How Does a Plow Mixer Work?
Plow mixers are built to keep materials in its chamber in non-stop motion. During this speedy and robust blending process, the materials are moved around the drum in a lateral, radial and longitudinal manner by internal plows.
Unlike ribbon blenders and other low intensity mixers that blend materials gently over long periods of time, a plow mixer has the capacity to reach complete homogeneity in 90 seconds.
Advantages of plow mixers include:
- High homogeneity (thorough dispersion of all ingredients)
- Short mixing time
- Controlled dispersion of liquids
- Improved temperature controls
