Laboratory ploughshare mixer for small-scale production
Achieve precise mixing and granulation for R&D and small-batch production with this versatile laboratory mixer, ideal for creating high-quality powders, granules, and coatings across multiple product types.
Mixes, Granulates, and Coats Small-Scale Batches
The Lödige Laboratory Ploughshare Mixer, available in models L5, L10, L20, and L50, is designed to fulfill precise research and development tasks across a spectrum of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. This mixer operates on a mechanically generated fluid bed principle, utilizing specialized ploughshare shovels that ensure intensive mixing dynamics, perfectly adapting to bulk solids and pumpable products. Key capabilities include efficient granulation and uniform coating processes, facilitated by adjustable mixing speeds and the inclusion of ancillary choppers for enhanced particle dispersion.
Applications span from developing drywall compounds and epoxy resins to crafting organic mascara and lactose-free protein shakes. Its capacity varies with model size, accommodating batch operations that allow for rapid prototyping and testing. The mixer is engineered for seamless integration, utilizing PLC-based controls and offering customization in drum sizes and mixing elements, which cater to diverse formulation needs. Constructed with stainless steel and compliant with GAMP5, it also incorporates options for heating and dust-free feeding to optimize processing conditions. Cleaning is simplified with easy access to components, ensuring compliance with sanitary standards and minimal downtime.
