Pan Mixers are a stationary circular pan with rotating blades or arms that mix the material. The mixing action is typically achieved by blades that rotate on a vertical axis, either by rotating the pan itself or the blades within a fixed pan.
What They Are Best Suited For Pan mixers are ideal for producing high-quality, uniform concrete, especially where precise control over the mix is important. They are particularly effective for stiff or semi-dry concrete mixes, such as those used in precast concrete production. They Load from above.
Most Common Applications (Compared to Drum Mixers) Used mainly in precast concrete plants, tile manufacturing, and laboratories where mix consistency is critical.
Preferred for smaller batch sizes with strict quality requirements Compared to drum mixers (tilt or reverse) They offer better mixing efficiency and faster mixing times, but are less suited for large-scale, high-volume jobs like ready-mix production or on-site concrete delivery,
Pan Mixers are the go-to option where precision and uniformity are more important than volume and mobility.
