Plough Mixer for Intensive Mixing

Working Principle

The plough mixer consists of a cylindrical drum containing plough shaped mixing elements that are mounted on a horizontal shaft. It operates on the principle of a mechanically generated fluid bed with three dimensional movement of the product. The plough shaped mixing elements are designed to lift and separate the product within the vessel. The design of the ploughs, their number and spacing, and the speed of rotation all contribute to fluidization. They provide excellent solutions for mixing materials like powders, powders with liquids, and heavy pastes. Homogenous mixing of materials with varying densities, flow-properties, particle sizes and structures is achieved in quick time. Plough Mixer can also be fitted with optional high speed chopper units for applications which require breaking down lumps or when the mixer is to be used for wet granulation.

Standard Features:

• Volume: 100-20000L

• Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel

• Plough agitator for center discharge

• Designed for normal temperature and normal atmospheric pressure

• Feed Nozzle

• Dust Nozzle

• Manually operated or Pneumatic operated flap valve

• Packing Seal

• Safety limit switch on inspection door

Application

Plough mixer is applied for mixing with powder & powder, powder & granulates, and powder with a little liquid. It features high precision mixing, no segregation during mixing and especially good for breaking lumps. It’s widely used for chemical, ceramics, fire protection medicament, cemented carbide, and friction materials, fireproofing materials, dry mortar, and mining industry etc.
