SS Plough Shear Mixer, Automation Grade: Automatic, Capacity: 2000 Liters

Plough Share mixers operate on the concept of a fluid bed with three-dimensional product movement that is mechanically generated. The mixer consists of a cylindrical mixing vessel containing plough or paddle shaped mixing elements mounted on a horizontal shaft installed along the central axis of the mixing vessel. The mixing elements are designed to lift and separate the product within the vessel. The number of ploughs / paddles, their spacing, and the speed of rotation all contribute to degree of fluidization. Plough Share mixer provides intense mixing within short mixing times.

A drive system comprising of a motor, gearbox and couplings drives the plough shaft. A sealing arrangement is provided for the area where the shaft exits the container to ensure that material does not travel from the container to the outside and vice versa. For injecting liquid into the material, liquid spray systems can be provided. For applications requiring lumps to be broken down or when the mixer is to be used for wet granulation, plough mixers can be fitted with high-speed chopper units. In the lower portion of the mixing vessel, single or multiple choppers are mounted. It is popular to use the tulip-shaped chopper and x-mass tree chopper variants.
