Ploughshare mixer for batch operation
Achieve superior mixing quality with a system designed for rapid batch operations. Experience precise, gentle treatment across diverse materials while ensuring reproducibility and efficient integration into any production line that demands high throughput and consistent results.

Processes and Mixes Diverse Industrial Materials
The Ploughshare® Mixer for batch operation from Gebrüder Lödige Maschinenbau GmbH offers unmatched versatility and precision in mixing, drying, and coating processes. Uniquely suited for industries such as chemical production and battery fabrication, it employs a horizontal mixing shaft that generates a mechanical fluid bed, effectively ensuring homogeneous mixing even with diverse material densities. Ideal for producing plasterboards, EPS granules, and lithium-ion battery cathode materials, this mixer handles solid, powder, and slurry types seamlessly. Its robust construction allows for additional choppers to increase turbulence and ensures efficient integration with existing production lines through PLC control systems. Further enhancing operational efficiency, the mixer is designed for minimal residue discharge and low maintenance, featuring wear-resistant components and options for ceramic or tungsten-carbide lining. Certified for various industry standards, it supports a clean-in-place (CIP) system for straightforward maintenance and effortless compliance with stringent industry regulations.
