Plow Mixers - PerMix Plow Mixers

PerMix PTS series Plow Mixers are one of our two types of Turbulent Mixer. The other one is PTP series Paddle Mixers. PTS plow mixers are so versatile that it can handle nearly all types of materials including drying material, powdery granular, short fibered substance, moist solids with liquids, pasty material and highly viscous masses.The PerMix PTS series Plow Mixer can be used for numerous processing, including compounding, fine mixing, dispersing, suspending, emulsifying, deaerating, tempering, accelerating chemical or physical reactions, granulating, breaking down agglomerates, etc. It is particularly suited for such difficult processes as mixing trace elements in proportions of 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 1,000,000 parts.

PerMix PTS series Plow Mixers consist of a centrally mounted horizontal shaft that rotates within a cylindrical container, plows or other shaped mixing elements are attached to the centrally mounted shaft, special openings at the top for feeding materials, flush fitting access doors at the front of the mixer, a flush fitting discharge valve at the bottom of the mixer which is pneumatically or manually operated, and a complete drive unit.

The plow mixers container is filled from 30% to 70% capacity, allowing space for individual particles to be dispersed within the main area of the mixer. The plow shaped mixing elements create intense axial and radial movement causing the product to move throughout the mixing space. The shape and angle, together with the adjustment and rotation of the mixing elements and drum wall, cause the product to be lifted off the surface of the drum wall. The product is automatically discharged while the machine is still running so that any separation is prevented.

PerMix offers lab & pilot size plow mixers for Research & Development purpose. The small size machine is very helpful for customers when the ingredients for R&D are expensive, and to meet the budget limit at the first stage. With the good performance of the lab & pilot mixer, it is easy to scale up for a medium size or even bigger one.

The installation of PerMix Multi-chopper in the basic PTS mixer enables the breaking down of agglomerates during the mixing process. Together with the mixing element, the PerMix Multi-chopper removes lumps in the initial product, chops pasty adhesives and hinders the formation of agglomeration during the moisturizing of powdered substances. The PerMix Multi-chopper is operated independently by its own motor.

– Various Types of Mixing

PerMix provides mainly two types of mixing elements – plough (for PTS Mixer) and paddle (for PTP Mixer). Both have their advantages: the plough shaped element can easily penetrate through the dense and thick powder or paste materials, while the paddle element can cover an even wider range of viscosity.

– Continuous Operation

We can supply machines for continuous work when a large capacity per hour is needed for the same material. Continuous plow mixers differ from batch plow mixers in that the mass flow of the product is from the inlet of the container to the discharge at the opposite end.

– Heating & Cooling Jacket

Jacketed trough for heating/cooling operation by steam, thermal oil, or water.

– Drive System

Drive system by geared motor, cycloidal reducer, worm reducer, belt or chain transmission, etc.

– Feeding & Discharging

A variety of feeding & discharging methods can be selected by the customers. Discharging port can be by manual or pneumatic operation.

– Access Door

Access doors can be designed for easy inspection & maintenance.

– Spray Nozzle

Liquid can be added into the powder by spray nozzles on a pipe which is installed on the top of the mixing trough. The necessary pump and tank can also be provided by us.

– Extended Height Bases

Height of our mixers can be defined according to customer’s condition.

– Construction Material

We are able to offer mixers with contact part to be built by Carbon steel, SS304, SS316/316L, Titanium, Duplex stainless steel, Hastelloy, etc. For abrasive materials we offer hardened steel as the contact part. Also we produce mixers all by stainless steel in order to meet the high hygienic requirement.
