MIXER CONFIGURATION

APPLICATION-ORIENTED
MIXER CONFIGURATION
In addition to our standard configuration, we also offer numerous
options for customizing your twin-shaft batch mixer to the
individual application.
Drive power
Our twin-shaft batch mixer can be designed with different drive
configurations to meet the maximum torque requirements.
Speed
In order to adapt the Froude number to the specific mixing task,
the mixer can be operated with a different speed, a pole-changing
motor or a variable-frequency drive.
Feeding sequence
The location of the inlets and the sequence of feeding the
materials have an influence on the mixing results and the mixing
time. We have the know-how to achieve optimal mixer charging.
Discharge
Depending on the application and plant requirements, various
discharge gates are available for discharge of the mixer, including
a split design and discharge door flaps.

The mixing shafts are sealed with reliable axial face seals. The
shaft bearings are mounted on bearing boxes and located
separately from the shaft seals. This significantly increases
operational reliability of the mixing shaft bearings.

MIXING TOOLS
12
MIXING TOOLS
Suitable solutions for all mixture materials
Universal mixing tools
for the production of dry and moist mixtures with a high fine
fraction. The duplex mixing arms significantly increase the number
of relative motions in the mixture. This enables shorter mixing
times.
WEAR LINERS
Innovative solutions for a long service life
Rhombus tiles
MIXER DISCHARGE
Solutions and options tailored to requirements
Features of the discharge gate
Solid and robust cast iron design
Centrally located between the two mixing shafts
Effective sealing by means of adjustable gate ledges
Precise control of the discharge rate
Reliable operation using pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders
Discharge gate variants
Rotary gate 3 in standard size for most applications
Rotary gate in large-size version for accelerated discharge
Rotary gate 4 in split design for alternate discharge at
twooutlets
Discharge door flaps
The dustproof mixing trough cover for our twin-shaft batch mixer
is equipped with large maintenance hatches opened with the aid
of gas springs. Optional custom connections for feeding, venting,
video monitoring, or color and fiber addition are available upon
request. Dust can be successfully captured by means of vent
socks or an active filter (Figure 1: Sample illustration).
Water dosing
For fast and clean charging of the mixer with aggregates, we offer
robust, custom-designed skip hoists. Tilting-skip or bottom-dump
versions are available.
