Introduction:

Plough Mixer is a high speed mixer with high homogeneity. During the mixing process, the raw materials are transferred around the drum in a radial, lateral and longitudinal movement by the high speed plough shears and choppers. Moreover, the mixing time is short, especially for free flowing powders or granules. Liquid additive and Heating or Cooling is also applicable.

Working Principle:

In the first case the mixing shaft and the tools are horizontally installed, thus achieving, at corresponding movement, a product reaching from a loose product bed up to a mechanically generated fluidised bed. In the second case the mixing shaft is installed in vertical direction, whereby a socalled vortex is built at corresponding movement. The installation of fast-rotating chopper heads enables the mixing of products tending to lump formation. Due to the mixing tools, the material to be mixed is hereby specifically fed to the activity area of the chopper head. Besides the conventional ploughshare mixing tools a large variety of modified mixing tools is available, facilitating an optimum adaptation of the mixing tools to the individual material.
