Mixing Technology for Trail MixesTrail Mix MarketThe trail mix market continues its steady growth trajectory as Americans seek convenient foods that they can feel good about eating. Trail mixes are made by combining nuts, dried fruit, seeds, chocolate, pretzels, granola and other ingredients which requires equipment that can blend mixes accurately with little or no breakage to insure packaging of quality mixes with consistent volumetric sizing.

Mixing TechnologyThe OptimaBlend® Fluidizing Blender from American Process Systems® provides best-in-class blending equipment and systems for lab to high volume production. The OptimaBlend® overcomes the limitations of established methods of blending and provides a better quality-of-mix along with faster mix times. OptimaBlend® mechanically fluidizes the product, eliminating roll apart segregation caused by gravity and ensuring an efficient and gentle mixing process regardless of particle size, shape or density.
