Watch>>>Mixing Powder Paint and Pigment Blends in the Rollo-Mixer
Industrial Mixer - Mixing Powder Paint and Pigment Blends in the Continental Rollo-Mixer ® Industrial Mixer.  Continental's Technical Dir. explains Continental's Technical Dir. explains how, why and where the Rollo-Mixer®, is used in the powder paint and pigment industries for accurate blends to meet spectrometer levels

Pigment & Colorant Samples made with Rollo-Mixers®
Pigments and paints made in the Rollo-Mixer are usually powders, pellets, or both.  Powder paint pre-mixes, powdered food dyes, and highway paints all have to be evenly mixed. Powder coatings must be uniform as they electrostatically flow to form their final coating.  Automotive pigment pellet blends must have the exact amount of desired pigment, for the proper dashboard or armrest color when extruded. 

Recommended Rollo-Mixers^® for Pigment & Colorant Products:

Mk VII Rollo-Mixer® Drum Blender
The Mk VII is a drum blender designed for gentle/uniform mixing and blending applications with pellets, granules and powders used in many large scale plastics and petrochemical applications for gentle batch blending consistency. An enclosed turbine section allows for larger particles and pellets to flow unimpeded. The largest Mk VII made has 1,286 cu ft of working load volume and blends 65,000 lbs in 3 minutes uniformly.

The Mk VII design is ideal for: plastic pellets, HDPE pellets, vinyl composite floor tile cubes, industrial detergents, catalysts, fluoropolymers, plastic additives, specialty compounds, granular ag chem products, and others.

Mk VIII Rollo-Mixer® Dry Blender
The Mk VIII Rollo-Mixer® is a dry blender designed for uniformly blending dry food grade powders vitamins, nutraceuticals, sports drink powders and dietary supplement powders. Data shows the Mk VIII Rollo-Mixer® to be one of the best dry powder blenders for mixing supplement and food powders. It has been setting high standards in the contract manufacturing and dietary supplement industries for many years now. Tests have proven and results have shown the Mk VIII to be superior for uniformity, clean-out and overall efficiency than typically used dry powder blenders in those industries such as V, cone, and ribbon or paddle blenders.

This Mk VIII design is excellent for high purity batch mixing applications, where cleanout and easy access are critical for quick product change, such as: nutritional powders, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, powdered drink mixes, supplement powders, and other food grade powders.
