Product Introduction

Conical Screw Mixer (Nauta Type)

High-Performance Low-Shear Batch Mixing for Powders, Pastes & Slurries

Gentle mixing that preserves particle integrity while achieving exceptional homogeneity.

Our Nauta Type Conical Screw Mixer is engineered for gentle, low-shear batch mixing of free-flowing, fragile, segregative powders, as well as pastes and slurries. It preserves particle integrity to the maximum while delivering exceptional mixing homogeneity, and features predictable scale-up from lab-scale trials to full production runs. Designed with a conical vessel and an orbiting cantilevered screw, this mixer ensures precise, energy-efficient blending and stands as a reliable solution for a wide spectrum of industrial powder and bulk solid processing applications.

Principle of Operation

This mixer is a convective low-shear batch mixer that integrates axial, radial and tangential flow to achieve thorough and precise homogenization:

  1. A rotating cantilevered screw conveys materials upward along the conical vessel wall;
  2. An orbiting arm drives the screw circumferentially around the cone;
  3. Gravity causes downward recirculation, forming a continuous, uniform mixing cycle with minimal shear;
  4. Materials are top-loaded via manual, big bag, pneumatic or mechanical systems;
  5. Screw runs at ~70 rpm, orbiting arm at 1–2 rpm, tip speed adjustable (0.5–2 m/s);
  6. Bottom discharge valve enables complete emptying for direct transfer to downstream processes.

Broad Process Flexibility

  • Gentle mixing: Free-flowing/segregative powders, pastes, slurries, liquid-powder blends
  • Powder humidification & coating: With intensifier for uniform liquid distribution
  • Granulation: Of bulk solids under controlled conditions
  • Temperature control: Heating or cooling during mixing
  • Drying: Atmospheric or vacuum drying (optional solvent recovery)
  • Live hopper function: Continuous feeding to fluid beds or extruders with optional back-mixing
