Dual shaft mixer for high viscosity products

Achieve uniform dispersions in high-viscosity processes with a dual-shaft mixer that combines precise blending, heat transfer, and shearing capabilities essential for developing consistent product textures.

Mixes and Disperses High-Viscosity Materials

The HHL-II Dual Shaft Mixer/Disperser from Hockmeyer Equipment Corporation is engineered to tackle the challenges of mixing high-viscosity materials with precision. Featuring a dual-shaft design, it combines a center-mounted low-speed helical or anchor blade with a high-speed dispersion shaft. This setup ensures efficient blending and shearing, crucial for uniformity in products like hot melt adhesives and moisturizing creams. Ideal for operations from batch to pilot scale, it seamlessly integrates into production lines with its inverter-driven motors and options for vacuum, pressure, or atmospheric conditions.

Made from either stainless steel or carbon steel, this mixer prioritizes durability and resistance to corrosive materials. The system’s innovative scrapers enhance heat transfer while aiding in powder incorporation, contributing to energy-efficient operations. With sizes accommodating up to 3500 gallons and adaptability for hazardous environments, the HHL-II supports diverse industrial needs, including printing, sealants, and cosmetics sectors. Maintenance is straightforward, thanks to the separate shafts and robust blade design, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced downtime.
