ROTARY DRUM MIXER FOR CERAMIC POWDERS

MRV600

The Challenge

For a major manufacturer operating in the ceramic sector, we were commissioned to supply two continuous rotary drum mixers, each with a processing capacity of up to 400 litres.

The mixers receive powder materials (pigments and oxides) with relatively similar physical and chemical characteristics. The primary objective is to guarantee a good homogenisation of the powders without compromising their structure or properties in any way, prior to the subsequent pressing stage.

The units must be engineered and manufactured according to exact dimensional and design specifications provided entirely by the client.

The MC² Solution
