A&J MIXING Products

Incorporated June, 1995, we invented a unique dry ingredient mixing rotor, and applied for patents which were granted in May, 1998. Other patents for dryer configuration and controlled orifice air purged seal were granted later.

The advantage of the rotor was accurate mixing to Cv. 5% in one minute or less, using slow speed and one rotor.  Other methods of achieving these results were dual rotor or high speed, so it would also be a lower investment. 

In 1996 we made our first vacuum infusion machines. Also in 1996 we invented our Shearmaker^TM  that added very aggressive shear inside the mixer with the encouragement of a cement producer that wanted something better than was on the market, that would repeatedly perform in the same unit of time, and less maintenance. 

The fixed time and performance made the mixer ideal for systems that could be smaller and lowest cost per ton investment.  That set the stage for the future of the business.  Half the business has been in the cement industry developing color in masonry cement and tile grouts, and mixing thinsets and other mortars.

The no shear mixing is used in coffee beans, pet, aquaculture, dairy, horse feeds. The principle of mixing uses high particle movement making it ideal for liquid additions, which is also part of the feed manufacturing process. 

In 2015 A & J Mixing International Inc. sold assets to A & J Mixing Co., a division of SMICO.
