Plowshare mixer HMF series

batchsolidhorizontal

Applications The horizontal mixer HMF is designed for mixing tasks from free-flowing and hard to handle dry materials to liquid and paste-like masses with varying bulk densities. Due to various designs gentle mixing process – with low energy input – but also intensive mixing processes can be realized. The HMF can be used in every field of the food industry where highest quality and reliability is essential such as baby food, baking mixtures, cereals, spices, instant products, cakes/desserts, dietary supplements, soups/sauces, chocolate and sugar masses. Design characteristics The mixer is composed of a horizontal mixing trough with mixing tools mounted to the drive shaft. This shaft is driven by a side-mounted gear motor via a drive coupling. The top of the mixer is designed with studs that are used for filling or aspiration of the mixing trough. The pneumatically operated, wide opening outlet on the bottom of the mixing trough is equipped with a cleaning valve. A large, manually-operated lid which is assisted by gas pressure supports enables an easy cleaning of the mixing trough. The mixing tools can be arranged as slanted mixing paddles or as the proven plough-shovel arrangement as appropriate for the corresponding mixing task. The inner mixing area as well as the mixing tool mounting have no bolted connections and all surfaces are polished (max. Ra = 0.8 µm).
