In most production sectors associated with dry bulk materials, uniform and regulated mixing is important to the quality of products and the efficiency of the process. The Two Shafts Paddle Mixer, also known as a twin shaft paddle mixer, is a specialized industrial machine engineered for fast, gentle, and homogeneous blending of powders, granules, and particulate solids. The mixer will adequately disperse any material and maintain the integrity of the particles, having its own special features in two-shaft paddles.

The two shafts paddle mixer has been developed at INCMachine as a superior quality product that is fitted to sustain the high-level requirements of the current manufacturing plants. Be it sensitive food material or heavy construction powder, our mixer provides the best mixer performance, energy efficient and long service life.

What Is a Two Shafts Paddle mixer?

A two shafts paddle mixer is a horizontal batch mixer, which involves two counter rotating shafts, with carefully angled paddles. These paddles create a fluidized area where the materials are carried, suspended and mixed up well in a brief period. In comparison to classical ribbon blenders or vertical mixers, the design increases speed of mixing and low shear force, which is the reason why it can be used to mix delicate or sensitive products.

The application in which the machine is used is where there exists the need to have uniformity, consistency, and low product degradation and thus this makes it a perfect fit in mixing operations in a variety of industries.

Working Principle of the Twin Shaft Paddle Mixer

The fundamental mixing process of the mechanism being attributed to two closely matched rotating shafts with paddles attached to each of the shafts at varying angles. With the rotation of paddles:

• They pick them up and fling materials into a weightless fluidized layer.
• This causes three dimensional mixing where particles are moving in radial, axial, and longitudinal directions.
• The operation involved in mixing is quick and efficient as most of the mixing operations takes 1 to 3 minutes.
• The lifting effect does not pack down the materials or cause rise sufficiently and provide safe and efficient mixing, particularly in the cases of fragile and heat sensitive ingredients.

Characteristics of Two Shafts Paddle Mixer of INCMachine

1. Duo Counter-Rotating Shafts

The paddles attached to the two shafts move in synchronization because they completely raised a balanced flow rate, a fluidizing mixing area. It makes it consistent with little to no stress or breakage on materials.

2. Construction Materials

The mixers can be in stainless steel or carbon steel, as directed by purpose. Contact surfaces are smooth and easy to clean making the equipment suitable for food and pharmaceutical application.

3. Short Mixing Cycles Short mixing cycles

Having quick stirring power, most materials are completely stirred up in less than five minutes, so less energy is used and more product can be produced.

4. Nozzles can help to add liquid (Optional)

It is possible to add nozzles to spray oils, binders or moisture accurately in mixing without lump formation or separation.

5. Various types of discharge valves exist.

Flap valves, butterfly valves or sliding gates can be selected to accommodate downstream packaging or convey systems.

6. Cleaning Full Access

Its design incorporates vast access doors and an insufficient amount of dead spaces, thus cleaning, maintenance, and inspection are harmless and simple.

Applications of Two Shafts Paddle Mixer

The twin shaft paddle mixer’s versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of industries, including:

1. Food Industry

It is used in the blending of seasonings, cereals, flour mix, coffee, baking ingredients and nutritional powders. It mixes gently, which does not harm any ingredients.

2. Pharmaceutical Industry

Provides consistency in mixing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), excipients and herbal powders and still traceable and that the product is of integrity.

3. Chemical Industry

Perfect to blend powders, pigments, resins, pesticides, fertilizers and specialty chemicals which need complete distribution, devoid of segregation.

4. Construction and Building Materials

Applied to dry mortars and cement, plaster, tile adhesives and non-surfacing concrete additives where bulk uniformity is the primary performance criteria.

5. Pet food and Animal feed

And will guarantee homogenous mixture of proteins, grains, vitamins and supplements within the production of feed.

Benefits of Two Shafts Paddle Mixer (INCMachine)

1. Homogeneous Mixing

The mixer has been engineered to perform its paddle action with energy efficiency as well as the fluidization effect, which guarantees uniform mixture despite variation in size, shape, or density of ingredients used.

2. Moderate but Complete Agitation

Suitable where minimal impact mixing is necessary, as in shape preservation of the particles in order to avoid unwanted high frictions or heat generation.

3. Great Production Efficiency

The fast batch cycle and simple cleaning minimize downtime, as well as exploit productivity throughout the continuous process.

4. Scalability

Laboratory models through to full scale production mixers, INCMachine has the capacity in every capacity.

5. Custom Engineering

All mixers are customizable in their shaft design, paddle design, liquid spraying systems and control panel.

6. Long-Term Durability

The sturdy frame, abrasion-resistant paddles and tight drive systems provide a consistent performance that requires little maintenance.
