Constructed of carbon steel, the Rotary Batch Mixer model 700-THCX-600-MSL blends abrasive materials in six to eight minutes with total uniformity and little to no shear, degradation or heat. It is intended for demanding applications including concrete premix, ceramics, powdered metals, fertilizers, plastics, and catalysts.
It has a useable batch capacity of 600 ft3 (17 m3) and achieves uniformity with equal efficiency from 100% to 15% of rated capacity, regardless of disparities in the bulk densities, particle sizes or flow characteristics.
Its horizontal rotating vessel contains proprietary mixing flights with replaceable wear liners made of abrasion-resistant steel that tumble, turn, cut, and fold material gently. The flights also direct the material toward and through a stationary, pneumatically-actuated plug gate valve for total discharge.
The rotating drum, powered by dual 60 HP (45 kW) drives, is supported at each end by two oversized trunnion rings that ride on heavy-duty alloy roller assemblies, providing long life with minimal maintenance. The design eliminates the need for an internal shaft with seals contacting material.
Twin doors on opposing sides of the mixing vessel and a sliding intake chute provide unobstructed access to the interior, intake spout, and seal area. A stationary inlet and outlet at opposite ends of the vessel allow hard connections to upstream and downstream conveyors, process/packaging equipment or storage vessels.
