive displacement machines are known for high reliability and efficiency and are chosen for harsh environments, difficult applications and where high turndown capability is required.

Aerzen provides various types of dry, single-stage, air-cooled positive displacement blowers and compressors for pressures to 50 psig and vacuum to 25.5” Hg. Blowers are used for processes such as pneumatic conveying in both vacuum and pressure modes to handle the transfer of dry bulk materials.

The Delta Hybrid Blower was developed with the focus on increasing energy efficiency and achieving a significant reduction of energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The wire-to-process energy usage reduction can exceed 30% over typical positive displacement blowers depending on operating conditions and turndown range.

Aerzen Turbo Blowers are single-stage high-speed radial turbo blowers designed to meet the varying flow and pressure requirements in many different processes. This modern frequency-controlled, gearless driven machine, along with lubricant-free aero bearings, guarantees an economical, reliable and maintenance-free compressor operation.

Aerzen Rental provides temporary oil-free blower and compressor solutions under 50 psig. Rental units are available for immediate deployment in the event of a production failure or shortfall, as well as longer-term operational leasing and rent to own programs. AERZEN offers you 100% oil-free process air for various applications in food technology. For 100% product purity and safety solutions visit: www.aerzen.com/en-us
