Small batch versus large batch mixing: which one works better? It all depends on how the operating controls are set.
“Larger mixers may have better agitator or axle arrangements and temperature controls that can more efficiently mix product compared to a smaller batch mixer,” says Wes Osburn, Ph.D., associate professor of meat science, Texas A&M University. “However, setting operating controls for raw materials, mixing times and product temperatures will ensure that a consistent product is blended regardless of the style or type of mixer available.”
