Maelstrom 1000 Industrial Vertical Batch Mixer

Specifications

The Maelstrom 1000 is a commercial-grade, severe-duty vertical batch mixer purpose-built for high-efficiency, homogeneous blending of plastic pellets, polymer regrind, cover crop seed, agricultural feeds, grains, and free-flowing dry bulk materials. Featuring a 39 cu. ft. total capacity, this unit offers an optimal working batch size of 1,000 lbs at 30 lbs per cubic foot, providing a generous amount of headroom for rapid, uniform mixing without spillage or drive strain.

Key Features & Highlights

Rapid Homogeneous Blending: The continuous vertical auger draws material upward and cascades it evenly, ensuring a complete, homogeneous blend across custom cover crop seed mixes, polymer resins, or feeds in minutes without material stratification.

Cover Crop Seed & Ag Versatility: Perfectly styled for mixing multi-species cover crop seeds, clover, brassicas, cereal grains, and custom agricultural blends gently and thoroughly without seed damage.

Super Heavy-Duty 11-Gauge Steel Cone: Fabricated with a reinforced 11-gauge steel bottom hopper to withstand continuous abrasion from plastic regrind, virgin resins, and dense grain blends.

Severe-Duty Super Edge Auger Flighting: Features extra-thick, reinforced vertical auger flighting engineered to eliminate edge curling, resist wear, and maintain peak lifting performance over extended use.

Versatile 3 HP Powerhouse Drive: Equipped with a heavy-duty 3 HP electric motor—available in either single-phase or three-phase configurations—to easily adapt to your facility’s power setup.

Plastics & Free-Flowing Material Versatility: Optimized for blending plastic resin pellets, masterbatch colorants, polymer regrind, grains, and free-flowing products without thermal buildup.

Dual-Access Discharge & Cleanout System: Features a standard 8×8 inch square discharge outlet for smooth, controlled batch emptying, paired with a dedicated 10-inch bottom cleanout door for quick, total sanitization between runs to eliminate cross-contamination during seed type changes or color transitions.
