After-sales service, assistance, maintenance and customer care
As part of the MC² philosophy, policy and customer-oriented attitude, a great deal of attention is dedicated to helping customers with technical service, on-site assistance and maintenance operations. We provide our customers with spare parts (standard and/or tailor-made), retrofit accessories, complete unit revamps and modifications, and ordinary/extraordinary maintenance services.

KB and KC single-shaft horizontal ploughshare mixers
Ploughshare mixers are ideal for mixing powder and granular materials to a very high degree of product homogeneity in a very short time. Thanks to their high speed of rotation, the design and sequence of the mixing tools (ploughs or blades) and their high shear and turbulent action, KB and KC ploughshare mixers thoroughly distribute all ingredients within the recipe (particle distribution up to 1:100,000), whatever the bulk density, particle size and percentage of each ingredient may be. Due to their mechanical fluid-bed mixing principle, these mixers achieve the desired results in the shortest possible time (generally in less than 180 seconds), avoiding product stratification and dead spots within the mixing drum.
Ploughshare mixers are available in a batch (KBC-KBT) or continuous (KCV-KCF) configuration.
Batch mixers are equipped with one or more inlets and one or more discharge ports; upon request, a large bomb door that opens along the entire drum length is available: this technical sollution is adopted to speed up discharging operations or drastically decrease product residue after mixer dsicharge operations. All discharge solutions are perfectly flush with the drum, eliminating the risk of dead spots. Discharge doors are electro-pneumatically or hydraulically operated.
Continuous mixers, on the other hand, have one inlet at one end of he drum and one open discharge spout at the opposite side: the mixed materials flow into one end of the mixer, are processed and gradually pushed forwards, for final discharge through the open outlet at the opposite end.
Made in mild steel, hardened steel (HB400-HB500) or stainless steel (304 or 316 grade), all ploughshare mixers can be equipped with a wide variety of accessories, designed to increase mixing efficiency, reduce mixing time, and improve performance depending on application and process requirements. Among them the most commonly used are: wear-resistant coating on mixing tools; high speed side refiners with blade-type or tulip-type tools; liquid injection systems; temperature jackets (used for heating or cooling the mixed materials) and temperature probes (for continuous monitoring of product temperature inside the mixing drum); bolted, replaceable, internal wear-resistant liners; different types of drives; pneumatic sampling devices; pneumatic control panels for all appliances that require compressed air; full control panels for stand-alone installations; ATEX versions for hazardous materials and applications.
Thanks to their exceptional flexibility in terms of configuration and different types of materials of construction, KB and KC ploughshare mixers have a very broad field of application, providing the ideal mixing solution for virtually all industrial processes where mixing and blending are an important, if not critical, production phase.

RBC single-shaft horizontal ribbon blenders
RBC type single-shaft ribbon blenders are the ideal solution for mixing and blending light, fragile materials to an excellent degree of homogeneity. Thanks to their slow movement and four counter-rotating ribbon flights - guaranteeing product movement alng the entire length of the drum - these units will gently blend soft products like flour, cereals, flakes, atomized ceramic ingredients, plastic granules and many more delicate ingredients.
Available in mild steel and 304 or 316 stainless steel, these blenders are equipped with hinged (or bolted) lids for inspection and cleaning operations; they can be fitted with inlet spouts and vent ports; frontal hinged doors are available when intallation contraints prevent access to the mixing trough through the top lids. Depending on the application, RBC ribbon blenders can be fitted with one or more electro-pneumatic discharge trap doors (perfectly flush with the trough), guaranteeing absence of dead blending zones, or with a simple discharge spout (round, square or rectangular) which can be fitted with a buttefly or slide valve. Upon request a total bomb-bay door discharge (60°) is also available, when zero residue is critical.
Among the possible accessories available there are liquid injection systems (to incorporate liquids in the dry mix), temperature jackets (for product heating/cooling) and drum insulation, ATEX electric components (or full ATEX certified versions), and many more.
With a wide, complete range of units, RBC mixers provide the ideal solution for all customer requirements (be they small, manual productions or large automated production lines).
