Ploughshare Mixers and Reactors, Ploughshare Reactor -Mixers, coating systems, granulators, dryers and reactors

Ploughshare Mixer & Blender – Vacuum shovel dryer –

Ploughshare Mixers and Reactors needs in the single shaft batch mixing and reacting applications. This program extension includes larger batch mixer models (up to 10’000 l), extractable mixing tools, and mixers suitable for solid-solid, solid-liquid, and solid-gas reactions, Applepack make Ploughshare Mixers and Reactors single shaft batch mixers are available with double shells (for heating, cooling, or drying) and designed for high pressure and vacuum operation.

Vacuum shovel dryer – Mixing, Reaction and Granulation: Continuous “All-in-One Process”

Shovel dryers are batch vacuum dryers. The mixing elements are frequency-controlled for ideal adaptation to the process. Special rotating mixing elements, installed in a cylindrical drum equipped with a temperature control jacket.

• Cylindrical mixing chamber
• Mixing tools: ploughshare / ploughshare with toothed design / Mix Paddle / Mix Paddle with toothed design
• Material of construction: carbon steel / Hardox / AISI 304 / AISI 316 /

Ploughshare Mixers and Reactors – Multi-phase process reaction, heating, drying, granulation, cooling.

• Consisted of horizontal main body, one shaft and shovel type wing, driving device, high speed chopper, etc.

• The plow-shaped wing forms a fluidized layerdue to the constant rotational speed, and moves the mixture in horizontal direction to mix the raw materials.

• When small amount of additive or liquid are added. high-speed chopper can be used to produce dispersion effect and milling effect.

• After completely mixing the raw materials, the discharge starts from the outlet of the central part and the outer wing pushes the raw materials inward, and it is possible to discharge the mixture when there is no outlet.

APPLICATIONS FIELDS of Vacuum shovel dryer

• Cellulose derivatives (CMC, HPMC, HEMC, MC)
• Starch, guar and tamarind derivatives
• Specialties chemicals
• Pharmaceutical intermediate products
• Plastics
• Recycling

A fluid bed generated mechanically in this way has all the product constantly involved in the mixing process. It thereby ensures maximum mixing intensity at even the high feed rates and short residence times.

The specially shaped mixing elements ensure good product conveyance. Choppers are installed in the mixing drum to disperse agglomerates and provide controlled granulation during the mixing process.

The plough share mixer is composed of a cylinder body, a rotary spindle, colter group, flying group, support, transmission parts, nozzle, jacket etc.. After starting the motor spindle drive, the Coulter group rotation, the normal direction of sides along the two sides of the counter, through the flying group, is a high-speed. rotating rapidly and effectively break and disperse.

The material is of high speed flying and dispersed, fell into the bottom of mixer, coulter group provides a composite material mixing force required, be mixed material to do a full range of combined cycle in internal mixer, mixing to quickly reach. The Coulter spindle mixer and knife group is an external fixed bearing seat, and the cylinder body and contact with the hub packing seal, the feed box for machining parts, so as to ensure the sealing performance of the mixer, no leakage, good protection of external bearings.

The bottom of the mixer adopts a large pneumatic open door structure with tight seals, fast discharging speed, clean discharging, and small cleaning strength when replacing equipment. There are two types of spray operation: pneumatic and electric. Pneumatic spray needs an air compressor and sprays evenly. Electric spray is directly injected into the fluid pump, but the spray uniformity is not as good as the pneumatic method. Some mixed occasions need to mix at a certain temperature, which requires the Coulter mixer cylinder being arranged outside the heating jacket.

There are two ways of heating: electric heating and heat conducting oil heating: electric heating is convenient, but heating rate is slow; heat conduction oil needs to be equipped with oil pan and oil transmission power and pipeline, with large investment, but the heating speed is fast.
