Fluidizer Blenders
We have found that in most applications, Fluidizer Blenders notably outperform standard equipment. Food and spice companies using other types of industrial mixers aren’t as aware of fluidizers. However, several companies produce industrial blenders for the food, spice, and seasoning industries; most of these blending machine manufacturers, however, don't have the technology or experience to manufacture fluidizer blenders.
Cost
The cost of industrial fluidizer mixers includes extra blades, steel, and the workmanship required to build them; however, the speed and flexibility of the products you can blend are worth it.
Features
Fluidizer mixers resemble ribbon and paddle blenders on the outside; however, their interiors are different. Inside, they have a series of fluidizer bending blades that are oriented in various directions to create a smooth counter-current flow while maintaining a consistent material level in the blending chamber. Additionally, the blending speed of fluidizer mixers is faster than that of traditional ribbon or paddle mixers.
See It in Action
See our short video showing how quickly and effectively our 50 cu. ft. Fluidizer Blenders mixes blue food coloring into a batch of coarse salt.
Ribbon Blenders
Our industrial Ribbon Blenders are among the most popular machines we manufacture. In the food, spice, and seasoning blending industry, a ribbon blender is considered a standard. These industrial food-grade mixers are also typically less expensive to purchase, depending on the number of custom features you choose to add, and are commonly used for bulk dry powder formula blending, granules, pellets, and mixing other solid forms.
Paddle Blenders
Paddle blenders have been a part of the American industry for a long time. Their initial, maintenance, and per-pound production costs are quite low, and they are easy to load and unload. A standard model tends to mound the product in the machine’s center unless it is somewhat liquid. However, we reduce mounding by adjusting some blades to accommodate your specific blending needs.
We have designed a line of customized paddle blenders for the food, spice, and seasoning industries. The agitators in these food-grade mixers are specifically designed to scoop, lift, and tumble ingredients, providing thorough yet gentle movement. The food-grade mixers feature our industrial paddles, which are especially useful for tasks that require gentle blending, such as coating nuts, mixing items like potato or seafood salad, or creating slurries like spaghetti sauce. Likewise, they excel at creating deliberate swirls, like caramel ribbons running through ice cream or colored swirls in concrete or stucco.

Custom Features Commonly Ordered
Our Custom Features offer many choices, including the following:
- We provide contact surfaces in several options, including pharmaceutical-, food-, and chemical-grade finishes. You can also choose from low-bacteria, highly polished mirror, near-mirror, #4, or 2B finishes. Additionally, the exterior of your industrial mixer can be finished in either a professional matte or a polished mirror look.
- We can add cooling and heating jackets to our blending machines, which can be an indispensable processing step for many industrial food manufacturers.
- We manufacture state-of-the-art mezzanines built specifically for your blender, which can include safety gates for loading.
- Our discharges on our industrial food mixing machines can be a slide gate, butterfly valve, ball valve, or bomb bay doors.
- Our industrial blending machines can come in standard-, heavy-, and extra-heavy-duty varieties. Order them in 316 stainless, 304 stainless, mild, or other types and grades of steel.
- We can add a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to your industrial blender if a gentler mixing action is desired. This addition allows the machine to handle the product gently, like a paddle, while still blending it quickly. This option also allows the manufacturer to slow the mixture considerably, safely adding new products through our standard safety grates while the blades are still in motion.
- We can also equip your industrial blender with a dust collection system to promote a cleaner working environment and for the safety of your manufacturing team.
- We also offer large industrial Bins and Bulk Silos for your food, spice, and seasoning storage.
