What we do

Fristam designs and manufactures powder-into-liquid inline mixing systems, including specialized inline solutions for high-viscosity processing, high shear blenders and colloid mixers.

Our standalone Powder Mixers are engineered as turnkey hygienic units that integrate seamlessly into fully automated production lines and wider process systems across demanding industries such as food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, chemical and personal care. Built around a closed mixing design, they ensures powders are fully wetted, dispersed and completely homogenized into liquids while enabling rapid dispersion, reliable CIP-ready operation and consistent product quality.

In addition, Fristam Shear Blenders and Colloid Mixers can be installed as retrofit homogenizing solutions within existing processes, improving dispersion quality without the need for complete system replacement.

Whether customers opt for a complete powder mixing system, or the integration of an additional shear solution into their process – the result is faster processing, dependable long-term performance and hygienically secure production in the most challenging applications.

How we work with our customers

Every Fristam solution begins with a deep understanding of the customer’s process. Our local specialists collaborate closely with production, engineering and quality teams to analyse product behavior, define clear performance targets and determine the optimal mixing strategy.

More than 70% of Fristam mixing systems are tailored to specific application requirements, delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, operational safety and product consistency across hygienic production environments.

As part of our performance guarantee to our customers, Fristam Mixing & Blending offers a trial unit to test the effectiveness of the mixer on your process to prove its capabilities.
