The continuous operation of processes brings a great deal of advantages. For one, it eliminates the need for upstream and downstream interim storage.

Furthermore, the networking time of the device is increased, as interim filling, emptying, and cleaning cycles are eliminated. With a predefined production quantity, the mixer and drive can have a more compact design. Continuous mixers are used e.g. with high throughput quantities and constant processes.
