Double Planetary Mixers by PerMix: Versatility That Meets the Needs of Today and Tomorrow

In the fast-evolving world of manufacturing, versatility is more than a benefit — it’s a necessity. From pharmaceutical formulations to food production, chemical blending to cosmetic compounding, the demands placed on processing equipment are higher than ever. That’s where the PerMix Double Planetary Mixer steps in — a solution engineered to deliver precision, flexibility, and performance across a wide range of industries.

What Is a Double Planetary Mixer?

The Double Planetary Mixer features two mixing blades that rotate on their own axes while simultaneously orbiting around the mixing vessel. This dual-action motion ensures thorough mixing of high-viscosity materials, pastes, slurries, and powders, achieving excellent homogeneity without dead zones.

But what makes PerMix’s Double Planetary Mixer stand out is its adaptability.
