Nauta® Conical Screw Mixer

Nauta® Mixer – Conical Screw Mixer
The Nauta® conical screw mixer provides gentle, low-shear batch mixing of powders, pastes, and slurries while preserving particle integrity and achieving high homogeneity. Its conical vessel with a cantilevered, orbiting screw ensures precise, energy-efficient mixing and predictable scale-up from lab to production. Nauta® is the global benchmark for powder mixing technology.

The mixer handles free-flowing, fragile, or segregative powders with consistent quality at 15 to 100 percent fill levels. It can be configured for heating, cooling, drying including vacuum, and humidification. A bottom discharge valve ensures complete emptying, reducing manual handling and cross-contamination. Optional CIP or SIP cleaning and operation under vacuum or pressure increase flexibility.

Nauta mixers can also act as live hoppers, feeding downstream equipment such as fluid bed dryers. They are energy-efficient, fully ATEX-compliant, and available in sizes from 5 to 100,000 liters. Applications include chemicals, minerals, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, plastics, and specialty chemicals. Operators benefit from reliable performance, gentle handling of delicate products, and versatile process options that ensure consistent product quality.

Hosokawa Micron’s Nauta mixers combine innovation, sustainability, and efficiency, making them a trusted choice for industrial batch mixing around the world.
