The Linden LPM-3 is a planetary mixer and blender — sometimes referred to as a planetary blender — a type of machine used in laboratory, pharmaceutical, food processing, and chemical applications to mix, blend, or knead materials to a uniform consistency. Linden is a Dutch manufacturer known for producing precision mixing equipment serving industries where controlled, homogeneous blending is essential.
This is a used machine dating from 1989, located in Barneveld, the Netherlands. It is constructed from stainless steel with coated components, making it suitable for applications where hygiene and durability are priorities. The unit carries serial number 1465 and is listed internally by the seller as type LPM 5.
The mixer is fitted with two mixing and kneading shafts operating on the planetary principle, meaning the shafts orbit around the bowl axis while simultaneously rotating on their own axes, ensuring thorough coverage of the entire bowl volume. The mixer speed is 94 rpm, while the kneading arms operate at 235 rpm. The working capacity is 6 litres, with the mixing pan measuring 230 mm in diameter by 150 mm deep. The pan is included with the machine.
The unit is equipped with a heating or cooling jacket, allowing temperature-controlled processing. A mechanical lifting mechanism is fitted to raise and lower the pan, and the machine includes a vacuum pump — specifically a Vacuubrand MD 4T, rated at a pumping speed of 3.3 m³/h and capable of reaching a final pressure of 2 mbar — enabling vacuum mixing for applications that require the exclusion of air or moisture from the mix. Electrical switchgear and a control switch are also present.
The overall footprint of the machine is 0.85 × 0.85 metres, with a total installed height of 1.7 metres.
