Double Arm Mixers

Double Arm Mixers

Double Arm Mixers are engineered specifically for kneading, mixing, and homogenizing wet, pasty, and highly viscous products.

Working Principles

The two shaped blades, which sit horizontally and parallel at the bottom of the mixing trough, provide thorough mixing. The blades rotate at different speeds in opposite directions causing the product to be transferred from blade to blade and from end to end, resulting in a figure eight pattern.

Discharge of the product can be accomplished by several methods. The mixing trough can be tilted up and forward through the use of a hydraulic system. Valves can be located in the bottom of the unit, allowing the product to discharge through plug, ball, or "bomb bay" type valves. A third method, which has several advantages, is the use of an extrusion screw to discharge the product in a form or shape, or directly to the next phase of processing.

Common Features

Flush bottom doors for complete mixing action. Suitable for mixing and drying of heat-sensitive materials that undergo phase changes during processing, such as liquids to plastics to powders. Ease of maintenance
