What's the technical difference between pan mixers and continuous mixers?

Pan mixers provide thorough, controlled batch mixing suited to precise castable work like ladle repairs where accuracy matters more than speed. Continuous mixers, often paired with a gunning machine, are built for sustained output needed on larger jobs like kiln relining where the installation crew needs a steady material supply. The choice comes down to batch size and application method rather than one being universally better. Sparkline Group stocks both types depending on project needs. Matching mixer type to application avoids bottlenecks during installation.
