Ploughshare mixer to be innovated and developed in foodstuff industry




Food is the most important part in our every people’s life. Bakery, spice seasoning, milk powder, flour and nutrition is what we need in daily life. Food safety is highly concered by goverment and every consumers. How to control the safety and what could influence it? Production is the first and preliminary part that every manufacturer shall take it into consideration. As for powder food, mixing is a key and final step before packing. So, the powder mixer has to be designed and manufactured to meet FDA and GMP requirement. Besides the normal rules in GMP requirement, Mixing Technology is developing and innovating better solutions for it. Firstly, we start from ploughshare mixer to be designed as shaft take out type.


In 2013, a food nutrition company Ghana found us to help them design a mixer solution for their new plant in China. Ghana is a leading global performance nutrition and ingredients group employing more than 5,800 people across 34 countries worldwide. In Europe, they use Italy brand ploughshare mixer
but they want to use chinese brand mixer in their china plant for localization. Cleaning and no contamination is the most important issue for Ghana and the project manager also want us to find a best solution for them to make mixer easy clean. Although it has cleanout door on the vessel of ploughshare mixer, it can not clean every corner and part inside mixer and it is also takes long time
to dry the mixer which affect working efficiency in daily production.


Through discussion in engineer team, we finally try to design the shaft of mixer which can be pulled out for cleaning and fast drying by air. Vortex Mixing Technology has done many experiment and innovated. First, we design screw rod and driven by gear motor to make shaft pulled out. In order to avoid plough shovels collide choppers, we install sensor on shaft and it could be stop at the same
position every time. However, the motor must be with brake in order to make shaft stop smoothly and without error. Furthermore, the sensor switch will also be installed on screw rod when the shaft pulled out at fixed position. Second, the shaft connection shall be coupling type which must be strong and stable. Third, in order to save space, the screw rod will be placed on top not bottom.

After many times test, this easy clean design type ploughshare mixer can save 2/3 effort on cleaning and drying. The worker just need to pull the shaft out and to use water jet to clean shovels. Then, using air to make water dry. Not only saving much time and labors, but also the mixer can be cleaned thoroughly. This new type mixer will be developed in more area like pharmaceutical and cosmetics. We believe that it will have a good market in near future and will be welcomed by many Europe customers.

Made in china dry mortar production line Working principle

dry mortar plant mix dry mortar production line Working principle Dry mixing machine designed into three layers inside and outside the spiral blades. When the machine work, inside and outside spiral turning, Internal screw drives the material near the axis to do the axis of rotation, steering on both sides to promote from within,the material being into the wall; The outside screw drive the material close to the wall do the axis of rotation, axial by both sides to promote, the material being into the internal gathered together, and make the ribbon agitator maximum range of turning in cylinder body , materials in the barrel convective circulation, shear mixing, complete material fast mixing in a short time. Characteristics of dry mortar plant mix  dry mortar production line : 1. adopt the screw conveyor to outtake the material, delivery speed is fast. 2. the way to connect material is flexible, Valve pocket and open pockets all can use. 3. save the purc...

Brief information of putty dry powder mortar mixing machine mixer

putty dry powder mortar mixing machine mixer It is widely used in food processing, chemical industry. It can mix many kinds of material especially for the powder and granule which is with stick or cohesion character, or add a little liquid and paste material into powder and granule material. This machine consists of two parts,feeding and stirring mixer. 1.The feeding part: the material feed in from the feed hopper, through the screw blade, to upgrade the material to the mixer to the mixer tank for mixing. 2. Mixing part: when the material feeds into the mixing tank, the outer ribbon make the material move from the sides to the center, and the inner ribbon moves the material from the center to the sides. So the material in the U-tank will get the complete mixing . Features  of  mixing machine 1. Horizontal tank body, covers small area 2. Bearing is on both ends of the mixer, the material is not easy to enter, repair rate is low. 3. Gear box drive the auger shaf...
