Batch mixer for powdery, granular, and fibrous materials
In many industrial processes, achieving uniform mixing of powdery, granular, and fibrous bulk materials can present significant challenges. This is often due to the varying particle sizes and properties, which can lead to inconsistent product quality and inefficient production cycles.
Short throughput times with excellent mixing quality
The Ploughshare® batch mixers type FKM Light Series from Loedige Process Technology are designed to process powdery, granular, or fibrous bulk materials efficiently. Constructed from AISI 304L stainless steel, these mixers include nozzles for liquid feed lances, choppers, and thermometers, which are closed by flush-fitting plugs to minimize dead space. Despite its limited options compared to the classic FKM model, the FKM LS model still guarantees excellent mixing quality and high batch reproducibility. These mixers offer short throughput times thanks to their standardized components, which can also be retrofitted with little effort. Applications include the chemical industry, cosmetics, and food processing. Optional features include choppers, liquid addition systems, control systems, and ATEX explosion protection. Additionally, the system can be upgraded to AISI 316L stainless steel for higher corrosion resistance.
