Principle of Operation

The Double shaft Trough Mixer is a robust industrial machine designed for the homogeneous mixing of dry bulk materials. It operates based on the mechanical principle of integrating two parallel shafts equipped with paddles. The paddles rotate in opposite directions to ensure a consistent mix by lifting materials in a fluidized zone. This mechanical action allows for rapid turnover and optimal contact between different material particles, resulting in a uniform blend.

Structure and Components

The mixer consists of several key components:

• Shafts: Typically made of high-strength steel, each shaft is equipped with strategically angled paddles that are customizable depending on the materials being mixed.
• Trough: The housing that contains the materials and shafts. Manufactured from stainless steel or other durable materials to withstand industrial use.
• Drive System: An electric motor and gearbox assembly provide power to rotate the shafts, ensuring the necessary torque is available to handle the mixing load.
• Discharge System: A bottom-mounted gate or valve allows for the rapid and complete discharge of the mixed materials.

Operational Parameters

The efficiency of a double shaft trough mixer is determined by certain key operational parameters:

• Rotation Speed: Typically between 20 to 30 RPM for optimal mixing.
• Mixing Time: Varies between 3 to 5 minutes depending on material properties and desired homogeneity.
• Capacity: Ranges from 200 to 5000 liters per batch, influencing the size and configuration of the mixer.
• Power Consumption: Dependent on model and batch size, usually from 5 kW to 30 kW.

Applications and Benefits

Double shaft trough mixers are versatile, finding applications in industries such as food processing, chemical manufacturing, and construction materials. Their benefits include:

• Uniform Mixes: Capable of achieving high homogeneity in a short time.
• Scalability: Suitable for both small-scale and large-scale production environments.
• Durability: Built to handle abrasive and dense materials.
