Plough Shear Mixer

Plough Shear
Mixer


A Plough Shear Mixer is an industrial mixing machine designed to blend materials quickly and efficiently, using high-speed plough-shaped mixing elements. These mixers are commonly used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food, plastics, and construction materials.

Teshi Process Solutions specializes in the design, engineering, and fabrication of advanced Plough Shear Mixers tailored to meet the specific requirements of various industries. Our mixers are designed to deliver superior mixing performance, ensuring homogeneity in both dry and wet mixing processes. With a focus on innovation and quality, we provide robust and reliable solutions that adhere to the highest engineering standards.

Key Features Of Plough Shear Mixer

  • Plough-Shaped Blades: The mixer features plough-shaped blades that rotate at high speed, creating a three-dimensional movement of the materials. This ensures rapid and homogeneous mixing.
  • High-Shear Action: The mixer generates high shear forces, which help in breaking down agglomerates and dispersing fine particles evenly throughout the mix.
  • Cylindrical or Horizontal Drum: The mixing chamber is typically cylindrical or horizontal, allowing for efficient movement of materials. The drum is designed to prevent dead spots and ensure consistent mixing.
  • Choppers: Some models include high-speed choppers that provide additional shear force, further enhancing the mixing process, especially when dealing with clumps or lumps in the material.
  • Versatile: The mixer can handle a wide range of materials, including powders, granules, pastes, and even some types of liquids. It is suitable for mixing materials with different densities, viscosities, and particle sizes.
  • Scalability: Plough Shear Mixers are available in various sizes, making them suitable for both small-scale and large-scale industrial applications.
  • Ease of Cleaning: Many designs are optimized for easy cleaning, making them suitable for industries where hygiene is critical, such as food and pharmaceuticals.

Working Principle Of Plough Shear Mixer

  • Material Lifting: The screw rotates and lifts the materials from the bottom of the cone to the top.
  • Gravity Mixing: As the materials reach the top, they fall back down due to gravity, creating a continuous and effective mixing loop.
  • Gentle Mixing: The gentle lifting and tumbling action minimize material degradation, making it suitable for delicate or friable materials.

Features and Benefits Of Plough Shear Mixer

  • Superior Mixing Efficiency: The conical design combined with the screw mechanism ensures thorough mixing with minimal dead zones, resulting in a homogeneous mixture, regardless of material type.
  • Gentle Handling: The gentle mixing action of the screw ensures minimal shear, making it ideal for delicate or fragile materials, preserving the integrity of the product.
  • Versatile Applications: Our Cone Screw Mixers are suitable for a broad range of industries, including biofuel, biochemical, pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. They can handle various materials, from free-flowing powders to cohesive pastes.
  • Customizable Design: Teshi Process Solutions offers tailored solutions, ensuring that each mixer is designed to meet the specific needs of your application. Options for jacketed vessels, vacuum operations, and different material finishes are available to suit your unique requirements.
  • Energy-Efficient Operation: Designed with energy efficiency in mind, our mixers reduce operational costs while maintaining high performance, making them both economical and environmentally friendly.
  • Easy Maintenance: With minimal moving parts and an accessible design, our Cone Screw Mixers are easy to clean and maintain, reducing downtime and improving productivity.

Advantages Of Plough Shear Mixer

  • Fast Mixing: The high-speed ploughs and choppers allow for rapid mixing, reducing production time.
  • Uniform Mixing: Ensures a consistent mix with minimal segregation of materials.
  • Flexible Operation: Capable of handling a wide variety of materials and processes.
  • Energy Efficiency: Optimized design reduces energy consumption compared to other types of mixers.

Applications Of Plough Shear Mixer

Teshi Process Solutions’ Plough Shear Mixers are designed to serve a wide array of applications, including:

  • Pharmaceuticals: Mixing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients to ensure consistent product quality.
  • Biochemicals: Homogenization of chemical compounds in the production of bio-based chemicals.
  • Food and Beverage: Mixing of ingredients in food processing, including baking mixes, spices, and flavorings.
  • Biofuels: Blending of feedstocks in biofuel production processes.
  • Construction Materials: Mixing of dry powders and additives in the production of construction materials such as cement and adhesives.

Considerations Of Plough Shear Mixer

  • Material Sensitivity: The high shear forces might not be suitable for sensitive materials that could degrade under intense mixing.
  • Maintenance: Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the longevity and performance of the mixer, particularly the choppers and seals.

Plough Shear Mixers are highly versatile and efficient, making them a preferred choice in industries where rapid, homogeneous mixing of bulk materials is required.
