End-to-End Material Movement for Uniform Blending

Ribbon agitators use helical ribbon flighting to continuously move material through the mixing chamber. The ribbon design promotes both radial and end-to-end movement, helping create a consistent blend throughout the mixer.

Best For:

Powders • Granules • Dry ingredients • Premixes • Feed ingredients • Bulk solids

Key Benefits:

• Strong end-to-end material movement
• Consistent blending throughout the mixer
• Effective for powders and dry bulk materials
• Available in sanitary configurations
• Heavy-duty construction for industrial applications

Scott’s existing agitator information notes close-wrapped designs, sanitary construction, and optional air-purge configurations.

Gentle, Efficient Mixing with Easy Cleanout

Paddle agitators use strategically positioned blades to lift, tumble, and move material through the mixer. The open agitator design provides efficient mixing while offering easier access and cleanout than more complex agitator configurations.

Best For:

Pellets • Granules • Fragile ingredients • Food products • Feed • Coarse materials

Key Benefits:

• Gentle product handling
• Open design for easier cleaning
• Adjustable and replaceable paddles available
• Good access around the agitator
• Sanitary designs available

Scott currently offers polished sanitary paddle designs up to 3A Dairy Standard.

Designed for Fibrous and Difficult-to-Mix Materials

Serrated paddles provide additional material interaction compared with a standard flat paddle. The paddle profile helps work through fibrous or difficult materials while maintaining the benefits of paddle-style mixing.

Best For:

Fibrous materials • Agricultural products • Organic materials • Coarse ingredients • Difficult bulk solids

Key Benefits:

• Increased interaction with fibrous materials
• Promotes material movement
• Helps separate and distribute difficult products
• Heavy-duty construction
• Custom configurations available

Your Twin Shaft page already identifies serrated paddles as an option for fibrous materials, so this is a good internal-linking opportunity.

Controlled Mixing for Dense and Bulk Materials

T-paddle agitators use a broad paddle profile to lift and move material through the mixing chamber. The design provides controlled mixing action for applications where effective material movement and gentle handling are important.

Best For:

Bulk solids • Granules • Dense materials • Food ingredients • Minerals • Industrial powders

Key Benefits:

• Controlled material movement
• Gentle mixing action
• Handles dense bulk materials
• Durable, simple design
• Custom configurations available
