Our proven sanitary design provides a superior uniform mix complemented by a robust construction. Over 16 standard models are available from 7 to 476 cu. ft. (3/4 full).

Mixing is accomplished using either a ribbon or paddle agitator. The S. Howes Double-Ribbon Agitator, with the original reverse-spiral design, delivers uniform, high-capacity blending at low power cost. The mix is held in constant suspension, providing an excellent uniform product mix. Paddle assemblies mix using a tumbling motion and have less product shearing during the process. Used by many of the World’s leading pharmaceutical and food companies, S. Howes’ blenders produce a superior uniform and consistent mix.

Details of Standard Sanimix 45 Construction (assumes 45 lbs./cu.ft. bulk density material)

  • All Stainless Steel construction, including tank, agitator assembly, and support legs (optional) – ideal for sanitary applications.
  • Tank heads include generously formed-radius corners (¾” minimum), eliminating 90-degree angles to provide for easy cleanout.
  • Uniquely designed double ribbon type agitator assembly features ribbons welded to cross-arms. Paddle agitators feature paddles that can be welded or bolted to cross-arms for adjustability.
  • Agitator assemblies are constructed with machined flange journals for top removal, thereby reducing cleaning problems typical of traditional bolted tank heads requiring end removal.
  • All internal welds are ground smooth and are crack and crevice-free. Butt welds are ground flush, and corner welds are ground to a radius of at least 1/8”. External welds are intermittent, with gaps sealed with Devcon (or equivalent).
  • Inverted pillow block shaft bearings are hung from a covered shelf to minimize horizontal surfaces where cleaning agents can build up. Build-up of product on bearings is minimized as well.

Details of Standard Sanimix 80 Construction (assumes 80 lbs./cu.ft. bulk density material)

  • All Stainless Steel construction including tank, agitator assembly, and support legs (optional) – ideal for sanitary applications.
  • Tank heads include generously formed-radius corners (¾” minimum), eliminating 90 degree angles to provide for easy cleanout.

  • Inverted pillow block shaft bearings are hung from a covered shelf to minimize horizontal surfaces where cleaning agents can build up. Build-up of product on bearings is minimized as well.
  • Shafting materials are made heavier and can carry up to 60% more horsepower than Sanimix-45 models.
  • Class II Drive is standard for Sanimix-80 models.
