This week’s photo shows a pugmill mixer from the FEECO Innovation Center, where our team of process experts conditioned an iron-based material. Conditioning typically refers to the act of mixing a material; this may be to prepare it for pelletizing, to reduce issues associated with …
Pugmill Mixers, also known as paddle mixers, are a type of continuous mixer used throughout many industries to carry out mixing, agglomerating, and conditioning of liquid and solid feed combinations. They have become indispensable in de-dusting fly ash, mixing copper concentrates for smelter production, and …
Today’s photo highlights a pugmill mixer under production at FEECO. The pugmill mixer will be used in animal feed production. The large, stainless steel cover is a fume hood for the acid reaction that will take place in the mixer. A small pipe is installed …
A pugmill mixer, or paddle mixer, is a horizontal, continuous industrial mixer used in a variety of applications for processing bulk solids to achieve a range of objectives. These rugged mixing units are highly flexible and have become an essential tool in many processes. They …
This week’s photo highlights a pugmill mixer, also known as a paddle mixer, in 3D. The image was created by FEECO’s CAD Specialists. Pug mills are comprised of two counter-rotating shafts fastened with pitched paddles. The paddles use a high-torque, kneading and folding over motion …
This week’s highlighted photo shows material being processed in a paddle mixer. The photo was taken at FEECO’s Innovation Center, located in Green Bay, Wisconsin (USA). Paddle mixers, also commonly referred to as pugmill mixers, work by utilizing two paddle shafts within a horizontal trough. …
Today’s photo highlights a set of replacement paddles for a pugmill mixer. Abrasive or corrosive materials may cause premature wear on paddles. Regular wear, over an extended period of time, may also serve as a reason to seek new paddles. No matter the reason, paddles …
The pugmill mixer is an incredibly diverse machine, lending itself to blending, conditioning, mixing, and agglomeration processes throughout a host of industries. While a well-designed and properly manufactured pugmill mixer is generally reliable, it is not immune to issue; changes in process conditions, the presence …
When it comes to mixing bulk solids, few industrial mixers can compete with the double-shaft pugmill mixer. Often chosen for its ability to create a homogeneous mixture from both wet and dry ingredients, the pugmill mixer offers a versatile solution capable of processing everything from …
This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile on pugmill mixers for copper concentrates. Pug mills are a critical piece of equipment in processing copper concentrates for smelting – so critical in fact, that many companies will purchase two at a time – one as …
