Continuous ploughshare mixer for diverse industrial applications
In the production environment, achieving uniform mixing for various high-throughput materials is critical. Conventional systems may struggle with homogeneity and efficiency, especially when scaling up or handling diverse materials.
Achieve uniform mixing with high throughput
The Continuous Ploughshare® Mixer by Lödige Process Technology is designed for thorough and efficient mixing across a wide range of industries. This mixer features specialized ploughshare shovels arranged on a horizontal shaft within a cylindrical drum. These shovels move materials against centrifugal force and in an axial direction concurrently, creating a mechanical fluid bed for consistent mixing. Filling levels from 20% to 50% do not affect mixing quality. Optional choppers enhance turbulence, ensuring fine particle incorporation and the dispersion of agglomerates. The system allows for liquid addition via various feeding mechanisms, aiding in processes such as granulation and coating by precisely controlling liquid distribution without moistening mixer walls. Suitable for industries including building materials, chemicals, plastics, food, and metallurgy, the mixer’s durable, low-maintenance design guarantees reliable operation.
