This week’s photo highlights material processed in a pugmill mixer. Pug mills, also known as paddle mixers, are industrial mixers used to condition, mix and agglomerate materials often in the presence of a binder. The pugmill mixer’s dual shafts with pitched paddles create a kneading …
In the copper production via smelting process, pugmill mixers are used for mixing and conditioning. Pug mills are highly proficient at combining both solid and liquid feeds into a homogenous mixture, and are therefore an ideal mixing device in the smelting process. Numerous components are …
This week’s photo highlights a pugmill mixer. FEECO’s Assembly Team is currently constructing the machine at our Fabrication Facility in Green Bay, WI (USA). A pugmill mixer, also known as a paddle mixer, is a horizontal mixing, conditioning, and agglomerating device ideal for processing heavy-duty …
The challenges presented by the handling of material fines is an issue faced across many industries. Whether working with fertilizers, ores, or coal, materials which are difficult to handle, or dusty, can benefit greatly from agglomeration. Because there are many processes by which a material …
