About Plough Shear Mixer
The offered Plough Shear Mixer consists of a cylindrical drum containing plough shaped mixing elements that are mounted on a horizontal shaft. It creates a mechanical fluidized bed mixing action. It is designed for heavy duty blending of both dry and wet materials. It can be used in the various industries as per the need. Plough shape shovels mounted on a central shaft with its pointed ends are easily penetrable through the dense powder, pasty mass. Plough Shear Mixer is very useful.
Superior Mixing PerformanceEngineered for thorough blending and granulation of dry powders, the Plough Shear Mixer features a high-efficiency plough-shaped mixing mechanism with alloy or stainless steel arms. Its variable shaft speed and robust geared motor system ensure optimal results across a range of applications, from pharmaceutics to food processing, enabling uniformity and consistent quality.
Versatile and Customizable DesignEach Plough Shear Mixer can be tailored to specific process requirements. Customize capacity, surface finish (mirror or matt), material, and discharge type (manual, pneumatic, hydraulic) for your operation. Optional heating jackets allow for processing at pressures up to 2 bar and temperatures up to 250C, while the color and size can be adjusted to fit facility needs.
Easy Maintenance and OperationDesigned for routine usability, the mixer grants easy internal access via large inspection doors for cleaning and maintenance. The double gland shaft sealing prevents leakage, ensuring product integrity and operational safety. Its semi-automatic functionality streamlines the mixing process, minimizing manual intervention and downtime.
FAQs of Plough Shear Mixer:
Q: How does the Plough Shear Mixer achieve effective powder mixing?
A: The Plough Shear Mixer utilizes specially designed plough-shaped arms mounted on a horizontal shaft. As the shaft rotates at adjustable speeds (2060 rpm), these arms lift and disperse powders, creating a fluidized mixing zone that ensures thorough blending and granulation, even for cohesive or fine materials.
Q: What is involved in cleaning and maintaining the mixer?
A: Cleaning is facilitated by large inspection doors that provide easy access to the mixing chamber. Smooth internal surfaces and carefully selected finishes (mirror or matt) allow for quick residue removal. Regular inspection and maintenance of the double gland shaft seals ensure reliability and prevent any material leakage.
Q: When should the heating jacket feature be used?
A: The optional heating jacket is ideal for processes requiring controlled temperatures or material heating, such as drying or activating certain ingredients. It is suitable for operations up to 2 bar and temperatures of 250C, commonly needed in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food applications.
Q: Where can the Plough Shear Mixer be installed?
A: This mixer is designed for use in industrial production plants, research facilities, and pilot-scale operations. Its customizable size and capacity accommodate various workspace requirements, making it suitable for manufacturers and suppliers in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and fertilizer sectors.
Q: What are the power requirements and safety features of the mixer?
A: Depending on vessel size and process demands, the mixer consumes between 5 kW and 30 kW of power and operates at 220/380 V with a frequency of 50 Hz. Safety is prioritized through robust construction, double gland shaft sealing, and optional automated discharge systems, minimizing operator risk.
Q: How can the mixers discharge type be selected and what are the options?
A: Discharge type can be chosen based on production flow and material handling needs, with manual, pneumatic, and hydraulic options available. Manual discharge suits small batches, while pneumatic and hydraulic systems offer faster, automated discharging for more extensive or continuous operations.
Q: What are the benefits of using this mixer for my production process?
A: The Plough Shear Mixer offers versatile, consistent, and homogenous blending, reduces mixing times, handles a wide range of material types, is easy to clean, and can be tailored to your operations unique needs, enhancing productivity across multiple industries.
