Ploughshare Mixer With Retractable Shaft
For some special applications and industries, retractable rotor plough share mixer is necessary because if manual cleaning and CIP cleaning cannot meet customer’s requirement, the shaft need to be pull open to clean manually, especially some materials stick on mixing elements. This design help customer totally solve the problem of viscous material cleaning and future maintenance. The most advantage of this type mixer is hygienic mixing environment, access mixing chamber and reduce downtime for cleaning and cross contamination.
Working Principle
It is quick clamp structure between end plate and end flange of vessel body. The shaft can be easy and quick open away from vessel. The input shaft connects with reducer and hold by reducer bearing. The other side shaft is positioned by two bearings. There is rail guide and shaft can be fully open driven by motor or manual operation. However, it needs PLC control system to operate the machine and position sensor to let shaft stop at the same position if the shaft need to be pull open.
