This mixer is designed to mix dust feed and molasses homogeneously as an excellent admixing device of large amounts of liquid. Paddles, that fixed on the main shaft and have adjustable angles, ensure to mix the product with molasses homogeneously as bringing the product to the molasses mixer’s gate. Molasses is added at an appropriate rate according to the product amount that goes through in the mixer. The remaining time of the product in the mixer is defined by rotation speed, angles of paddles and length of mixer. The paddle on the gate is placed in the opposite direction so that it mixes and prevents the risk of product aggregation. This machine is best suited for applications where high intensity and low retention times are needed. Two types of Molasses Mixer are available according to your requirements, Single & Double Shaft Molasses Mixer.
DoubleShaft
To guarantee an effective and optimum mixing, two shafts rotate to the opposite side of each other rapidly and coordinately. With the completion of the mixing process, the coating process which is also known as the expansion stage starts to powder mixed material and unmixed ones. By this process, the materials that are brought with subsequent conveyors do not mix with the current batch in the molasses mixer.
At Feedtech, we manufacture our molasses mixers to confirm all safety requirements and guidelines.
