Ploughshare or blade mixer
Mixing 100% solid materials or incorporating liquids up to high viscosity
Available in two operating versions: continuous or discontinuous (batch).
Operating modeThese mixers are based on the principle of mechanical fluidisation of the product. The particular shape, position and rotation speed of the mixing tools, creates a centrifugal vortex motion, which allows the materials to be projected in a three-dimensional way and to merge with each other. This ensures that components with a different particle size and bulk density are perfectly blended and mixed with high precision within the shortest possible time. Continuous mixers The management of flow rate and duration of stay of the material in the tank are performed according two technologies: 1. internal diaphragm angularly set: preferred version for monoproducts processes where the setting rarely intervenes 2. slide valve with height adjustment from the exterior enabling simple and easy adjustment for batch changes Advantages of continuous mixing:
Discontinuous mixers Batch mixers for solid materials enable an excellent mixing quality in a short time. These standard mixers are widely used in the agri-food and chemical industries. The reduced size of the mixer and its high finishing minimize the retention and offer a response to all mixing processes. | Main avantages
Characteristics of the mixing tank
*the minimum mixing volume is 30% of the total volume for a configuration with plowshares et 15% for a configuration with blades |
