For dry materials it is equally efficient down to 15 percent (21 l) of rated capacity, satisfying varied production requirements, while allowing small-scale testing prior to blending at full capacity or scaling up to high-capacity Rotary Batch Mixers.
Proprietary mixing flights within the rotating vessel turn, cut, fold and tumble material onto a rotating intensifier that reduces soft agglomerates into discrete particles. The 0.75 kW gear-reduced drive of the vessel and 1.5 kW drive of the intensifier are wash-down rated, and adjusted by variable-frequency controls housed in an IP 66-equivalent (NEMA 4X) stainless steel wash-down enclosure.
The mixer is equipped with a product inlet slide for ease of feeding from bags or boxes, and an inlet-mounted spray line that allows liquid additions to be spread over a wide bed of moving material in large or trace amounts for rapid, uniform distribution. Blended batches are discharged completely through a breech-lock plug gate with no segregation or residual waste.
The unit can be rolled to a cleaning station and accessed through a hinged door on the vessel side wall for unobstructed wash down and visual inspection of all interior surfaces.
