About Alphie Mixers

Alphie mixers are ideal for homogeneous mixing of powder – be it with different bulk density or different proportion of mixing or different shape and particle size.
The exceptional efficiency of the Alphie mixers is achieved by the harmonic interaction of rotation, translation and inversion throughout the mixing process.
The mixing container turns in a three-dimensional motion. The product is subjected to an ever-changing, rhythmically pulsing motion.
The resulting mixtures meet the highest requirements and are achieved in a minimum of time.
The best part is, separate and detachable mixing drum / container / bin is loaded inside the mixing cage, meaning no cross contamination and exposure to work environment.

Advantages of the Alphie Mixer

The best possible homogeneity to analyze representative samples or guarantee distribution coefficients. Compounds of different densities or sizes will mix completely and efficiently. Whether unequal concentrations, never the fear of the lump formation when adding liquid to your powders.

Short mixing time

Reduce working and handling time and increases the throughput of the unit. The classical Tumbling Motion ensures every particle of powder / droplet of liquid changes its position and mixes in the mass. As you can find in this video, the Powder filled in Container changes its position at every angle of motion. The rotary and shaking motion gives required homogeneity in shorter duration.

Gentle Mixing

Certain compounds are sensitive to heat or react with the contact of local temperature peaks. Other compounds are changed or damaged by shear force.  Since, there is no rotating blade or agitator inside, there is no sheer force being applied on the material. Alphie Mixer has an Inversion Motion rather than Rotary Motion. Rotary motion imparts Centrifugal Force which in turn produces high attacking force and friction among the particles. While, there are no such forces in Inversion action.

No Segregation of Different Compounds

With other mixers, it is observed that particles with different density or size makes cluster during mixing. They get segregated and remain on outer periphery of mixer or at center of mixing mass.

The optimal Aplhie mixing result is reached and maintained over the complete mixing period. Just set the speed and time for a perfect blend.

Freedom From Layering Filling

It has been observed, that powders are added in layers in conventional mixers. That is, some proportion of Powder A is added first. Then, some proportion of Powder B is added. This process is repeated 3 to 4 times. This is called layering filling. Using Alphie 3D Mixer gives freedom from such process. All powder can be filled without making any layer and still best mixing results are achieved

No Agitator shaft and so no Local Heating

In Mixers with mechanical stirring devices the mixer blades are rotated on horizontal, vertical or inclined shafts. he high rotating speed and the forced motion generate shear forces harming the compounds. Depending on the mixer construction local temperature peaks are generated which heat up the mixer content. Certainly, this can be advantageous for sticky material; but it is big enemy for free flowing powder.

Single Shaft Mixer or also called as Single Axis Conventional Mixers are in existence since hundreds of years. The development of Alphie 3D Tumbler Mixer is breakthrough in Mixing Technology by offering 3D Movement of mixing material.

Alphie Mixers are offered in Laboratory Mixing capacity as well as Large Production Capacity range – as big as 1500 Ltr and above. The Mixing movement and technology is same for all sizes – The Kinematic Inversion.

Adjustable Holder for Multiple Size Containers

Available Adapters for Multiple Containers

Have Complete Digital Control of All Functions

Alphie mixers are built with HMI / PLC panel and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) as standard supply. User can set the Container Speed, Mixing Time and Mixing Direction.

The control panel is programmed with the ability to set mixing in forward direction for some part of mixing cycle and in reverse direction in other part of cycle time. This is especially beneficial for mixing diverse density material.

Alphie mixers have Recipe Mode, where speed and time can be set with password protection.

Inching Mode will allow you to manually move the mixing basket to any position possible incrimentally.

Our control panels are built accordance to CE certification.

Optional Liquid Injection While Mixing

As an optional feature, Alphie mixers can be constructed to have a provision to inject liquid in the mixing chamber while mixer is running. A pre defined quantity of liquid at required interval can be inserted in mixing container without stopping the mixer.

Ability to Mix in a Vacuum or Custom Environment

Using the optional injection design, the ability to connect a vacuum pump will allow to create a vacuum inside the container or backfill with any gas.  You will be able to mix and blend in any environment you choose.

Stainless Steel GMP Construction

All Alphie 3D Powder Mixers are available with all exposed parts constructed in stainless steel for GMP processing of your materials.

Safety is always designed with all of our products including interlocks, emergency stops, protective shields, lids, or cages.

Alphie Fixed Drum 3D Powder Mixers for Production

Production Mixing and Blending

Though we offer removable drum type mixers as standard practice, we also offer production mixers similar to conventional blenders such as ribbon blenders and V-Blenders.

In this design, the mixing barrel is fixed and is not removable. The powder to be mixed is simply filled in this rotating barrel. Such kind of configuration is suitable for single and fixed mixing application.

This mixer configuration is ideal for use in medium to large batch production industries like food/nutrition, pharmaceuticals, metal powder, resin and plastic powder, bakeries, spices, concentrates, nuclear fuel and many more applications.
