DRY POWDER BATCH MIXER 4 BHS Dry Powder Batch Mixer (DMX) Twin-shaft mixing technology is suitable for all formulas and offers a wide range of benefits. The mixing procedure has a significant effect on the quality of the mixture produced and the economic efficiency of the production process.

Generating valuable products Consistent and reliable mixing results Thanks to a proven design and arrangement of the mixing tools, you will achieve consistent, homogenous mixtures batch after batch in less time. Advantages of the twin-shaft principle Compared with single-shaft mixers, twin-shaft mixing technology offers significantly better mixing within short mixing cycles. The sophisticated mixing mechanism based on directed three-dimensional mixing movement means that the mixer speed can be much slower compared to single-shaft or intensive mixers, while still producing a better mixing...

FUNCTION AND MIXING CONCEPT 6 ADVANTAGES OF THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL MIXING CONCEPT Unlike single-shaft systems, which move the mixture to the center of the machine, the three-dimensional mixing concept of the twin-shaft batch mixer produces a more intensive exchange of materials, leading to short mixing times while consuming less energy. BHS spiral mixing tools » Mixing tools arranged on each mixing shaft in the form of an interrupted spiral » Two counter-rotating mixing shafts with the mixing tools overlapping in the longitudinal center of the mixer » Counter blades positioned at the ends of...

RETROFITTING AND MODERNIZATION OF EXISTING MIXING PLANTS 7 www.bhs-sonthofen.com MODIFICATION OF MIXING PLANTS We have years of experience and comprehensive expertise when it comes to retrofitting existing mixing plants. The Dry Powder Batch Mixer is ideal when retrofitting in tight spaces thanks, to its compact design. As an added benefit, the use of a high-performance Dry Powder Batch Mixer can significantly increase the throughput rate of the plant. Installing a mixer with a higher performance and bigger capacity as well as adjusting the weighing system, dosing and control system can...

SOPHISTICATED AND PROVEN DRIVE TECHNOLOGY High level of operational reliability, energy efficiency and durability Gearbox 1 BHS worm gears boast maximum operational reliability and a long service life, even under extreme loads. The gearboxes are slipped on the mixing shafts without rigid connection to the mixing trough The selected material pairing allows BHS worm gearbox to compensate the load changes that occur each time the mixer is filled. Electric motor 2 Our twin-shaft batch mixers are equipped exclusively with high-quality motors. They are specifically designed for the load cycles...
