Automations in mixers: the state of the art in 2026
In 2026, automation in mixers is no longer an add-on, but a key requirement to:
✔️ Optimize cycle times
✔️ Ensure batch repeatability
✔️ Increase operator safety
✔️ Reduce errors and waste
✔️ Adapt in real time to process conditions
The future of blending is made up of intelligent and adaptive plants.
✔️ Digital actuators for precise control of speed, torque, pressures
✔️ Built-in IoT sensors (temperature, vibration, energy)
✔️ Adaptive control algorithms and auto-tuning
✔️ Plug & play modules for changeovers, utilities, recipes
✔️ Touch HMI panels with guided interfaces and customized logins
Zanelli designs its plants with a clear concept: automation is not added, it is built at the origin.
✔️ Unified Mixing Control 5.0 for complete and remote control
✔️ Native integration with customer’s ERP/MES
✔️ Automatic scenarios, step recipe, customized alarms
✔️ MyZanelli for data visualization, service and KPIs
Each system is designed to be scalable, secure, and interactive.
✔️ Shorter, repeatable cycles
✔️ Confident data, batch histories, easier validation
✔️ Reduced downtime
✔️ Facilitated training through guided interfaces
Automation also enables more sustainable management, optimizing consumption and reducing waste.
Those who want to remain competitive must choose mixers capable of adapting, learning and communicating. With Zanelli solutions, automation is already a reality: robust, intelligent, integrated.
