Mixing Equipment / HS
HS Series Laboratory Hopper Mixer for Food and Pharmaceutical Powder Blending
Model: HS
A laboratory hopper mixer provides a small-batch platform for formulation work and mixing-process development. 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
A small hopper is secured to the drive and rotated through a controlled blending cycle. Material is repeatedly divided and recombined as its orientation changes; a compatible interchangeable hopper can support separate trial batches.
Key Features
- Small-batch hopper format supports formulation trials.
- Hopper rotation divides and recombines dry ingredients.
- Trial size and sampling method guide scale-up discussions.
Suitable Materials
Dry powder and granule formulations requiring laboratory evaluation before production-scale equipment selection.
Explore our industry applications and discuss the behaviour of your actual material before equipment selection.
Applications
Use laboratory hopper blending to investigate powder-to-powder, powder-to-granule or granule-to-granule formulations before scale-up. Food, chemical and pharmaceutical development work each requires its own material and cleaning review.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HS mixer designed to do?
A laboratory hopper mixer provides a small-batch platform for formulation work and mixing-process development.
What information is needed for model selection?
Provide the smallest and largest trial batches, bulk density and particle-size distribution. Agree the sampling plan and blending endpoint, and assess hopper handling, cleaning and the relationship between laboratory results and production conditions.
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.
