Machine Type
Batch mixers operate on the hurling and whirling principle introduced by Lödige to mixing technology. Equipped with mixing elements which can be adapted to individual requirement, the mixes produced in these machines are of the highest quality.
Standard Configuration
Ploughshare shovels rotate as mixing elements in special arrangement on the mixer shaft in a horizontal, cylindrical drum. The size, number and positioning, geometric shape and peripheral speed of the mixing elements are coordinated in such a way that they produce a three-dimensional movement of the components. The resultant turbulence in the mix, whereby all the product is constantly involved in the mixing process, prevents the formation of deadspots or low-movement zones in the mixing drum and ensures high speed, precision mixing. To prevent particles from being squashed against the drum wall, the mixing elements are specially shaped to lift product from the wall within the radial movement of the mix.
In some cases additional assistance for the mixing elements to obtain the desired mixing effect is required. Separately driven, high-speed choppers can be installed to disperse agglomerations and control granulation during the mixing process in coordination with the mixing elements.
