Sanitary Double Arm Mixers

Model DLK-50 Sanitary Mixer Shown. Click for additional information on Sanitary Mixers.

The Orbis Machinery mixer extruder incorporates the performance of a double arm mixer with the added convenience of an auger for discharging. While mixing, the auger rotates in reverse to aid in the mixing process. When the mixing cycle is complete, the auger is reversed and materials are conveyed through the discharge barrel (located in the lower section of the bowl) into a discharge die that can feed downstream equipment.
