Twin shaft mixers for fragile and high throughput applications

Maximize mixing efficiency and protect delicate materials with a twin-shaft system designed for rapid, uniform processing and minimal material stress, ideal for high-speed and semi-automated operations.

Mixes, Fluidizes, Loads, and Discharges Efficiently

The TS Twin Shaft Mixers from Winkworth are designed for industrial batch processing, offering a robust solution for complex mixing needs across sectors such as adhesives, food, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. These mixers excel in handling delicate and high-throughput applications by employing counter-rotating blades that fluidize mixtures, enabling efficient and thorough mixing with minimal residence time. Ideal for producing diverse end-products like hot melt glue sticks, marzipan, and vitamin supplements, the TS mixers accommodate batch volumes ranging from 20 to 2000 liters. Equipped with pneumatically operated bomb doors for quick discharge and compact designs allowing easy integration into existing production lines, the TS mixers prioritize ease of use and maintenance with features like split gland housings. They are constructed from stainless steel to ensure longevity and corrosion resistance. Customization options include variable speed drive units, explosion suppression adaptations, and internal spray nozzles for specific processing needs. These mixers meet stringent industry standards and offer optional certifications such as ATEX, enhancing safety in explosive environments.
