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.
The specially shaped shovels lift the product radially from the wall of the drum to prevent particles from becoming compressed between the mixing elements and the drum wall. The mechanically generated fluid bed is therefore ideal for gentle mixing if fragile and heat sensitive components are included in the mix.
Large variety of horizontal and vertical mixing systems for industrial applications. Customized solutions can involve extremely high mixing quality, short mixing times, reproducibility of batches, gentle product treatment, high availability, low-maintenance mixer concept, easy accessibility of all internal mixer components and multi-stage processes in one machine.
Drying
The applepack dryer was developed from the applepack-processe Ploughshares Mixer. It consists of horizontal, cylindrical drum with heating jacket. The product is heated by the jacket and the product moisture is thereby evaporated. A horizontal shaft along the longitudinal axis of the dryer drum is equipped with shovels for mixing the drying product according to the fluid bed principle. This ensures that the product is heated evenly (no local hot spots) and moist material is brought continuously in contact with the heated wall.
The intensity of the product movement increases during the drying process while moisture and therefore viscosity decrease. Use of choppers at the right time produces a bigger heat transfer area and therefore leads to increased drying speed. The dryer is heated by the jacket operated with hot water, steam or thermal oil. Molten salt or an electric heating can also be used to achieve higher temperatures.
Contact drying with the Vacuum Shovel Dryer provides intense mixing and prevents temperature and moisture gradients within the product. Maximum heat transfer coefficients ensure excellent dryer performance. Other key features include gentle thermal product treatment in vacuum mode, multi-phase processing (mixing, granulation, drying, cooling) and cost-efficient solvent recovery.
Reacting
Applepack process reactors are batch, high-speed reactors. The Reactor is available in lab and standard sizes. The benefits include the rapid uniting of reacting agents, prevention of local over concentrations, no temperature gradients within the reaction field, improved conversion of reacting agents, leading to higher yield with greater purity of the final product and multi-phase process (reaction, heating, drying, granulation, cooling).
Typical applications include pharmaceuticals, chemical, cosmetics, plastics, polysaccharides and environment.

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.
Methods of Mixing
- • 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.
Mixers, coating systems, granulators, dryers and reactors …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.
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.
