Dispersion, mixing, coating, agglomeration and more
- CHOOSE YOUR TYPE: Dry mixer available in batch and continuous mixing models.
- BEATS THE COMPETITION: Best used to humidify and coat batches of powdered materials
- MORE FUNCTIONS, SMALLER FOOTPRINT: High performance high spec industrial mixer
- PROVEN RESULTS: Over 450 units in production environments around the globe!
The Pam Apex mixer features 2 types of mixing actions: mixing and separating to prevent clumping and to help achieve an optimal blend of powders with an even distribution.
Combining diffusion mixing with the main blade with high-speed shear dispersion from the chopper, Pam Apex can realize a better blended mix of powders that traditional mixers just can't come close to.
With our smart design to better share processes, the Pam Apex is a great energy saver.
This mixer’s innovations have made impossible processes in various sectors possible; contact us if you’ve had powder mixing issues that need a smarter mixer to solve.
Pam Apex Mixer
Pam Apex Mixer - A high tech solution to your mixing issues
The Pam Apex mixers have a small footprint which saves floor space, a much shorter more efficient processing time which saves time and is available with various types of coatings to prevent wear and contamination*. Multiple blade variants are available so they can be suited to your specific powder processing needs and are perfect for crushing / grinding / defibration / homogenizing / drying and granulation so you can quickly use this relatively compact mixer to create your final output mixture saving money on space and extra machinery.
*Liners: We have ceramic and resin-based mixer liners to prevent wear and help ensure no metal from the unit gets into the delicate powder mix.
With just one unit you can mix, humidify, dry, cool, coat and more. It is specially designed to be pressure vessel compatible which means it can support vacuum drying and pressure applications. **
**Pressure vessel compatible: Other powder mixers are designed to work in regular atmospheric pressure. Pam Apex can, according to need, be used in varying pressure environments.
What can Pam Apex do that the others can’t?
Pam Apex is multi-function, they’re single function.
We can both crush and mix so that Pam Apex MIXER can pulverize lumps and clumps formed during the mixing process regardless of whether they’re formed wet or dry.
Pam Apex can do defibration mixing, others leave bulky fibers.
Quickly incorporate a small volume of additional powder uniformly into total mixture.
Dry mixing reactions facilitated by introducing hot air to the mixing process.
Granulation and liquid coating using binder liquids.
And much more!
The Pam Apex mixer secret to getting precise results in industry beating times
Pam Apex Mixing 
(Special PAM APEX Design) Shovel Blade
Suspension / Dispersion Mixing
Pam Apex Dispersion 
(Multi-Stage) Chopper Blade 
High Speed Shearing Dispersion
Shovel type blades
Three to eight aerodynamically designed originally designed plowshare shovel blades are arranged at regular intervals inside the mixer.
Materials are moved and agitated three-dimensionally by the suspension / dispersion function. This means that even materials with different particle diameters and gravities can be uniformly and efficiently mixed in just a short time.
Shovel blades
Saw-shaped shovels are used for adhesive / viscous / sticky powders, and flat shovels are used for powders that easy to separate.
Get to know our shovel blades;
(type utilized depends on customers’ mixing needs)
- Saw-shaped shovel blade
(for use with adhesive / viscous materials) - Half shovel blade
- Flat shovel blade
Chopper / Chopping Blades
An independently driven chopper can be installed in between the shovels.
The high rotation speeds of 1,800 to 3,600 rpm results in high-speed shearing of the powders and can also achieve:
- Defibrating / Breaking down of fibers
- Breaking up powder lumps / agglomerates
- Breaking up lumps caused by humidity / fluids
Our standard choppers are multi-stage impellers. Other styles of impeller choppers available.
- Flat type chopper
- Knife type chopper

Use as a drying machine!
By adding a heating jacket to the outside of the drum and making the inside into a vacuum a large you now have a large area to effectively and uniformly dry powder.
STRENGTHS;
- One Pam Apex Mixer fitted with a heating jacket can carry out this entire process:Mixing → liquid addition / coating → drying → cooling → crushing / breaking up
- Only uses about 1/10th to 1/20th of the hot air that conventional dryers use.
- The efficient homogenous mixing means no uneven drying.
- Crushes and separates lumps created during the drying process.
