Product Description
The Horizontal Ploughshare Mixer is a single-shaft forced mixing device equipped with multiple sets of ploughshare agitators. These agitators are staggered and continuously installed to avoid mixing dead spots. During operation, the staggered ploughs create continuous vortex centrifugal forces, leading to overlapping and scattering of the material flows, resulting in a boiling and convective circulation that rapidly mixes the materials.
For cohesive materials like fibers, damp clumps, or liquid-aggregated powders, the mixer includes high-speed choppers installed at a 45-degree downward angle on the mixer drum's side. The chopper blades extend into the drum, where materials driven by the ploughshares enter the effective range of the choppers, getting sheared at high speed for efficient de-agglomeration and separation.
The Horizontal Ploughshare Mixer is capable of handling the mixing of solid powders and granules, and is suitable for batch mixing processes that involve the addition of liquids. It is widely used in the food, chemical, and construction materials industries, and is particularly notable in applications such as food additives, pre-mixed mortar, composting technology, sludge treatment, rubber and plastics, and specialty construction materials. The powerful cutting action enables it to achieve high-performance mixing quality.
Application
The Double Cone Mixer can be used in industries such as powder metallurgy, electrical alloys, magnetic materials, battery powders, pearlescent pigments, chemical industry, medical, and food industry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of materials can the Horizontal Ploughshare Mixer process?
The Horizontal Ploughshare Mixer is designed for solid powders and granules. It is highly capable of handling cohesive materials like fibers, damp clumps, or liquid-aggregated powders, and supports batch processes requiring liquid addition.
How does the mixer prevent materials from adhering to the container wall?
The gap between the agitator blades and the container wall is designed to be extremely small, effectively preventing material buildup and adhesion during the mixing process.
What is the function of the high-speed choppers in the mixer?
The high-speed choppers are positioned at a 45-degree downward angle on the side of the mixer drum. They shear materials at high speeds to achieve efficient de-agglomeration and separation of clumped or fibrous components.
In which industries is this equipment most commonly applied?
This equipment is widely utilized in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and construction materials industries. Specific applications include food additives, pre-mixed mortar, sludge treatment, composting technology, rubber, plastics, and specialty construction materials.
What safety features are included with this mixer?
The mixer comes with robust safety features, including an emergency stop button, overload protection, safety locks, a splash guard, and anti-slip feet to ensure safe industrial operations.
How is the equipment constructed for easy maintenance and cleanability?
It features a cantilever shaft structure with bearing ends that do not contact the materials, preventing contamination. Additionally, the design facilitates fast and thorough cleaning between batch changes, reducing maintenance downtime.
