Ploughshare mixer for batch operation
When dealing with bulk solids, achieving a high-quality mix in a reasonable time frame is critical. Industries such as metallurgy, chemistry, and food production require consistent and reproducible mixing results to ensure product quality and performance.

Ensures high-quality mixing of bulk solids
The Ploughshare® Mixer for batch operation from Lödige Maschinenbau GmbH is designed to handle a variety of mixing tasks with high efficiency. This technology stands out due to its special arrangement of Ploughshare® shovels on a horizontal mixing shaft inside a cylindrical drum. These shovels rotate at high speed, creating a mechanical fluid bed that ensures all product particles are continuously involved in the mixing process, resulting in homogeneous mixes in the shortest possible time. The mixer also features adjustable speed settings to accommodate different types of products, including powdery, grainy, and fibrous materials. Additionally, choppers can be installed to enhance turbulence, thereby improving the dispersion of fine particles and breaking up agglomerates. The large discharge door design allows for nearly residue-free product discharge, optimized for high throughput operations. The system supports integration with liquid addition and granulation processes, making it versatile for applications in industries like building materials, plastics, and chemicals.
