Choosing the Right Horizontal Paddle Blender
How to Choose1
Choose for powders
Choose for powders, granules and semi-dry materials needing thorough blending without high shear.
2
For very cohesive or pasty material use a plough shear mixer
For very cohesive or pasty material use a plough shear mixer, and for fragile free-flowing powder consider a ribbon blender.
3
Confirm discharge arrangement against your downstream handling.

Process Engineering
Working Principle
- 1
Paddle agitators rotate in a horizontal trough, lifting and folding material in a three-dimensional pattern that produces convective blending.
- 2
The action is more intensive than a ribbon mixer yet gentler than a plough shear mixer, making it suitable for semi-dry and moderately cohesive materials.
- 3
Discharge is through a bottom or end outlet sized for fast emptying between batches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mixing duties is the Horizontal Paddle Blender designed for?
The Horizontal Paddle Blender is built for Construction Chemicals, Food. It is selected when the batch has to be blended homogeneously without the shear damage a disperser would cause.
What viscosity range can it handle?
The working viscosity range follows the agitator geometry and drive torque. Product-contact parts are Carbon steel or stainless steel 304 / 316L.
How is mixing uniformity achieved?
The agitator geometry keeps the whole batch moving rather than only the zone around the shaft, so colour, filler and additive distribution stay consistent from batch to batch.
What capacity range is available?
Capacity is 200 - 8,000 L, with motor power 5. Vessel size is matched to the batch and the available floor space.
What discharge and cleaning options are available?
Bottom discharge, side discharge and hydraulic discharge arrangements are offered, with vacuum and jacket options where the formulation requires them.

What manufacturers say about working with POLYC MACHINE
These summaries reflect published application cases. Company names and roles are representative of the industries we serve.
“
The plaster and wall-material production line supplied by POLYC MACHINE integrated premixing, milling and transfer in one compact route. We reached consistent fineness across batches, and the local technical line made after-sales support responsive.
“
For our short gravure-ink runs, the small-batch grinding and dispersion route from POLYC MACHINE gave repeatable colour and fast changeover. The trial plan proposed before manufacture confirmed our fineness window without over-specifying the machine.
“
Our 1000L basket mill from POLYC MACHINE handles pigment and ink batches with the temperature control we needed for heat-sensitive formulations. Across multiple sites, the consistent basket-mill configuration simplified operator training and spare-parts planning.
