PADDLE MIXER

How the Paddle Mixer works

A paddle mixer combines ingredients by moving them through a mixing chamber. In the configuration described on this page, a three-phase motor and gearbox drive the shaft; paddles on the shaft move and redistribute the batch. The objective is a consistent blend, but the result depends on the material, batch fill, paddle/shaft arrangement, ingredient sequence and mixing time. Those variables should be checked for the actual product rather than assumed from the machine name.

1. Ingredients are weighed and loaded in the agreed sequence and batch quantity.
2. The drive turns the shaft and paddles to move material through the chamber. If liquid flavour or another additive is used, its addition method and timing must suit the recipe and machine configuration.
3. The blend is assessed against the required result, then discharged using the supplied arrangement. Discharge design and cycle controls should be confirmed in the technical offer.

Main components and what they do

• Mixing chamber and structure: contains the batch during mixing. The current product listing describes a heavy-duty stainless-steel structure; the exact chamber design and contact surfaces are model-specific.
• Electric motor and gearbox: provide the drive for the mixing shaft. The page lists a three-phase motor and notes Crompton/ABB makes, plus Elecon, Padam, Premium or Classic gearbox makes. Final rating, make and duty are confirmed for the selected design.
• Shaft and paddles: move and redistribute ingredients. Geometry and arrangement are selected for the material and target blend; no universal mixing time or uniformity is promised.
• Electronic control panel: provides the agreed operator controls. Cycle functions and instrumentation depend on the confirmed scope.
• Loading, access and discharge: these details are not fully specified on the public page. Confirm opening/access arrangement, discharge type, seals and cleaning method in the drawing and quotation.

Construction and configuration

Thermocare’s current listing describes a stainless-steel structure, motor, gearbox, shaft and electronic control panel. It does not publish the steel grade, product-contact finish, seal details, chamber dimensions, motor rating or discharge design. These should be agreed in the approved technical quotation and drawing, especially where cleaning, ingredient contact or liquid additions matter.

Material suitability and sizing

The product examples already listed for this machine are namkeen, chips, pan masala, wheat flour, Kurkure and fryums. Suitability for a particular recipe depends on ingredient form, particle properties, bulk density, batch quantity, additives and required blend. Send representative material details; a sample or trial may be needed to assess the process. Capacity, output and cycle time must be confirmed for the selected configuration.

Buyer information

• Ingredient names, photographs and whether the feed is powder, granules, pieces or a combination.
• Batch quantity and expected batches per shift or hourly output.
• Any liquid/flavour addition, its quantity and how it is currently applied.
• The required blend result and how uniformity will be checked.
• Cleaning frequency, product-contact requirements and available electrical supply.
• Available floor space and the equipment before and after the mixer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a paddle mixer do?

It combines ingredients by moving them through a mixing chamber with a driven shaft and paddles. The intended blend and machine configuration should be matched to the actual recipe.

Which products are listed?

The current Thermocare page lists namkeen, chips, pan masala, wheat flour, Kurkure and fryums. These are examples, not a guarantee that every formulation is suitable.

How does it work?

A motor and gearbox drive the shaft; the paddles move and redistribute material in the chamber. Batch fill, material behaviour, paddle arrangement and ingredient sequence affect the result.

Can it mix powders and liquids?

The existing product page refers to powder and liquid ingredients. Whether a specific liquid can be added, and the method and timing of addition, must be checked against the recipe and supplied configuration.

What batch capacity is available?

No capacity figure is stated on this page. Share batch weight or volume, ingredient bulk density and target output so the appropriate working batch can be reviewed.

Which motor and gearbox are listed?

The page lists a three-phase motor and notes Crompton/ABB makes. It lists Elecon, Padam, Premium or Classic gearbox makes. The selected make, rating and duty are confirmed in the quotation.

Which construction details should I confirm?

Confirm steel grade, product-contact surfaces and finish, seals, access for cleaning, chamber dimensions, discharge arrangement and the approved drawing. The public listing does not specify all of these.

Can mixing time be guaranteed?

Not without evaluating the material and target. Ingredient properties, batch fill, loading sequence and mixing conditions matter; representative trials may be appropriate.

What information is needed for a quote?

Share ingredients and material form, batch quantity, required output and blend, any liquid additions, cleaning needs, available power and line-layout details.

Does Thermocare serve India and export?

Thermocare is based in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, and accepts enquiries from across India and for export. Enquiries from Delhi NCR, Lucknow, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and other locations are considered against project scope. City names indicate enquiry coverage, not local branch offices; export logistics and requirements are reviewed individually.
