PLOUGHSHARE MIXER
The Ploughshare mixing action provides a hurling and whirling
effect to dry/liquid mixtures. Within the mixing cylinder the
products are forced around the drum with medium intensity shear.
Excellent heat transfer is achieved during agitation.

PLOUGHSHARE MIXER
The mixing action within the cylinder comes from a set of
plowshare tools mounted to a common single shaft. The plowshares
are driven in a precise pattern around the drum to present the
mass into the chopper zone. Note this action in the video..

Optional High speed choppers can add work energy and higher
shear to materials. Agglomeration and granulation are preformed
with the choppers and sprayed liquid.
