Pug Mixers are
similar to ribbon blender except
for the blade configuration. These
mixers are also called as the
paddle mixer. They are used for
numerous processes including compounding,
fine mixing, dispersing, suspending,
emulsifying, deaerating, tempering,
accelerating chemical or physical
reactions, granulating, breaking
down agglomerates.
Design
Highlights
This is the
most versatile agitator we build.
It contains an equal number
of forward and reversing paddles
which constantly move the ingredients
from one end of the mixer's
tank to the other.Paddles, which
move material toward the outlet,
are fitted to the bottom of
the tank.
Unloading
is also faster and clean out
more thorough due to the fact
only the forward paddles come
in contact with the material
in the tank when the last part
of the load is being discharged.
The paddles
are positioned to move the material
in opposing lateral directions
as well as radially. The paddle
design is generally employed
where friable materials are
being blended.
Paddle
blender consists of several
elements: a centrally mounted
horizontal shaft that rotates
within a cylindrical container,
paddles, ploughs or other shaped
mixing elements that are attached
to the centrally mounted shaft,
special openings at the top
for feeding materials, flush
fitting access doors at the
front of the mixer, a flush
fitting discharge valve at the
bottom of the mixer, which is
pneumatically or manually operated,
inside a cylindrical conduit
and a complete drive unit.
Salient
Features
A distinct advantage of this
agitator is its ability to precision
mix small batches. The mixer may
be loaded to only 20% by volume
without affecting mixing accuracy.
Consequently, a larger mixer may
also be employed to mix an occasional
small batch without sacrificing
mixing accuracy.
This
agitator is excellent for mixing
both wet and dry ingredients. It's
recommended for mixing heavy, resistant
items such as fertilizers, plaster,
chemicals, vitamins and minerals,
detergents, sweeping compounds,
drywall products and caulking, as
well as coffee, teas, and soil mixes.
Applications
These
are horizontal mixers utilized for
blending dry material, powdery granular,
short fibered, moist solids and
liquids together with pasty substances
up to and including highly viscous
masses.
Pastes &
Filter Cakes
Liquid addition is possible through
spray bars. Cakes and pastes are
usually thick and resist blending
without a proper mixing design.
The mixing action of the "bent"
paddle design effectively moves
materials such as pigment, minerals,
ceramics, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
Contact parts of the mixers can
be polished to any level to help
release these sticky materials
for minimal batch retention during
discharge.
Abrasive Materials
Abrasive materials present a
unique challenge to mixing equipment.
Standard mixers can wear out quickly
when processing abrasive materials.
Our line of paddle mixers has
the solution. Our special paddle
design gently lifts and pushes
material producing a gentle cascading
action, thus reducing the wear
of the agitator. The welded paddles
allow for easy wear compensation
and eventual replacement. This
lengthens the useful life of the
agitator while reducing overall
maintenance costs. For especially
aggressive materials, we can make
the paddles from abrasion resistant
steel and install abrasion resistant
liners for the tank.
Animal Feed
Our Blenders are widely used
in Feed mixing industries creating
uniform mixes effi ciently. We
understand that health of an animal
can be dependent on mixes being
accurately and uniformly blended.
