🔹 Types of PerMix Powder Induction Mixers

The four types of PerMix Powder Induction Mixers share a similar working principle but feature distinct structural differences to suit specific processing needs:

🔹 (1) PT-C/Q – Double Wall Design Powder Induction Mixer

The PT-C/Q Powder Induction Mixer, also known as a Tri-Blender, is the most common model. It consists of two core components: a casing pipe and a stator-rotor system. The casing pipe is built vertically and coaxially into the rotor-stator inlet, creating a double-wall design that prevents premature contact between powder and liquid—eliminating lumps before both enter the mixing chamber.

As the rotor spins at high speed, a water ring forms inside the chamber. This generates a vacuum at the center, drawing powder from the hopper above. A valve at the hopper base regulates the powder’s flow rate. Once inside, the powder is instantly wetted and dispersed by turbulence, then subjected to high shear mixing as it passes through the precise rotor-stator clearance.

Various stator-rotor combinations are available to match different processing needs—from high shear homogenization to gentle wetting. In some cases, a standard centrifugal pump impeller is used instead of a rotor-stator pair for higher flow rates and powder induction performance.

🔹 (2) PT-C/Y – Special Stator-Rotor Powder Induction Mixer

The PT-C/Y series features a specially designed rotor-stator system that works similarly to a water ring pump, creating a relatively high vacuum. This allows the mixer to draw powder through a hand-held wand from bags or containers on the floor. Alternatively, powder can be gravity-fed from a vertical hopper at a higher suction rate. This model is ideal for ergonomic, flexible operations in a variety of processing environments.

🔹 (3) PT-C/F – Dual Pump Design Powder Induction Mixer

The PT-C/F Powder Induction Mixer combines a self-priming pump with an inline homogenizing mixer. The self-priming pump draws liquid from an external source and passes it through a venturi pipe located beneath a powder hopper. This setup creates vacuum pressure, pulling powder from above into the mixing stream.

The powder-liquid mixture first passes through the self-priming pump, then enters the inline high shear mixer for further homogenization and dispersion—ideal for continuous powder-liquid processing.

🔹 (4) PCH – Shear Pump for Powder Induction

The PCH Shear Pump can be adapted into a powder induction system by attaching a hopper at the liquid inlet. This setup works especially well for dry, free-flowing powders such as milk powder or flour. Thanks to its compact, hygienic design and full stainless steel construction, the PCH model is widely used in the food, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries.

Despite its simplicity, the PCH Shear Pump delivers strong suction performance and consistent mixing results—making it a reliable and efficient solution for various powder-liquid blending tasks.
