Rotor mixer

Overview
The KAHL continuous mixer is a horizontal, fast-rotating agitator-blade system designed to mix mealy, granular, fibrous or flaky solids with liquids and steam. It enables simultaneous feeding of several bulk flows and liquid/steam injections and uses a whirling principle to produce lump-free, homogenous mixtures. Agitator blades are adjustable to control throughput time and whirl formation, allowing process adaptation to different products. The machine is offered in four sizes with motor powers from 7.5 to 110 kW, providing high throughput variability.

Design
The mixer features a welded housing with large inspection and assembly flaps for easy access. The mixing chamber can be lined with replaceable plastic or stainless steel jackets to prevent adhesion. Liquids are introduced via injection devices. A robust shaft carries adjustable, easily replaceable mixing tools made of wear-resistant special cast iron. The shaft runs in anti-friction bearings located outside the mixing chamber and is dynamically balanced with balancing discs in separate chambers for smooth operation. On-site rebalancing is possible. Special seals separate the mixing and balancing chambers.

Application
The KAHL continuous mixer is suited to processes where liquids must be added to solids, for instance moistening powders or granules, continuous feed mixing with liquids and steam, and molassing of dried beet pulp. It is used across feed, food-processing and industrial material conditioning tasks requiring controlled liquid addition and lump-free mixing.
