Suitable for processing powdery, fibrous or granular solids, as well as liquids and pastes, the Lödige Ploughshare Type KM 2000 continuous mixer is based on a mechanically generated, turbulent, fluidized bed process. During the process, the shovels rotate close to the wall in a horizontal, cylindrical drum, taking the mixing components off the drum wall and tossing them into the free-mixing compartment from the product bed. Homogeneity and reproducibility of the final product are achieved during mixing or retention times of 25 to 60 seconds.
