Plow Mixers

  • Operate on the principle of a mechanically generated fluid bed with three dimensional movement of the product.
  • Cylindrical drum containing plow shaped mixing elements mounted on a horizontal shaft
  • May be fitted with high speed chopper units for applications which require break down of lumps or when the mixer is to be used for wet granulation
  • Tulip shaped choppers and the X-mass tree chopper
  • Working volume ranges from 30 percent to 70 percent  of the total drum volume.
  • Plow tip speed of more than 200 metres per minute to effect fluidizing action
  • Mix ratios of as high as 1:20,000
  • Mixing time is 5 minutes with 95 to 98 percent homogeneity.
  • Capable of handling viscosities of up to 600,000 centipoises.
  • Specific power for the mixer drive generally ranges from 30 to 40 kW/m3
