The MIX S and MIX SV series are versatile mixers designed to handle medium to high-density products. Depending on whether ribbon or paddle shafts are used, these mixers are designed for processing finely and very finely chopped meat fillings, cheese fillings, and even animal feed.
Snack Stick Case Study
"Before we brought in BAK’s intermeshing paddle mixers, our equipment just couldn’t keep up with what snack sticks demand—the texture was soft, the ‘snap’ wasn’t there, and every batch felt like a gamble. Now, with proper protein extraction and fast, consistent mixing, we’re turning out firm, evenly colored snack sticks we’re proud of. The results gave us the confidence to refocus our portfolio around snack sticks and keep investing in additional mixing and grinding equipment across our plants—it’s reshaped our business." – Leadership team

What are the Series MIX S and MIX SV mixers designed for?
The Series MIX S and MIX SV mixers from BAK Food Equipment are advanced parallel twin shaft paddle or ribbon mixers engineered specifically for medium- and high-density food products. These mixers are built to deliver precise, consistent, and efficient mixing for a wide range of applications. The MIX S model is designed for standard mixing operations, while the MIX SV model incorporates a vacuum system capable of achieving up to 99% vacuum, which is particularly beneficial for processes that require enhanced protein extraction, improved liquid absorption, and the elimination of air bubbles prior to emulsification, filling, or forming.
What industries and products benefit most from twin shaft mixers?
Twin shaft mixers are highly versatile and serve a broad spectrum of industries. They are especially valuable in meat processing, cheese production, processed foods, and pet food manufacturing. The ability to handle finely and very finely chopped meat fillings, cheese fillings, and even animal feed makes these mixers a preferred choice for food processors seeking reliable and flexible solutions. The option to use either paddle or ribbon shafts further extends their suitability to different product textures and mixing requirements.
How do they improve efficiency and product quality?
The Series MIX S and MIX SV mixers are equipped with independently controlled parallel shafts, allowing operators to adjust both the speed and rotation direction of each shaft. This level of control ensures even distribution of ingredients and precise mixing, which directly translates to improved product consistency and quality. The vacuum functionality available in the MIX SV model enhances the mixing process by promoting better protein extraction, more uniform spice and additive distribution, and optimal density control. Additionally, the industrial-grade stainless steel construction, advanced programmable control panel, and easy-clean design contribute to operational efficiency, hygiene, and long-term durability, making these mixers a cornerstone of modern industrial food mixing operations.
Key Features and Options
What makes the MIX S/SV design unique?
The MIX S and MIX SV series from BAK Food Equipment stand out due to their parallel twin shaft configuration, which features either paddle or ribbon shafts positioned at the same height. This design allows for independent adjustment of each shaft’s speed and rotation direction, ensuring precise and flexible mixing for a wide range of medium to high-density products. The reinforced bowl and airtight top cover in the SV models enable up to 99% vacuum, which is critical for applications requiring enhanced protein extraction, improved liquid absorption, and the elimination of air bubbles prior to further processing. The fully welded, stainless steel construction not only ensures durability and longevity but also simplifies cleaning and maintenance, making these mixers ideal for demanding industrial environments.
How do the paddle/ribbon shaft options impact performance?
The choice between paddle and ribbon shafts directly influences the mixer’s performance and suitability for specific applications. Paddle shafts are particularly effective for gently blending products with varying particle sizes or delicate inclusions, ensuring even distribution without damaging the product. Ribbon shafts, on the other hand, are designed for more intensive mixing, making them ideal for finely or very finely chopped meat fillings, cheese blends, and similar products.
What features enhance efficiency, accuracy, and hygiene?
Efficiency, accuracy, and hygiene are at the core of the MIX S/SV series. Variable speed control allows operators to select gentle or aggressive mixing profiles as needed, optimizing both product quality and processing time. The advanced programmable control panel, featuring an intuitive touch screen, can store up to 100 custom recipes, each with adjustable parameters such as shaft speed, direction, and vacuum level. Integrated load cells provide real-time weighing accuracy, ensuring precise ingredient ratios and enabling automated batching for consistent output. The water dosage system automates the measurement and addition of liquids at programmed intervals, further enhancing batch consistency. Temperature monitoring and optional jacketed bowls (for cooling or heating) ensure thermal precision and product safety. The easy clean system, polished bowl and shaft surfaces, and fully welded construction all contribute to superior hygiene, reducing the risk of contamination and simplifying routine maintenance. These features collectively make the MIX S/SV series a leading choice for programmable food mixers, vacuum paddle mixers, stainless steel industrial mixers, and meat blending machines.
Sanitation, Safety, and Maintenance Features
How do these mixers simplify cleaning and maintenance?
BAK Food Equipment’s parallel twin shaft mixers are engineered with a strong focus on hygienic design and maintenance-friendly equipment.
