Plough share mixer, also known as ploughshare mixer, plow mixer or plough mixer is a kind of single shaft high speed paddle mixer with high homogeneity, the degree of mixing can reach 85-95%, which means the coefficient of variation (CV) is not greater than 5-15%.

It is suitable for the mixing of two (or more) granules or powders with a particle size of more than 10μm, and the addition of a small amount of water or binder. During the mixing process, the raw materials are transferred around the drum in a radial, lateral and longitudinal movement by the high speed plough shears and choppers. Its short mixing time, especially short for free flowing powders or granules.

Served Industries:  Metallurgy, Mining, Refractories, Chemicals, Building, Ceremic, etc.
Common material: Clay, coal, steel mill residues, ores, charcoal, soap, etc.

Working Principles

Raw materials are fed through the feeding port. When the motor starts, the reducer and coupling drive the main shaft to rotate, and the plows continuously mix the materials in the drum. The additive is evenly sprinkled on the turbulent materials through the liquid spray device, and is evenly mixed with the powder during the mixing process. During the mixing process, the materials are mixed mainly by shearing and convection, and supplemented by diffusion. Plow produces a strong vortex effect of colter turning on the material, which strengthens the mixing effect.

Option 1: Chopper

The inner side of the cylinder can be installed with choppers directly driven by motors. When mixing materials, the thrown and turbulent materials pass through the choppers, and are quickly and intensively scattered by the high-speed rotating chopper. Plow and chopper have dual effects on the material, the material can mix evenly in a short time and mixing quality is also improved.

Option 2: Heating device

In order to meet the needs of solid additives, the outer layer of the cylinder can be equipped with a heating device, which can be heated while the material is mixed. When a certain temperature is reached, the additive will melt, so that it can be better mixed with the material and achieve the effect of uniform distribution.

Mixing tool

The mixing tool is durable and easy to maintain, and its shape can be determined according to the material being mixed. As standard, our company already offers a reliable selection of wear-resistant materials:

  • High-quality steel used as structural material
  • Composite rubber lining and engineering plastics
  • Carbide coating or overlay coating
  • High alloy steel

Mixing drum

Rubber or polymer lining to prevent materials from sticking

Transmission part

Power demand, speed, etc. can be selected according to specific working conditions.

The power system can choose electric motor or hydraulic motor according to the needs, and the transmission system can choose direct connection, V-belt or hydraulic coupler (normally direct connection for small models, V-belt for medium models, and hydraulic coupler for big models).
