This is the horizontal single shaft plough shear mixer which is based on the principle of mechanical fluidization of the product. The particular shape, position and rotation speed of the mixing tools create a centrifugal vortex motion, which allows the products to be projected in a three dimensional way and to merge with each other. This ensures that components with a different particle size and bulk density are perfectly blended and mixed with high precision within the shortest possible time. This machine specifically suitable for lump forming products or little viscous products.
This can be used as dryer with heating jacket provision. The product is heated by the jacket (operated with hot water, steam or thermal oil) and the product moisture is thereby evaporated. A horizontal shaft along the longitudinal axis of the dryer drum is equipped with shovels for mixing & drying the product. This ensures that the product is heated evenly and “moist material” is brought continuously into contact with the heated wall. This guarantees efficient drying.
During a drying process, mixing shovels not only mix the product homogeneously but also transport the product to the inside wall of the dryer to ensure effective heat transfer. There are different types of shovels for different products depending on their density. viscosity etc. Extra provision can be made such as liquid injector, shaft heating, sampling device etc.
The dryer can be equipped with one or more choppers (high speed blades rotating on the inside wall of the dryer drum) to disintegrate the agglomerates and lumps in the product. The choppers are positioned in the drum in such a way that product is constantly conveyed towards them by the shovels. Dryers can be retrofitted with choppers.
A vertical filter with filter elements is mounted on the dryer drum to clean the vapors. When the vapors pass through the filter elements, dust particles are retained. The filter is cleaned by periodic bursts of N2 gas/air through the filter elements. Particles caking the filter drop back into the dryer and are returned to the process. For easy exchange the filter elements can be mounted on a plate which can be removed from the filter housing when required.

3. Special Heel removal discharge valve 2
A specially designed quick openable discharge valve which allows much closer access to interior of machine for heel removal is also available
4. Special Quick detachable designs for bottom
a) Super ‘C’ Bayonet
This design is similar to a TC clamp design but hydraulic operated. This facilitates easy and fast bottom bed detachment for filter cloth & product change over. This design is good for vacuum and very low pressure application
b) Teethed Bayonet
This desigTn has teethed body flanges, which are hydraulic operated and this is a ‘Positive Locking’ design. It facilitates easy and fast bottom bed detachment for filter cloth & product change over. This design is good for vacuum as well as high pressure applications.
lurry is charged into filter preferably by gravity flow from reactor installed above the filter or by slurry pump. Vacuum is then applied in the filtrate receiver which is connected to the filtrate discharge nozzle.
WASHING BY SPRAYING SUCKED OUT. WASH LIQUOR AND CAKE DEPOSITED RESLURRING. ON FILTER BED
Mother liquor is sucked through the filter bed and collected in the receiver, which is below the level of lower compartment of the filter, and slowly cake formation begins on the filter media. When most of the filtrate is sucked out, the cake is deposited on the filter bed.
WASHING BY SPRAYING WASH LIQUOR AND RESLURRING
If necessary, after first filtration, wash liquor can be sprayed on filter bed and cake can be reslurried by manipulation of agitator movement. Filtration can be then repeated. As many washing as necessary can be done till cake is free from all impurities and the quality is within acceptable limits.
