Our intensive mixer is a synonym for optimal mixing technology

The Eirich intensive mixer is known throughout the world. It replaced the ring trough mixer (1906) and the planetary mixer (1924), and over the course of its continuous further development it has become a synonym for optimal mixing technology.

Eirich's unique mixing principle 

The outstanding feature of the EIRICH intensive mixer is that it separates the transportation of the mix from the actual mixing process. This results in numerous process design advantages which make Eirich intensive mixers unique throughout the world and have led to them being used in over 300  different industry branches. The mixing pan can be arranged either horizontally or at an optimized angle of inclination to suit the particular requirements. 

Advantages of the EIRICH mixer

  • Higher tool speeds can be used to:
    - optimally solubilize fibers
    - completely pulverize pigments
    - optimize mixing of fine fractions
    - manufacture suspensions with a high solid content

  • Medium tool speeds are used to
    -  achieve mixtures with a high mixture quality

  • At lower tool speeds
    - lightweight additives or foams can be gently added to the mixture

In contrast to other mixing systems, the throughput rate and mixing intensity of Eirich intensive batch mixers can be adjusted independently of each other.

  • The mixing tool can run at variable speeds from fast to slow
  • This allows the power input into the mixture to be adapted to the specific mix
  • Hybrid mixing processes are made possible e.g. slow – fast – slow
  • Higher tool speeds can be used for example to:
    - optimally solubilize fibers
    - completely pulverize pigments, optimize mixing of fine fractions
    - manufacture suspensions with a high solid content
  • Medium tool speeds are used to achieve mixtures with a high mixture quality
  • At low tool speeds, lightweight additives or foams can be gently added to the mixture


The mixer mixes without separating the mixture; 100 % material agitation during each revolution of the mixing pan. Eirich intensive batch mixers are available in two series with a usable volume ranging from 1 to 12,000 liters.

In contrast to other mixing systems, the throughput rate and mixing intensity of Eirich continuous intensive mixers can be adjusted independently of each other. In the process,

  • the variable rotating speed of the mixing tools
  • the variable rotating speed of the mixing pan
  • the exact adjustment of the material dwell period during the mixing process


offer particular advantages for the overall result. Even during startup of the mixing processes, the system ensures that no material which is unmixed or only partially mixed leaves the mixer.

Eirich intensive mixers can be designed to allow operation under vacuum. The vacuum mixer series incorporates all the advantages of the intensive mixer but enables additional process technological steps to be performed in one machine. Such as

  • Deaeration
  • Drying
  • Cooling or
  • Heat removal from exothermal reactions


Technologies for

  • Molding sand
  • Lead paste compounds for batteries
  • High-density granulates
  • Aqueous slurries or slurries containing solvents
  • Metalliferous sludges
  • Friction linings
  • Soaps

Vacuum mixers are available with a usable volume ranging from 1  to 7000 liters.

Evacmix®
is a system for processes in which deaeration is used to achieve compounds with a particularly high density.

EVACTHERM®
is a system for thermal and reactive processes which has been very successful at a global level.

SAPONIFLEX®
is a compact system which offers exceptional flexibility and efficiency in the manufacturing of soaps.  

Application examples

  • High-quality concrete
  • Dry mortar and plaster
  • Lithium-ion batteries
  • Ceramics
  • Foundry sand
  • Fertilizer
  • Friction lining 
  • Refractories
  • Carbon paste
  • And many more
