Industrial Plow Mixer
Industrial Plow Mixer
The Scott Plow Mixer’s insightful design incorporates high-intensity wedge-shaped plows to deliver a fluidized mixing zone. The slurry mixer shaft operates at higher speeds than a traditional batch mixer, and when incorporated with the cylindrical vessel design, delivers excellent mixing results.
Scott Equipment Company has developed a versatile plow and feed mixer that a variety of process industries have come to rely on for their mixing requirements. Our plow mixer is durably constructed with a horizontal mixing chamber. Cylindrical in shape, it has a solid shaft with the mixer elements welded or bolted to the support posts. The plow mixer is available with all of the necessary sanitary features to meet USDA, FDA, and 3A requirements.
The fluidized bed created by the mixing agitator is ideal for mixing solids to solids, solids to liquids, and liquids to solids. In applications where heating or cooling the product is desired, the fluidization created through the mixing process gives the product excellent surface area coverage on the mixer cylinder. This action greatly increases the efficiency of the unit to act as a drying or cooling vessel. Our plow mixers, feed mixers, and slurry mixers are all available in mild or stainless steel and are manufactured in a complete sanitary design with steam heat, hot water heat, or cold-water jackets for cooling.
