Vertical mixer for meat seasoning · Dust-free feeding · Automated mixing & screening
1. Project Background
In Russia, demand for sausages, smoked meats and processed meat products remains strong, and the market is increasingly focused on flavor consistency and hygiene.
Traditional spice preparation for sausages often relies on:
Manual weighing and dumping of spices;
Small stand-alone mixers with limited capacity;
Open feeding and handling, leading to high dust levels and inconsistent mixing.
These methods not only create a dusty working environment and high labor intensity, but also make it difficult to keep seasoning ratios and mixing uniformity stable from batch to batch – directly affecting the final sausage flavor.
For this project, our Russian customer decided to install a dedicated spice mixing line for meat marination, aiming to:
Standardize the entire pre-processing of sausage seasoning – from dust-free feeding, mixing, to screening – with a highly automated, dust-controlled solution.

Automated process flow to reduce manual handling and improve efficiency.
3. Our Solution (Process Flow & Equipment Configuration)
Based on the customer’s plant layout, process requirements and existing upstream dosing system, we supplied a complete:
Dust-Free Feeding → Vertical Mixing → Screening → Finished Spice Discharge
automatic spice mixing and screening line for sausage seasoning.
(1) Dust-Free Feeding System
A dust-free feeding station is installed for bag opening and raw material input;
Local extraction and dust collection capture spice dust generated when bags are opened and emptied, returning collected material into the product stream;
This significantly reduces dust escape at the feeding point, improves operator working conditions and minimizes material loss.
(2) Vertical Mixer – Dedicated to Sausage Seasoning
A vertical mixer is used as the core mixing unit, ideal for blending multi-component spice mixtures with different particle sizes and densities;
The mixing flow pattern creates a strong vertical circulation of material, giving good movement to:
Coarser particles (e.g., pepper granules, herb flakes);
Finer spice powders and salt;
Internal walls feature rounded corners and a bottom design with minimal dead zones, reducing residual seasoning and cross-contamination between recipes.
(3) Automated Screening & Finished Product Handling
After mixing, the seasoning is automatically fed to the screening unit;
Oversized particles, foreign bodies or agglomerates are removed, leaving a uniform particle size distributionsuitable for even coverage and dispersion in meat;
Depending on the customer’s process, the screened seasoning can be:
Directly transferred to the sausage production area; or

TÜV Rheinland CE certified · 5 minutes per batch · High-efficiency mixing with full flavor retention
1. Project Background
In Italy, manufacturers of flavored food powders, essential-oil-based blends and functional nutrition powders place very high demands on both flavor retention and mixing efficiency.
Traditional general-purpose mixers often struggle in this application:
Essential oils are not evenly dispersed – some particles are overly “oily”, while others have almost no aroma;
Long mixing times cause batch-to-batch variation and limit throughput;
Open or poorly sealed designs promote aroma loss and make cleaning more difficult.
This Italian customer wanted to upgrade to a mixer dedicated to “powder with essential oil addition”, and clearly specified:
The mixer must be CE certified by TÜV Rheinland, achieve about 5 minutes per batch, and maximize retention of essential oil flavor and activity while delivering high efficiency.
2. Customer Profile & Application
