Rotary Drum Mixers

The Rotary Drum Mixer is a quick, efficient, and the ideal gentle industrial mixer with a low speed and no moving parts inside the drum. JR Boone's rotary drum mixers are used all over the world for tea blending, often with optional spray bar for liquid additions. Rotary Drum Mixer is also perfect for delicate, friable or abrasive materials.

The unique mixing blades are fully welded to the rotating drum and completely fluidise the mixture with every revolution, the combination of low speed and no moving parts within the drum mixer produce a no shear, gentle mixing action. Within the fluidised mixture powders and granules of widely different bulk densities and particle size can move freely ensuring a rapid and efficient mix.
