The German soccer legend Sepp Herberger once explained the quintessence of the game with the words: “The round must go into the square.” – At Seydelmann, the motto is now: It goes round in the square.
The Trolley Mixer, presented for the first time at IFFA 2025, enables products to be mixed directly in industry-standard square containers – the standard trolleys with 200 l or 300 l capacity. Different mixing arms are available for the machine, which either gently standardize products, mix them in a binding manner or knead them intensively. These can be inserted without tools using a quick-change system.
A combination of the movement of the rotating mixing arms and the trolley itself makes it possible to reach every angle in the angular trolley and ensure that the entire mix is reliably captured and mixed.
The use of a standard trolley as a mixing container offers many advantages. There is no need for time-consuming transfer – often by hand – which contains the risk of product contamination. Downstream production machines, such as fillers or portioners, can be loaded with the same trolley using lifting and tipping devices that are usually already in place. In addition, standard trolleys are significantly cheaper than the round mixing containers of comparable machines and require significantly less storage space for the same internal volume.
The Trolley Mixer relies on the use of existing equipment and thus contributes to cost reduction in production.
