INTENSIVE PRODUCTION OF PREMIXED BUILDING MATERIALS

KB4PT01700ILD

The Challenge

We were commissioned by a major overseas company to manufacture two identical mixers for the production of a vast array of building materials. Certain formulations, in particular, contain high volumes of hard, abrasive materials with coarse, irregular particle size distributions.

Installed at the heart of the new production line, the units had to be exceptionally high-performing and flexible to successfully manage a finished product throughput of 40 tonnes per hour each across two or three shifts.

The MC² Solution

  • Mixer model: KB4ST01700ILD batch mixer
  • Material of construction: extra high-thickness mild steel with internal liner in HB400 wear-resistant bolted panels, individually replaceable
  • Maximum working capacity: 1,740 litres
  • Solid mild steel rotor shaft, with grease-purged seals
  • Mixing tools: adjustable, bolted blades and scrapers made of HB500 wear-resistant steel with face-hardening on tips
  • 5 off. flanged round inlets
  • 1 off. flanged round vent port
  • 1 off. 60° total bomb-door discharge, flush-fit, with hydraulic cylinders and power unit
  • 1 off. inspection door with interlock
  • 1 off. pneumatic sampling device
  • Rev counter on driven side of main shaft
  • Separate drive, in line, with dual flexible pin coupling (for VFD control), complete with a 55 kW electric motor.

Key Benefits

  • Outstanding homogenisation of all ingredients
  • Ultra-short mixing times
  • Guaranteed reliability and repeatability of lots
  • High resistance to severe abrasion
  • Excellent return on investment
