Continuous Plow Mixer
B&P Littleford Continuous Plow Mixers utilize the same processing technology as the Batch Plow Mixer, but provides this in a continuous flow. Continuous Mixers are primarily used where high volume production is a pre-requisite in the processing of dry products, dry products with liquid additions, and product granulations. The B&P Littleford Continuous Plow Mixer is loaded through a port mounted on the topside of the charging end of the mixer. Typical working level of the product is nominally 50% of total capacity.
The Process
The plows put the product into 3-D mixing motion, resulting in a superior mix achieved during a short retention period. Discharge of product is through an adjustable weir control valve at the opposite end of the charge end. Product discharge through a port on the bottom is available as well for products that are sticky or cohesive.
