Some materials simply demand more from the mixing process.

Higher viscosity.

Greater resistance.

Tighter consistency requirements.

That’s where Sigma Mixers are built to perform.

Designed for demanding industrial applications, Sigma Mixers provide the mixing action needed for materials that conventional mixing systems often struggle to process efficiently.

Because when the material becomes more challenging, the equipment becomes even more important.

More power alone doesn’t solve a mixing problem.

The entire drive system has to work together.

For this 350 gallon sigma mixer upgrade, Orbis Machinery replaced the existing drive with:

⚙️ 150 horsepower motor
⚙️ 6:1 ratio gearbox
⚙️ Variable frequency drive controls
⚙️ Custom fabricated transition plates

The upgraded system gives the customer adjustable blade speed control while improving mixing performance for a demanding high-viscosity application.

After fabrication, the machine was fully wired, tested, and prepared for shipment.

Because in heavy-duty mixing applications, consistency starts with the right combination of torque, speed, and control.

Bad mix consistency usually isn’t random.

In many high-viscosity applications, the real issue is that the mixer simply isn’t generating enough blade speed or shear to process the material effectively.

That’s exactly what this customer was experiencing.

The blades were mixing too slowly, and the product wasn’t reaching the consistency they needed.

So Orbis Machinery upgraded this 350 gallon sigma mixer with:

• 150 horsepower replacement drive
• 6:1 ratio gearbox

• Variable frequency drive control cabinet
• Adjustable blade speed control
• Custom fabricated transition plates

The entire system was then wired, tested, and prepared for shipment.

Because in demanding mixing applications, consistency starts with the right drive system.

Process development depends on more than mixing power.

Control matters too.

The DKL-4 laboratory mixer is designed to give operators direct control over key mixing parameters during testing and formulation development.

This configuration includes:

• Integrated emergency stop system
• Direction selection controls
• Variable speed adjustment
• Real-time RPM monitoring
• Live amperage feedback during operation

Because understanding how the material responds during mixing is just as important as the final blend itself.

The more visibility teams have into the process, the more confidently they can evaluate formulations before scaling production.

Some materials look manageable - until viscosity starts increasing.

That’s when standard mixing setups begin reaching their limits.

The DKL-4 laboratory mixer is designed for process development and material evaluation across a wide range of viscosities, from moderate formulations to much more demanding materials.

In this application, the system is configured for moderate-viscosity mixing.
But the platform can also be built for significantly tougher materials, including rubber-based applications that require more demanding mixing performance.

Because process development isn’t just about today’s formulation.

It’s about preparing for where the application is going next.

What works in a small test batch doesn’t always survive production conditions.

That’s why process validation matters before scaling.

The DKL-4 laboratory mixer is designed to help manufacturers evaluate formulations, understand material behavior, and refine mixing performance before committing to production equipment.

This lab-scale system features:

• 4-quart working capacity
• Integrated onboard controls
• Speed and direction adjustment
• Vacuum and purge ports
• Safety sensor lid system
• 316 stainless product contact
• Polycarbonate lid for visibility during mixing

In this application, the mixer is configured for food processing materials in the moderate-viscosity range.

Because once production starts, changing the process becomes significantly more expensive.

A blend that performs well in testing can behave very differently once production begins.

That’s where many powder processing problems start.

Teams often move directly into larger production equipment, only to realize the material doesn’t behave the way they expected under real operating conditions.

Clumping.
Separation.
Inconsistent batches.

And the first reaction is usually:

👉 Increase power
👉 Change equipment
👉 Push the process harder

But power doesn’t solve a poor blend.

The CTB1-17 cone tumble blender helps manufacturers evaluate powder interaction, validate blend uniformity, and better understand material behavior before committing to larger production systems.

Because once production begins, correcting blend inconsistency becomes significantly more expensive.

Mixing is only half the job.

Getting the product out matters just as much.

This system includes reverse blade operation to assist with product removal after mixing and support efficient downstream processing.

Because production depends on flow - not just mixing.

A powder blend that looks consistent in testing can behave very differently once production starts.

That’s where many scaling problems begin.

The CTB1-17 cone tumble blender is designed to help manufacturers evaluate powder behavior, validate blend uniformity, and better understand how materials interact before committing to larger production systems.

From steel powders to food ingredients to pigments, controlled tumble blending helps teams identify variability early - before it impacts consistency, throughput, or downstream processing.

This lab-scale system supports:

• Controlled, repeatable powder blending
• Small-batch material evaluation
• Blend validation before scaling
• Reduced material waste during testing

Because once production begins, correcting blend inconsistency becomes significantly more expensive.
