This mixer feeds, mixes and discharges very quickly
Gebr. Lödige Maschinenbau
The quick-emptying mixer of type SEM 3000 (photo) is equipped with an extra large discharge opening along the entire length of the drum. The large discharge opening ensures an almost residue-free discharge of the product in only two seconds. This is especially suitable for applications requiring high throughputs in combination with batch operation. In addition to prompt discharging, the unit provides quick feeding and short mixing times. Up to 25 batches per hour can be processed. The batch mixer operates with the principle of the mechanically generated fluidized bed. Ploughshare Shovels rotate as mixing elements on the mixing shaft in the horizontal, cylindrical drum of the SEM 3000. In this way, powdery, grainy and fibrous products are moved in three dimensions, whereby all of the product is constantly involved in the mixing process. The mixing elements are specially shaped to lift off the product away from the drum wall and to prevent particles from being crushed, ensuring a particularly gentle processing of the product. The new SEM is available in four sizes with drum volumes from 1,600 up to 3,000 L. Hall 1, Stand 517 — Gebr. Lödige Maschinenbau GmbH, Paderborn, Germany
