The octagonal mixing and seasoning machine utilizes the principle of rotation and mixing in an octagonal prismatic drum, making it a typical example of gentle mixing equipment in the food processing industry.

1. Multi-directional Tumbling: The octagonal prismatic structure breaks the circumferential inertia inherent in cylindrical drums. Driven by the drum walls, the material is lifted; due to the changing angles, once it reaches a certain height, the material slides down the prism faces in an irregular pattern, scattering and tumbling.
2. Gravity Fall: This design causes the material to continuously undergo a “lift-fall-lift” cycle within the drum, achieving thorough material exchange through the force of gravity.
3. Gentle Mixing: The entire mixing process occurs at low speeds without intense mechanical shear forces, effectively preserving the integrity of the material. It is particularly suitable for fragile puffed foods or fried meats, avoiding the material breakage issues that may result from traditional mixing methods.

Octagonal Mixing Tank

Constructed by pressing stainless steel sheets into an octagonal prism shape and welding them together. This is the core component of the equipment, and its unique shape is essential for ensuring efficient and uniform mixing. The inner walls of the tank are smooth with no dead corners, making it easy to clean.

Machine Frame and Base

Constructed from thickened stainless steel square tubing or sheet metal and welded together, the structure is robust and stable. The base features a fully enclosed design, housing a pure copper-wound motor, which ensures stability and durability during high-speed operation.

Drive System

Includes a gearmotor and gear or chain drive mechanisms. The gearmotor delivers smooth, powerful torque, ensuring reliable heavy-load startup and continuous operation with low noise levels.

Adjustment Mechanisms

• Tilt Angle Adjustment: An adjustment handle on the frame allows you to change the tilt angle of the drum. The greater the angle, the shorter the material’s residence time in the drum, and the faster the discharge rate.
• Speed Adjustment (Optional): Some models allow adjustment of the drum speed via a variable frequency drive to accommodate the mixing requirements of different materials.

Control and Discharge System

• Semi-Automatic Model: Equipped with a safety operating handle. By operating the handle, the motor’s forward and reverse rotation is controlled, tilting the drum to a specific angle to discharge the mixed material via gravity. The forward/reverse rotation function also helps achieve more uniform mixing.
• Fully Automatic Model: Equipped with a stainless steel, waterproof control panel. Built-in programs enable one-touch control of automatic forward rotation for mixing and automatic reverse rotation for discharge, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of the tilt angle and making operation smarter and easier.
