Mixing Equipment / CH
CH Series Trough Mixer for Food and Pharmaceutical Powder Blending
Model: CH
A trough mixer uses a mechanical agitator in a horizontal vessel for batch mixing of compatible powders or damp masses. Assess this powder mixer as part of the complete mixing equipment scope, with representative dry blending and granule blending trials to check uniformity and handling after discharge.
Working Principle
The agitator moves material through the trough, exchanging material between different parts of the batch. This active mixing method should be matched to the resistance, consistency and handling needs of the formulation.
Key Features
- A driven agitator exchanges material along a horizontal trough.
- Active mixing can address compatible powders or damp masses.
- Drive, sealing and discharge design depend on mixture resistance.
Suitable Materials
- Powders and damp mixtures that are compatible with the selected agitator and trough configuration. Sticky or high-resistance materials require assessment of torque, buildup and discharge.
- Confirm the actual material properties, moisture or solvent content, temperature sensitivity and target product condition before selecting the configuration.
Applications
Consider trough mixing for preparation of suitable powder batches or damp masses. Review mixture consistency, agitator load and discharge behaviour before integrating the mixer into the next processing step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CH mixer designed to do?
A trough mixer uses a mechanical agitator in a horizontal vessel for batch mixing of compatible powders or damp masses.
What information is needed for model selection?
Specify moisture level, viscosity or consistency, batch mass and required finish. Confirm drive selection, contact materials, shaft sealing, cleaning access and the actual discharge arrangement; do not assume a tilting vessel unless included in the selected design.
How should mixing performance be evaluated?
Agree the formulation, batch size, sampling procedure and acceptable variation before a trial. Evaluate the discharged blend as well as the material in the vessel, because subsequent handling can affect segregation.
Selection and Configuration
For a configuration review, send the material name, bulk density, particle-size distribution, moisture level, batch mass and required blending endpoint. Working volume, drive rating, contact materials, sealing and discharge details are confirmed for the selected configuration; no numerical model rating is implied by this overview.

Application Review: Food and Pharmaceutical Powder Blending
Define the ingredients, particle-size distribution, working fill and sampling method for the proposed blend. Check uniformity after discharge as well as within the vessel.
For pharmaceutical process evaluation, consult FDA process validation guidance.
For pharmaceutical cleaning requirements, consult the FDA equipment and cleaning questions.
For food ingredients, review the Codex food hygiene and HACCP framework when defining hygienic handling.
Review the actual powder characteristics using the HSE safe handling of combustible dusts.
Include moving-part access in the installation review using HSE work equipment and guarding guidance.
