The amixon® powder mixer Gyraton® for large batches of bulk material.
The new large-volume amixon® powder mixer Gyraton® for the efficient and gentle homogenization of bulk material.
Excursus – With the new Gyraton® mixer, there is plenty of space for large batches
When raw materials are continuously processed in a plant, it is desirable that the raw materials are homogeneous. The more homogeneous they are, the easier it is to achieve a consistently high product quality.

Gentle mixing of bulk materials – with almost no wear
Gyraton® mixers perform this task up to a batch size of 100 m³. An interesting feature is that Gyraton mixers can be used both as batch mixers and as continuous mixers. What makes the Gyraton mixer particularly interesting is that it delivers ideal mixing qualities and requires only a very low drive power.
Large-volume mixers that require only a low electrical power input are always of interest when efficient and gentle homogenisation is desired. The Gyraton® mixer from amixon® is a cost-effective homogenising device that guarantees high mixing quality. The properties of the bulk material are irrelevant. Even moist or poorly flowing materials (time-consolidating materials) can be homogenised without difficulty.

Is the mixing function of the Gyraton® mixer comparable to that of an amixon® VM mixer?
Yes, the way it works is similar, but with a lower specific energy input. The mixing shaft rotates and gently conveys the mixture upwards. At the same time, the mixing shaft moves in a circular path above the mixing chamber floor. The pivot point of the movement is at the top, exactly in the plane of the gas-tight shaft seal. This means that the mixing shaft is in contact with the entire cylinder surface, ensuring that the mixture is free of dead spaces and extremely homogeneous.
Features of the Gyraton® design:
- the mixing shaft is only supported and driven at the top, which enables maintenance-free operation
- the permanently gas-tight and hygienic shaft seal guarantees maximum process reliability
- the mixer shown can homogenise up to 100 m³ of material
- the compact design means that little space is required
- the mixer mixes without dead space. The bottom of the mixer is dome-shaped
