Plough Mixers

The Kek-Gardner “PE” Series Horizontal Plough Mixer is a
high shear, high energy, high speed batch mixer.

This machine has a short aspect ratio mixing vessel and a
high speed plough agitator to provide fast and effective
mixing, with aggressive action. Action of Plough agitator

Further energy can be added by use of high speed intensifier
units for mixing powders with liquids and semi-dry solids.

Available in working capacities of 40 - 10,000 litres. The “PE”
Series Mixer is designed with cleanliness and hygiene in
mind.

Stirred Bunkers

Essentially a Ribbon Mixer with an agitator rotating at just
a few rpm to keep premixed material “live”. Available in
working capacities of 50 - 10,000 litres.

Topping up from a batch Mixer and continuously taking
away product from a stirred bunker is an alternative means
of providing a continuous supply of mixed product. It also
allows checking of each batch before it is discharged into
the bunker guaranteeing consistent product quality.

Processors and Reactors

A custom built range of Processors and Reactors, 50 -
5,000 litres capacities based on the range of horizontal
Mixers with either ribbon or plough type agitators. Suitable
for chemical reactions, sterilising, drying, heating and
cooling; each unit is designed and manufactured to meet
specific process requirements.

Heating and cooling jackets can be applied to trough
exteriors. Processors built to withstand high pressures
and vacuum applications will be constructed in accordance
with PED and ASME requirements.

Typical Applications for Plough Mixers Typical Applications for Processors

Powder & semi-dried solids mixing Spice mixes Chemical reactions Drying filter cakes
Pharmaceutical powders Agrochemicals Sterilising Slurry mixes
Breaking down agglomerates Extending colours Vacuum drying
Addition of oils liquids into powders
Heating / cooling at above or below ambient conditions
