The Ploughshare Mixer is a high-speed, high-intensity horizontal batch mixer designed for efficient mixing of powders, granules, pastes, and slurries. It consists of a cylindrical mixing chamber equipped with plough-shaped mixing elements mounted on a centrally rotating shaft. These ploughs create a turbulent mixing zone, lifting and agitating the materials in a three-dimensional movement, ensuring fast and uniform blending.

For enhanced performance, choppers or high-speed cutters can be optionally integrated to break down agglomerates and improve dispersion, especially in moist or cohesive materials.

Key Features

• Aggressive and thorough mixing action for rapid and homogenous results
• Optional chopper assemblies for de-lumping, dispersing liquids, or intensifying mixing
• Suitable for mixing dry powders, wet masses, and paste-like materials
• Short mixing time, ideal for time-critical processes
• Available with jacketed construction for heating or cooling
• Customizable build in SS304, SS316, carbon steel, or special alloys
• Easy access doors and complete discharge design for minimal residue and easy cleaning

Applications:

• Pharmaceuticals: wet granulation, powder blends
• Chemicals: detergents, pigments, pesticides, and polymers
• Food & Feed: spices, bakery mixes, nutraceuticals, and animal feed
• Construction: dry mortar, plasters, cementitious materials
