| Paddle
Style agitators are specially designed
to scoop, lift and tumble materials
in a gentle, but thorough mixing action.
While being mixed, the material travels
in a three dimensional "figure
8" pattern. the material is constantly
being pulled from the ends of the
mixer to the middle of the "figure
8" where the most aggressive
mixing is taking place. This unique
paddle design is ideal for mixing
solids or liquids of various particle
size, density and viscosity. The gentle
scooping action is ideal for blending
fragile ingredients such as nuts or
fiberglass strands. Paddle mixers
work effectively when filled to as
little as 20% of rated capacity, thus
allowing flexibility of batch sizes.
Paddle style agitators allow easier
access for cleaning between batches.
Features of RAJ
Paddle Mixer |
| The
paddles are positioned to move the
material in opposing lateral directions
as well as radially. The paddle design
is generally employed where friable
materials are being blended.
Paddle mixer consists
of several elements: a centrally mounted
horizontal shaft that rotates within
a cylindrical container, paddles,
ploughs or other shaped mixing elements
that are attached to the centrally
mounted shaft, special openings at
the top for feeding materials, flush
fitting access doors at the front
of the mixer, a flush fitting discharge
valve at the bottom of the mixer,
which is pneumatically or manually
operated, inside a cylindrical conduit
and a complete drive unit. |
