MIXING MACHINE AND

EQUIPMENTS

TeknoMix Ploughshare Mixer
TeknoMix ploughshare mixer is one of our three types of tubulent powder mixers. The other
one is paddle and ribbon mixer.
Similar to ribbon mixer, ploughshare mixer is so versatile that it can handle nearly all types of
materials including drying material, powdery granular, short fibered substance, moist solids
with liquids, higly viscous masses and pasty material.
TeknoMix ploughshare mixer can be used for numerous processes, including, granulating,
breaking down agglomerates compounding, fine mixing, dispersing, suspending, emulsifying,
deaerating, tempering, accelerating chemical or physical reactions, etc. It is particularly suited
for such difficult processes as mixing trace elements in proportions of 1 in 100,000 to 1 in
1,000,000 parts.
Operation Process:
The mixing container is filled from 30% to 75% capacity, allowing space for individual
particles to be dispersed within the main area of the mixer. The plough shaped mixing elements
create intense axial and radial movements causing the product to move throughout the mixing
space. The shape and angle, together with the adjustment and rotation of the mixing elements
and drum wall, cause the product to be lifted off the surface of the drum wall. The product is
automatically discharged while the machine is still running so that any separation is prevented.
Constructions:
Ploughshare Mixer consists of a centrally mounted horizontal shaft that rotates within a
cylindrical drum container, ploughs or other shaped mixing elements are attached to the
centrally fixed shafts, special openings at the top for feeding materials, flush fitting access doors
at the front of the mixer, a fitting discharge valve at the bottom of the mixer which is
pneumaticly or manually operated, and a complete driving unit.
