High shear plough mixer for powders, granules, and pastes
Achieve rapid and efficient blending with high shear mixers designed for ultra-fast dispersion of powders, granules, and pastes, ideal for production lines requiring precise and consistent mixing results.
Rapidly Mixes and Blends Powders and Granules
The Gardner Plough Mixer from Kemutec offers unparalleled high-speed and shear mixing for the integration of powders, granules, and pastes. It features a horizontal cylindrical design with a short aspect ratio that enables rapid mixing through its high-shear plough agitator. This equipment excels in breaking up lumps and achieving uniform dispersal of minor ingredients, essential for products like cosmetic face powders and instant drink mixes. With capacities ranging from 50 to 25,000 liters, it is suitable for batch operations in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing industries. The mixer can be customized with side choppers for additional shear, and external jackets for heating or cooling, ideal for processes requiring precise temperature control. Available in materials that resist corrosion, the Gardner Plough Mixer ensures compliance with industry standards for safety and reliability. Moreover, options for integrating liquid addition systems and pressure-spraying facilities allow for further versatility in mixing solutions, meeting diverse production needs efficiently.
