Batch mixing is the simplest mode of operation in mixing/ blending processes. The batch mixer is filled with ingredients, product mixing proceeds and when mixing is complete the vessel’s contents are emptied for downstream processing. The mixer is then cleaned and refilled for mixing another batch. In contrast, in continuous mixing or in-line applications, the ingredients are received continuously and discharged continuously. Most models of mixers and blenders can be used in batch mode.
In batch operations, the batch size is pre-determined (defined in engineering units of weight or volume) and entered into the batch controls. Ingredients are batched into the mixer in the correct proportion by feeders or some other type of up-stream equipment. The mixing goal (e.g., simple mixing through high shear emulsion) is predetermined and when mixing is complete the batch is discharged downstream. Each batch can be identified, an important quality factor in food processing.
