With over 75 years of experience in the world of powders, granules, and pellets, Dinnissen knows exactly what makes an excellent mixer. A wide range of Pegasus® mixers are used worldwide by leading manufacturers in various industries. For almost every composition of powders, granules, and pellets, Dinnissen has a suitable mixing solution. For Dinnissen, mixing is more than just creating a homogeneous product. Whether it's mixing at specific temperatures or moisture levels, or spraying micro-ingredients, Dinnissen is eager to work with you to determine what is needed for your production process.

Mixing your product
When working with a variety of ingredients, it's crucial to bring them together into a homogeneous mixture, ensuring that every batch consistently matches the same composition. This reliability is essential for all organizations that include a mixing step in their production process. Dinnissen understands the importance of being able to rely on achieving the exact desired result every time. Our mixing solutions allow not only larger quantities of ingredients but also the integration of micro-components, liquids, and fats during the mixing process. This ensures that the right amount of added substances is distributed onto every particle or chunk. Temperature and atmospheric pressure within the machines can also be controlled through an app.
Pegasus® mixers are ideal for large quantities of products such as dough preparation for bread, dry animal feed mixtures, chemical powders, and milk powder blends. Additionally, Dinnissen offers solutions that can be used for testing and refining new recipes and formulations, such as the R&D Mixer. From small mixers with a volume of 10 liters to massive 15,000-liter mixers that can handle tons per batch, a Pegasus® mixer ensures a homogeneous end product every time. This makes the machines suitable for a wide range of industries.
Our mixing and processing solutions
Continuous and Batch Mixer
When mixing large quantities and maintaining a consistent recipe over time, the Pegasus® Continuous Mixer can be an ideal solution. This compact mixer ensures a steady flow of mixed product by continuously feeding ingredients into the system, which is crucial for processes that require a constant recipe and large volumes. On the other hand, the Pegasus® Batch Mixer mixes ingredients in separate batches, as the name suggests.
Conditioner and 5-in-1 Mixer
If mixing needs to be done under specific conditions, the mixer can be adapted to meet those requirements. For example, the Pegasus® Conditioner adds steam or warm air to the mixing process, adjusting the moisture content of the product being mixed. The Pegasus® 5-in-1 Mixer, specially designed for the food industry, combines five processes: mixing, vacuum coating, drying, germination, and acidification. This machine saves time and costs by eliminating the need for transport between process steps.
Pegasus® Vacuum Coater
If the mixing process involves more than just homogenizing and spraying substances, the Pegasus® Vacuum Coater may be the right solution for your process. In this mixer, substances are mixed under vacuum, with minerals, vitamins, oils, and fats being sprayed onto the product. By releasing the vacuum, these substances penetrate deeply into every particle or chunk. Both mixers offer temperature control capabilities.
Pegasus® R&D Mixer
Looking for a smaller mixer for testing and experimenting with new formulations? The Pegasus® R&D Mixer is perfect for testing and developing recipes, with the ability to experiment with mixing time, rotation speed, and temperature. Once your recipe has been optimized on a small scale, Dinnissen can assist with scaling up to a larger mixing solution.
Curious which solution best fits your production process? Dinnissen is happy to work with you and provide tailor-made systems based on your specific product and process needs.
Applications of mixing and processing
Our mixing and processing solutions are suitable for a wide range of industries, including food, petfood, (aqua)feed, chemicals, and dairy. If you work in a different industry and are looking for a specific mixing solution, feel free to contact us for tailored advice and discover how Dinnissen can support your production process.
Food
In the food industry, mixers are used for various products, including spice blends, baking mixes, flavored snacks, baby food, breakfast cereals, cocoa powder, coffee powder, and more. Each type of mixer is designed to address the specific challenges of these products. For example, when producing baby food, it is crucial to avoid contamination between different batches, making a batch mixer ideal for the job. On the other hand, for mixing a baking mix with a consistent recipe, a continuous mixer is the perfect solution.
PETFOOD
The Vacuum Coater is particularly used in the petfood industry, where vacuum technology ensures each kibble is coated with as many nutrients as possible. Since these nutrients penetrate deep into the core of the kibble, more substances can be added while keeping the kibble dry. This application is also widely used in feed and aquafeed, alongside other mixers, to create a homogeneous final product in compound animal feed.
Chemical industry
Dinnissen mixers are also well-suited for the chemical industry, where, for example, an R&D mixer can be used to experiment with various compositions, which can then be scaled up for larger production runs.
Ensuring quality
Dinnissen stands for reliability. The world’s leading producers place their trust in Dinnissen’s solutions. Our ISO 9001 certification demonstrates that our processes meet international standards for systematically delivering products and services that comply with relevant laws and regulations.

Many of Dinnissen’s machines are available in ATEX versions, making them safe to use even in environments with explosion risks.
Process as part of the total solution
Looking for more than just a single machine? As a system integrator, Dinnissen delivers complete production lines from A to Z. Taking a holistic approach, we evaluate the entire production facility and optimize layout, setup, and system architecture. The goal: maximum output, efficiency, and minimal downtime in the smallest possible space. Dinnissen integrates all machines and systems for every step of the process into one complete production line, in a highly automated system wherever possible. From specification to service. From product intake to packaging. And from machines and systems to full control and automation. To ensure a well-functioning and robust production line, Dinnissen keeps as much as possible—from engineering to production and from control to commissioning—in-house.
