Powder Blending
Alphie 2 Liter Manual Powder Blender
The motion of Alphie mixer is based on the kinematic inversion principle. The unusual, three-dimensional mixing motion quickly and efficiently produces a homogeneous substance regardless of specific weight of the substances being mixed. This makes it an ideal powder blender or liquid mixer.
Manual Alphie Mixer brings same technology power – generating rhythmic and pulsating movement controlled naturally by hand. Added with the mobility!
Typical applications
It is ideal for use in R & D laboratories, educational institutes, small batch production industry, food/nutrition, pharmaceuticals, metal powder, resin and plastic powder, restaurants, bars and kitchens, bakery, spices, concentrates and many more applications

Alphie 3 Powder Blender
The Alphie 2.5 Liter Powder Blender from Glen Mills is designed for precise, repeatable, and gentle blending of powders and small-batch materials. Its 3D inversion mixing action helps achieve homogeneous blends while reducing the need for product-contact mixing blades or internal agitators.
Ideal for laboratories, research facilities, and process development teams, the Alphie 2.5 Liter Blender is especially useful when working with powders that differ in particle size, shape, density, or proportion. The removable container system supports fast changeover, easier cleaning, and reduced risk of cross-contamination between batches.
With adjustable mixing speed, cycle time, and direction, the Alphie 2.5 Liter Powder Blender gives scientists and engineers the control needed to develop repeatable mixing methods before moving to larger-scale production.

Alphie 10 Powder Blender
The Alphie 10 3D Powder Blender is a laboratory and small-batch production mixer designed for highly uniform blending of powders, liquids, and suspensions, even when materials vary in bulk density, particle size, shape, or mixing proportion. Its removable, sealed mixing container allows the powder-filled drum to be placed directly into the mixing cage, helping reduce cross-contamination, minimize operator exposure, and simplify batch changeover. With programmable speed, time, and mixing direction through an HMI/PLC control panel, the Alphie 10 provides repeatable blending performance for R&D, pharmaceuticals, food and nutrition, metal powders, ceramics, plastics, nano powders, cosmetics, and other technical applications. The system is supplied on its own sturdy base stand, requires no special foundation, and is available in powder-coated carbon steel or stainless steel GMP construction for cleanroom and regulated environments.

Powder Blending, Production Scale Powder Blenders
Alphie Powder Blender Production Models
Our larger industrial and production-scale 3D inversion mixers are designed for efficient, gentle, and highly uniform mixing of powders, granules, flakes, pellets, and other dry materials. Unlike conventional mixers that rely on high-speed blades or aggressive agitation, the 3D inversion mixing motion moves the entire container through a controlled, multi-directional tumbling pattern. This helps promote consistent blending while reducing shear, heat generation, product degradation, and segregation.
These mixers are ideal for production environments that require reliable batch-to-batch consistency, clean operation, and flexible container handling. They are commonly used for pharmaceuticals, battery materials, chemicals, ceramics, food ingredients, nutraceuticals, polymers, metal powders, and other demanding industrial materials.
Industrial 3D inversion mixers are available in sizes ranging from 100 liters to over 1,500 liters, making them suitable for pilot-scale production, full production batches, and high-volume processing applications.
Systems are available in both standard powder-coated finishes for general industrial use and GMP stainless steel construction for sanitary, pharmaceutical, food, and cleanroom applications. Depending on the process requirements, mixers can be supplied with either removable containers for easier loading, unloading, cleaning, and material transfer, or fixed-container designs for dedicated production lines and larger batch processing.

How 3D Blending Works
The container rotates on two axes simultaneously, creating a 3D movement that moves the powder in all directions.
This produces a homogeneous blend in less time without shear or degradation.
Application Examples
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
Excipients and carrier blends
Battery cathode & anode materials
Ceramic powders & abrasives
Pigment & additive blends
Food powder & nutraceuticals
Metal powders and composites
Polymers & masterbatches
