The Outstanding Application of Helical Mixer in Protein Powder Production

October 14, 2025

In the rapidly developing health industry, protein powder, as an important nutritional supplement, has become a part of the daily diet for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and the general public. The uniformity and safety of its production directly affect the final quality of the product and the health of consumers.

Protein powder is a powdered nutrient made from proteins extracted, concentrated, and dried from sources such as whey, soybeans, and peas. Its main characteristics include:

1. Fine powder

2. Difference in specific gravity

3. Prone to absorbing moisture and forming lumps

4. High uniformity and high requirements

These characteristics pose extremely high requirements for mixing equipment: it must achieve gentle, efficient, and seamless mixing, while eliminating stratification and lumps.

 

Working principle:

The screw mixer operates through an internally designed spiral belt mechanism. Once the equipment is started, the external spiral belt pushes the material from both ends towards the center, while the internal spiral belt transports the material from the center to both ends. These two opposing material flows within the machine create a triple mixing effect of convection, shearing, and diffusion, enabling the material to achieve a highly uniform mixture in a short period of time.

 

Key features:

1. Uniform and efficient mixing: 3-15 minutes per batch, with a uniformity of over 95%, quickly eliminating material stratification;

2. Wide material compatibility: Can handle powders, granules, and low-viscosity paste-like materials, with stable mixing of materials with small density differences;

3. Low residue and easy cleaning: Full-width door at the bottom for discharging, with little residue, smooth inner walls without dead corners, making cleaning convenient;

4. Expandable functions: Can be equipped with heating/cooling jackets, spray devices, etc., suitable for various production scenarios;

5. Stable operation and easy operation: Mature structure with low failure rate, parameters can be set, suitable for batch production.

Not only do we offer high-quality screw mixer machines, but we also possess strong capabilities in project planning, integration and delivery, enabling us to provide customers with the design and implementation of entire production lines from raw materials to finished products.

 

Take the protein powder production line that we successfully delivered to our Australian customers as an example. This production line includes:

Dust-free feeding station: As the starting point of the production line, it completely solves the problem of dust flying during manual feeding, creating a clean production environment for subsequent processes and protecting the health of employees.

Screw conveyor: It is responsible for stably and quantitatively transporting the raw materials from the feeding station horizontally to the next stage. The structure is simple and the operation is reliable.

Pneumatic vacuum feeding machine: Utilizing the principle of negative pressure, it efficiently and long-distance transports the materials through a sealed pipeline to the storage bin of the screw belt mixer. The entire process has no dust and no pollution, achieving the automated circulation of materials.

Screw belt mixer: It is responsible for precisely and evenly mixing various raw materials to ensure the core of product quality.

 

These devices are integrated and linked through our central control system, enabling an automated and intelligent production process from material feeding, transportation, mixing to packaging. This significantly enhances the production capacity and product consistency for customers, while reducing labor costs and operational risks.
