In 2025, amixon GmbH is honored with the ife Innovation Award “Batch Size 1+” for developing the Gyraton® Silo Mixer — a groundbreaking achievement in industrial powder mixing.
The award is presented by the ife – Institut für Einzelfertiger (Institute for Custom Manufacturers), a network that connects mid-sized innovators in mechanical and plant engineering. Its mission: to recognize solutions that unite technical excellence, process efficiency, and sustainable production.
This award highlights amixon’s dedication to advancing mixing technology. The Gyraton® Silo Mixer stands as a symbol of precision, energy efficiency, and practical design — an approach that embodies the spirit of German engineering.
By combining silo capacity with high-precision mixing, amixon once again demonstrates how process innovation can improve real-world powder handling performance.
In bulk solids processing, two key operations often work in separate systems:
The Gyraton® Silo Mixer bridges this gap. It can mix batches up to 3,500 ft³ (100 m³) evenly and gently — in a single process step. This innovation redefines what’s possible in powder homogenization, process reliability, and energy efficiency for the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
At the heart of the Gyraton® lies a unique dual-motion mixing tool:
This synchronized motion creates a smooth, three-dimensional flow pattern that mixes the entire vessel volume completely and without dead zones.
The result: consistent, reproducible mixing quality — with remarkably low energy consumption. Adjustable speed control allows operators to fine-tune the process according to product behavior, formulation, and power availability.
The ife – Institut für Einzelfertiger (Institute for Custom Manufacturers) is a cross-industry organization that connects companies specializing in custom machinery, plant systems, and high-precision engineering. It fosters collaboration between industry, research, and consulting, focusing on topics such as digital transformation, process optimization, and sustainability in single-item and variant production.
The ife Innovation Award “Batch Size 1+” is presented annually to recognize companies that demonstrate exceptional engineering capability and flexibility. It has become one of Europe’s most respected awards for mid-sized industrial manufacturers driving innovation.
With the Gyraton® Silo Mixer, amixon continues to redefine mixing at scale. The system combines precise powder homogenization, high capacity, and low energy demand — making it an outstanding solution for producers seeking efficiency and product quality in one.
