About this machine

The Engelsmann KSM-9 CBM is a mixer and blender — sometimes referred to as a bulk mixer or industrial blending vessel — used for the thorough mixing and homogenising of powders, granules, and bulk solids in industrial processing applications. Engelsmann is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing handling and processing equipment for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, including sieving, conveying, and mixing machinery.

This particular machine is a conical screw mixer, also known as a Nauta-style mixer, in which a rotating screw orbits the inside of a conical or cylindrical vessel to achieve gentle yet thorough blending with minimal product degradation. The unit carries serial number 10 562 and was manufactured in 1985. It is located in Barneveld, Netherlands, and is offered in used condition.

The vessel is constructed from stainless steel grade 1.4541 (AISI 321), a stabilised austenitic alloy well suited to process environments requiring corrosion resistance and temperature stability. The total vessel volume is 12,000 litres, with a useful working capacity of 9,000 litres. The vessel dimensions are 2,100 mm in diameter by 5,050 mm in height, the machine occupies a floor footprint of 2.2 × 2.2 metres, and the total installed height is 6.5 metres, making it a tall, vertical unit requiring adequate headroom.

Access is provided via a 500 mm diameter manhole, and the inlet is 150 mm in diameter. The mixing shaft operates at two selectable speeds of 3 and 6 RPM, allowing the process to be adapted to the sensitivity or flow characteristics of the material being blended. The drive motor is rated at 11/16 kW and runs on 500 Volt supply; notably, the motor carries an Ex designation, indicating it is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

The screw is jacketed, with a jacket volume of 120 litres, enabling temperature control of the product during mixing through a heating or cooling medium. The vessel operates at a working pressure of 4 bar, with a test pressure of 5.2 bar, confirming its suitability for pressurised processing conditions.
