The DP® Plough Shear Mixer operates on the principle of intensive mechanical mixing through the combined action of rotating plough-shaped mixing elements and high-speed choppers. Material enters the mixer through the feed inlet (1) and is loaded into the mixing chamber, where the plough-shaped mixing elements (2) continuously lift, circulate, and distribute the material throughout the vessel.

Inside the mixing chamber, the rotating ploughs generate a three-dimensional turbulent movement, causing continuous lifting, rolling, and cascading of particles to achieve rapid and uniform blending. The choppers (3) provide additional high-speed impact and shear forces, breaking down agglomerates and dispersing fine particles to improve mixing uniformity. The access door (4) allows convenient inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the mixing chamber and internal components.

The combined action of the ploughs and choppers ensures efficient mixing of powders, granules, and materials with different particle sizes and bulk densities. Once the desired mixing uniformity is achieved, the finished product is discharged through the mixed product outlet (5) for collection or downstream processing. The mixer is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, offering short mixing times, uniform product distribution, and efficient processing of dry powders and granules.

Features & Benefits

• Delivers rapid and uniform blending of powders, granules, and dry bulk materials, ensuring excellent mixing efficiency and batch-to-batch consistency.
• Specially designed plough elements generate intensive axial and radial material movement, promoting continuous circulation, effective particle distribution, and shorter mixing cycles.
• Independently driven choppers generate additional high-shear forces to break down agglomerates, disperse fine particles, and improve mixing uniformity.
• Engineered vessel geometry and strategically positioned mixing elements minimize dead zones, enhance material circulation, and support efficient product discharge.
• Large access doors and an accessible internal arrangement facilitate inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, reducing product changeover time.
• Heavy-duty construction and a reliable drive system ensure stable mixing performance, reduced maintenance requirements, and extended equipment service life.
