Continuous Paste Mixer and Method of Use

A method for mixing ingredients without risking uncontrolled exothermic reactions during paste preparation, the method comprising:

• installing a continuous paste mixer comprising a mixing apparatus secured to a frame, the mixing apparatus including one or more mixer assemblies configured to extend and stack with respect to the frame, the one or more mixer assemblies to mix ingredients (thixotropic and/or non-Newtonian) continuously and uniformly without risking uncontrolled exothermic reactions;
• determining a mixing profile for mixing the ingredients in the one or more mixer assemblies;
• generating uniformly mixed paste though the one or more mixer assemblies;
• and
• automatically controlling movement and operation of the mixing apparatus according to the mixing profile to mix the ingredients in the one or more mixer assemblies.
