Contra Mixer

At Align Industry, we manufacture advanced Contra Mixers engineered for effective mixing, blending, and homogenizing of viscous materials. With their unique dual agitator system, our Contra Mixers are widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing, chemicals, and adhesives industries. The contra-rotating blades ensure uniform product consistency, smooth textures, and faster processing, making Align Industry a trusted choice for high-performance mixing solutions.

  • Powerful dual motor design with low noise emission.
  • The mixing bowl can rotate in either direct

What is a Contra Mixer?

A Contra Mixer is a specialized mixing machine equipped with two agitators rotating in opposite directions. Typically, one agitator is a slow-moving anchor that scrapes and folds the material, while the other is a fast-moving agitator or disperser that breaks lumps and disperses ingredients evenly.

This contra motion ensures thorough mixing, even for high-viscosity materials, and produces smooth, homogeneous products. Contra Mixers are widely used for creams, gels, lotions, adhesives, emulsions, and food pastes where uniformity and texture are critical.

Key Features of Align Industry Contra Mixers

  • Dual Agitation System – Anchor and disperser rotate in opposite directions for complete mixing.
  • Versatility – Handles both low and high viscosity products efficiently.
  • Temperature Control – Jacketed vessels for heating or cooling sensitive formulations.
  • Vacuum Operation – Option to operate under vacuum to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Hygienic Design – Built with stainless steel contact parts for product safety.
  • Durability – Heavy-duty construction ensures long-lasting performance.
  • Easy Maintenance – Simple cleaning and smooth operation with minimal downtime.

Applications of Contra Mixers

Align Industry Contra Mixers are widely applied across multiple sectors:

  • Pharmaceuticals – Creams, ointments, gels, suspensions, syrups.

Advantages of Using Align Industry Contra Mixers

  • Superior Homogenization – Produces lump-free and uniform products.
  • Efficient for Viscous Materials – Ideal for thick creams, gels, and pastes.
  • Customizable – Available in different sizes and configurations for lab or industrial use.
  • Vacuum & Jacket Options – Ensures air-free and temperature-controlled mixing.
  • Time & Cost Saving – Reduces mixing time compared to conventional mixers.

How Contra Mixers Work

The Contra Mixer uses a dual mixing principle:

  • The anchor agitator rotates slowly, scraping the sides and folding the product.
  • The high-speed agitator rotates in the opposite direction, dispersing and homogenizing ingredients.

This counter-rotating motion ensures that materials from all areas of the mixing vessel are evenly blended, preventing dead zones and ensuring consistency.

In advanced models, a bottom homogenizer can be added for emulsification, making Contra Mixers a complete solution for mixing and homogenizing.
