This Hosokawa Nauta DC 600 is a conical mixer — also known as a Nauta mixer — a type of blender and mixer designed to homogenise powders, granules, and pastes within a stationary conical vessel using a rotating, cantilevered screw. Hosokawa Nauta is a well-established Dutch manufacturer with a long history of producing high-quality mixing and blending equipment for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and plastics industries.
The machine has a total volume and working capacity of 600 litres, housed within a stainless steel conical vessel measuring 1,300 mm at its largest diameter and standing 1,560 mm in cone height. The overall installed height is 3,000 mm, and the unit occupies a floor space of approximately 2.5 × 1.3 metres. It is mounted on legs, giving clear access beneath the cone.
The mixer features a top-drive configuration with a cantilevered screw and a stainless steel arm, which orbits the interior wall of the cone to ensure thorough, gentle blending with minimal dead zones. The vessel is fitted with a jacket rated to a working pressure of 2 bar, making it suitable for temperature-controlled processes — relevant for heat-sensitive materials or applications requiring controlled cooling or heating. A double-cone construction is noted, and the unit is described as suitable for liquid and paste applications in addition to dry blending duties.
The drive motor is rated at 7.5 kW and is configured for 400/600 volt supply. The vessel is equipped with two manholes for inspection and cleaning access, and bottom discharge is provided through a 65 mm diameter outlet. The listing is located in Barneveld, Netherlands, and the machine dates from 1992. It is offered in used condition and includes a quantity of spare parts.
