Screw Mixer For Dry Fruits And Multi Grain
70 to 150 kg batch of dry fruits and multi-grains, a Vertical Screw
Mixer (also known as a Conical Screw Mixer or Nauta Mixer) is the industry
standard.
Unlike horizontal ribbon blenders, the vertical screw is much gentler,
which is critical for dry fruits (almonds, cashews, raisins) to prevent them
from breaking or losing their natural shape during the mixing process.

2. Why it’s Ideal for Dry Fruits & Grains
- Low Shear
Mixing: The screw rotates on its own axis while orbiting the perimeter of
the cone.3 This lifts the material gently from the bottom
to the top without "crushing" fragile dry fruits.
- Total
Discharge: Because of the conical shape, 100% of the material is
discharged from the bottom. This prevents "cross-contamination"
when switching between different grain mixes.4
- Space
Efficient: Vertical mixers take up significantly less floor space than
horizontal mixers of the same capacity.5
- Easy to
Clean: The interior has no "dead corners," making it easy to
sanitize between batches of salted, roasted, or raw dry fruits.
Pro-Tip
for Multi-Grain Mixing
If your mix includes very fine powders (like masala or salt) along with
heavy grains and dry fruits, ensure the mixer has an Orbiting Arm. This
ensures that the fine powder doesn't just sit at the bottom but is evenly
distributed throughout the batch in less than 10–15 minutes.
