About the Service

Chemical Plant & Engineering has developed a system where paddle technology may be retrofitted into existing mixer bodies to enhance mix time, accuracy, and throughput without the cost associated with a new mixer purchase.

Benefits of Retrofitting Your Mixer

Increased mix accuracy
Shorter time to uniform mix (as quick as 60s)
Higher mix repeatability (lower CV)
Maximised mixing capacity (throughput)
Energy savings

CPE paddle mixers offer significantly faster mixing, higher throughput, and lower energy consumption than ribbon blenders.

Ribbon Blender vs CPE Mixer

Mixer Type	RIBBON BLENDER	CPE High Efficiency Mixer
Fill	0.5 min	0.5 min
Mix	3.0 min	0.5 min
Empty	0.5 min	0.25 min
Total Time	4.0 min	1.25 min
Capacity	15 tonne/hour	42 tonne/hour

Example of Powder Mixer Retrofit

CPE retrofitted a single paddle system into the existing Ribbon Blender body used to produce for Animal Feed production.

	Existing – Ribbon Blender (2 tonne)	Retrofit – Retrofitted with CPE Single Paddle System
Production Capacity	18.5 tonnes/hour (i)	34 tonnes/hour
Mix Quality	CV = 12	CV = 5.6
Mix Time	4 minutes	1 minute
Dispense Time	2 minutes	2 minutes

Outcomes were as follows:

Mixing capacity increased by 80%
Reduced power consumption
CV improvement from 12 to 5.6
Minimum change to structure and utility interfaces
Improved liquid distribution across the batch
