Machine Type
The Ploughshare® Batch Mixer operates on the principle of a mechanical generated fluid bed introduced by Lödige to mixing technology. Equipped with mixing elements which can be adapted to individual requirements, these machines achieve mixes of highest quality.
Standard Design
Ploughshare® Shovels rotate as mixing elements in special arrangement on the mixer shaft in a horizontal, cylindrical drum. The size, number and positioning, geometric shape and peripheral speed of the mixing elements are coordinated in such a way to generate a three-dimensional movement of the components. The resultant turbulence in the mix, with total involvement of all product, prevents the formation of dead spots or low-movement zones and ensures high-speed, precise mixing.
Modified mixing elements and adjustment of the peripheral speed ensure a flexible use of Lödige Ploughshare® Mixers in a wide range of applications, for processing bulk products (powdery, grainy, fibrous) or for processing mixes suitable for pumping.
Products having extremely different bulk densities and structures can also be mixed successfully in Lödige Mixers.
In special cases, the effect of the mixing elements may require additional support and this is provided by separately driven, high speed choppers which are able to disperse agglomerations and control granulation.
