The LCI Pug Mixer features twin counter rotating shafts equipped with specially designed paddles. This high efficiency dispersive mixer evenly distributes liquids into powders, making it ideal for continuous downstream processes that require consistent moisture levels.
The Pug Mixer's rugged industrial design coupled with the described features, make this device ideal for wet granulation processes and allow it to provide years of trouble-free operation.
Dry powder is introduced into the Pug Mixer at a constant rate. Liquid is added to the moving dry powder through a drip bar or spray nozzle. Liquid and powder are intimately mixed by special mising paddles on each shaft, producing an extrudable wet mass. The twin shafts rotate outward (or inward if required), transporting material along the barrel toward the discharge.
