Paddle Mixers

The FEECO International Paddle Mixer is a horizontal mixing, conditioning and agglomerating device. Its design is based on a horizontal – U – type trough with dual shafts and paddles extending the length of the trough. The action of the pitched paddles moves the material from the bottom of the tough up each side and forces the material back down between the shafts. This will create a kneading and folding over effect, which will give an intimate mixture of materials. Where the paddle mixer is used for conditioning or agglomerating, a liquid spray system is added for dispersing the binder. Typical applications of this mixture are:

Mixing: FGD scrubber sludge, fly ash, and lime for SO2 neutralization, municipal sludge and woodchips for composting facilities and other processes combining moist and dry feed materials.

Agglomeration: Granulation of agricultural chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, chemical consumer products, carbon powders, flue dust from dust collectors, pigments and dyes.

Conditioning: Fly ash, cement or lime kiln dust, foundry dust, iron-oxide, friction material waste, lead fume, zinc oxide.
