High Viscosity Mixers

Machine Features

Available in standard sizes from 20 to 1,600 gallons, this horizontal paste mixer scales to meet a wide range of production requirements, from laboratory development to full industrial output. Inverter-driven variable-speed control allows operators to adjust shear intensity based on material behavior, while multiple blade configurations (including high-viscosity, paddle, and ribbon options) support diverse paste mixing applications, from adhesives, sealants, and ceramics to carbon paste. Vacuum and jacket designs are available for processes that require additional environmental or thermal control. Stainless steel and carbon steel construction options, with finishes milled to a highly polished standard, ensure the machine meets both performance and compliance requirements across industries.

Horizontal Paste Mixer FAQs

What materials is Hockmeyer’s horizontal paste mixer designed for?

Hockmeyer’s horizontal paste mixer is engineered for high-viscosity, non-flowing, and heavy materials, including ceramics, windshield PVB, carbon paste, and other demanding industrial formulations that require uniform wetting and controlled shear.

What size options are available for this paste mixer?

The horizontal paste mixer is available in standard sizes ranging from 20 to 1,600 gallons, covering applications from laboratory-scale development to full industrial production.

How does the horizontal paste mixer eliminate dead spots during mixing? 

The specially designed impellers follow the precise contours of the tank, while the overlapping blade arrangement prevents material buildup along the walls. This combination ensures the entire batch is consistently worked throughout the mixing cycle.

Can this machine be used for both laboratory-scale development and full production?

Yes. The horizontal paste mixer is available in sizes from 20 gallons to 1,600 gallons, making it suitable for both small-batch development and large-scale industrial paste mixing. Custom designs to match specific requirements are also a Hockmeyer specialty.
