Rotary batch mixer slashes cycle times and overages at contract manufacturer
EW Packaging contract manufactures and packages powder, tablet and capsule products, protein powders, energy drink mixes, and sports nutrition products. Customers include national warehouse clubs and dietary supplement retailers.
Founded in 2001 as EW Trading and EW Packaging, CEO Rob Lonas renamed the company EW Packaging when he brought the company's packaging and printing services in house.
Small Mixer, Massive Impact
When EW Packaging switched to a Rotary Batch Mixer, the Los Angeles contract manufacturer cut blending time in half and slashed ingredient overages from 10 percent to just 2-3 percent.
The gentle, efficient mixing action eliminated dead zones and product damage while delivering perfect HPLC tests every time — transforming powder blending from a bottleneck into the company's most profitable operation.

To improve EW's blending operation, Lonas purchased a 15 cu ft (425 L) Munson Rotary Batch Mixer that loads, blends, and discharges in about 15 minutes—half the time of the previous blenders. The unit's horizontal vessel rotates on external trunnion rings located at each end, handling ingredients gently because it has no agitators. Instead, the vessel has internal flights that create a four-way tumble-turn-cut-fold mixing action, producing homogenous blends without generating heat, shear or stratification. Lacking internal shafts, the mixer has no seals that are in contact with the product.
