Mixer for breakfast cereals
Does anyone have experience what is the best mixer for this purpose?
Problem is that products that should be mixed vary very much in density (corn flakes, oat flakes, raisins, candied pinneaple cubes...), also structure of corn flakes should not be damaged. For mixer, I think experience from mixing instant soups where you mix dry vegetable and powder ingredients could be useful.
So far we tried with cubical tumbler mixer and we are not happy with results.
We would like to start mixing flaked cereals and dried fruits for breakfast cereals like muesli.

Dear Milos,
When mixing cereals in line (not in Batch) "Horizontal motion blending systems" could be a solutions. As vibratory conveyors can damage products and structures as well as demix your blend. I have seen horizontal motion systems combined with blending drums, which are used to mix products like you described.
Using these system is depending on the production capacity and the way the raw materials are supplied.
