February 2026: 25 years of top performance: when quality makes the difference

When quality makes the difference
At a time when machines often need to be replaced after just a few years, the Kniele KKM cone mixer impressively demonstrates what robust construction, high-quality materials and German engineering can achieve. The model shown here, which is the first version, has been in reliable daily use for over 25 years – and still works with the original ceramic lining. A real statement of durability and cost-effectiveness.

Why ceramic is so impressive in the KKM
The ceramic lining of the KKM is one of its key quality features – and for good reason. It offers a number of technical and economic advantages:

• Geometric advantages for maximum mixing quality
  Ceramic enables extremely precise shapes and thus guarantees optimum mixing – crucial for consistently high product quality.
• Guaranteed roundness
  Perfect roundness ensures stable process conditions, minimal turbulence and maximum homogeneity in the material flow.
• Excellent wear protection
  Ceramic is extremely wear-resistant. The result: protection that lasts for decades – as shown here with this 25-year-old model.
• Maximum economy
  Less wear means less maintenance, less downtime and significantly reduced costs in the long term.
• Quick and easy cleaning
  The ceramic surface can be cleaned effortlessly using high pressure. This saves time and increases process reliability.
• Almost complete emptying in seconds
  Thanks to the material properties and geometry, the mixing chamber is emptied almost completely and extremely quickly – an enormous advantage in production-intensive everyday operations.

Future-proof: old models can be easily converted to new technology
Another plus point: even older versions of the stirring arms can be easily converted to the current system at any time. This means that the KKM is not only durable, but also future-proof – regardless of the year of manufacture.

Conclusion: Durability that inspires
Our Kniele KKM cone mixer impressively demonstrates how well-thought-out design, first-class materials and innovative technology can create a mixer that will work reliably for decades.

A powerful example of why investing in quality always pays off in the long term – and why the KKM is still one of the most powerful mixers in its class today.
