This Kurt Schneider Maschinenbau GmbH machine is a planetary mixer and blender — sometimes referred to as a planetary blender — a type of mixing equipment used in laboratory, food, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing applications where precise, thorough blending and kneading of small-batch materials is required. Kurt Schneider Maschinenbau GmbH is a German manufacturer specialising in mixing and blending machinery, supplying equipment to industries that demand hygienic construction standards and controlled mixing conditions.
This is a used example from 2012, currently located in Barneveld, Netherlands, and carries the machine designation SVPM 2, serial number 100658. The machine is constructed entirely from stainless steel, making it suitable for applications requiring clean and corrosion-resistant contact surfaces.
The mixing bowl has a gross volume of 2.3 litres with a net working capacity of 1.5 litres. The unit is supplied with two pans, each measuring 145 mm in diameter by 130 mm in depth, one of which is a jacketed (double-walled) pan for temperature-controlled mixing. This jacketed pan allows heating or cooling of the product during the mixing process. The working pressure of the machine is 0.2 bar, and the design also permits vacuum operation, giving the operator the ability to mix under reduced-pressure conditions when the process demands it.
The machine features two mixing and kneading shafts arranged in a planetary configuration, meaning the shafts orbit around the bowl centre while also rotating on their own axes, ensuring thorough and even coverage of the entire bowl volume. A scraper is also fitted, which keeps material from building up on the bowl walls during operation. Variable speed drive allows the mixing and kneading arms to be adjusted across a range of 100 to 1200 rpm, giving precise control over mixing intensity. Mechanical lifting is included, operating at a lift rate of 1.3 metres per minute, facilitating safe and controlled raising and lowering of the mixing pans.
The machine's footprint is 0.7 metres by 0.7 metres, with a total installed height of 1.5 metres. A switchgear panel is incorporated into the unit. The machine is offered in used condition.
