'''Horizontal Mixers''' consists of ribbon, plough and paddle mixers, which are designed for consistent batch and continuous blending of powder and granules with capacities ranging from 35 – 60,000 litres. | |||
==Operations== | |||
The horizontal mixer provides a superior uniform mix of a wide range of materials from free flow material to high density wet material such as plastics chemicals liquids molasses, minerals and detergents, live stock feed for poultry and cattle adding premixes and vitamins. Its "U" shape body is manufactured in a robust heavy-duty construction in painted carbon steel or stainless steel. The effective speed and the specially designed agitator gives the Horizontal mixer a fast time of mixing with 100% accuracy and homogenity. The discharging of the mixer is either done Manually or Pneumatically through operated outlet or slide gate. Mixers are equipped with either a low speed Gearbox motor attached to the main shaft with a chain and sprocket or a speed reducer driven by a motor with a V belt drive. | |||
Side bearings holding the main shaft are either bolted to the sides of the mixer directly or away from the sides with a special stuffing boxes installed for preventing ingredients getting into the bearings. The Horizontal mixer is manufactured in various capacities and sizes from small SH, medium MH, and large LH. Horizontal mixers are equipped by either a Ribbon or a Paddle agitator.The Ribbon Agitator consists of a set of inner and outer helical ribbons that circulates the material from end to end inside and outside, it is recommended to be used for the mixing of free flow material. moreover Ribbon agitator are designed for center discharge or multiple side discharge position. The Paddle agitators uses a lifting and tumbling circulation of materials from end to end and its is recommended to be used with heavy resistant material for both wet or dry ingredients. They are also designed for center or side discharge position. Both Agitators are manufactured to result a fast yet efficient and accurate blending. | |||
==Common Applications== | |||
*Dry powder mixing | |||
*Liquid addition into powders | |||
*Live storage of sticky powders | |||
*Cutting fat into flour | |||
*Addition of oils or other liquids into powders | |||
*Breaking down agglomerates | |||
