Our Facilities
We are headquartered in Columbus, IN. Our facilities are ready to produce excellence at every turn. The Tipton Mills campus features an 82,000 square foot plant with offices and a laboratory, all nestled on 8 acres. We pride ourselves on using state-of-the-art equipment to produce safe, healthy and delicious products for our clients.
Krueger Continuous Agglomerator
This powerful piece of machinery is the heart and soul of what we do. It’s the only one of its kind in the United States, and it produces quality food and drink agglomerations with speed and efficiency. With our Krueger Continuous Agglomeration System, we have the potential to produce thousands of pounds of agglomerated powder per hour. Capabilities also include the capability to uniformly agglomerate blends that start with extreme differences in particle size and to size the final agglomerant to a tight particle size range for your product application. Our agglomerator allows Tipton Mills to create cold water soluble powders, manage particle size, and increase dust control.

Ribbon Blenders
Our blending equipment features large and small blending capabilities. Batches can range from 500 to 9500 pounds based upon density. We work with a range of food and drink, including coffee, cocoas, nutritional supplements, fibers, proteins, and other specialties. Our ribbon blenders are gentler than plowshares but more efficient than tumble blenders. Similarly, we can blend in even smaller batches, from 5 lbs to 50 lbs, in our Y blenders.
