Ploughshare Mixers are ideal for mixing powders and granules and can be used for light paste-like or cream materials.The mixer is based on proven mixing construction that provides a double mixing action ensuring fast and efficient blending.The constant rotation of stainless steel blades drives the material to the top of the trough where it tumbles to the base and is once more folded back into the material mass.
Design and construction , and operations
Plough Shear Mixers (also named ploughshare mixers, plow mixers, plough mixers) consists of a cylindrical drums containing plough shaped mixing & drying with mounted Horizontal shafting. It creates a mechanical products fluidized bed drying & mixing with Short times. The drying & mixing material coming from the wall into free spaces in a crisscross directions and inversely products materials back again. The plow separates and lifts the products materials into three-dimensional motions numbers and arrangements of insuring agitation back as well forth along the length of the vessels/ tanks/ mixing unit. The mixing actions is assisted by high speed chopper device independents high speeds motor with customized blades for adding shear to the product materials mix & drying.
Plough Shear Mixer machines is specially designed for ordered heavy duty mixing of both Dry and Wet materials. The special design of shovels / Plough with broad end and pointed tip facilitates goods penetrations and shuffling of mass within. Penetrations followed by agitations of the mass in quickly succession with the specially design blades result in homogeneity of powder mass both in dry and wet stage. Appropriate dough formations is reached in later processing.
Plough shear mixer machine centrallymounting chopper unit will then operating to obtains wet granules of uniform sizes. Mixing homogeneous of mass for easily discharged from bottoms of the mixing drum provided with a flush fits discharging port / units.
Ploughshare mixer is equipped with many different auxiliary components like Jacket with Steam coil, Pressure Jacketed, Circulations jacket mediums, sampling valves, high speed choppers, Temperature sensors, weighing system, dust removal system etc. We provides different jacket systems with machines used for heating and cooling systems while, the temperatures should be maximum 200 Celsius degree. If required a small quantity of liquid is required during mixing with spraying or automation units is necessary in orders to mixing the liquid with the main ingredients. The liquid system is basically composed by the three parts pressure sources, liquids storage pot and spraying nozzles etc.

Plough Mixer consists of horizontal & cylindrical drum vessel, plough shaped shovel agitator, drive unit and chopper. The mixing elements create a mechanical fluidized bed mixing actions to hurl materials away from the wall of vessel into free space in crisscross direction and inversely back again. A fluid bed generated mechanically in this way, whereby the raw material is constantly involved in the mixing process, ensures maximum mixing intensity at even the highest feed rates and shortest residence times and allows addition of liquids. The Ploughshare Mixer guarantees extremely high performance and fully optimized processes to adapt specific mix. Plow Mixer has very fast mixing speed to get ideal mixing homogeneity in very short time and can also be used to solve multiple applications including mixing, drying, coating, reacting in one single machine. In order to meet big capacity requirement, we can also design batch and continuous mixing process for client.
Mixers consist of a mixing drum vessel with an inlet, an outlet with discharge valve and a venting spout, a full material mixing shaft, two drum closing end plates that carry flanged end bearing assemblies complete with integrated air or gas-purged shaft seals, and a drive unit complete with power transmission.

Ploughshare Mixer is based on the principle of mechanical fluidisation of the product, The particular shape, position and rotation speed of the mixing tools, creates a centrifugal vortex motion which allows the materials to be projected in a three-dimensional way and to merge with each other. This ensures that ingredients with different particle size and bulk density are perfectly blended and mixed with high precision within the shortest possible time.
