Plow Batch Mixers

The Scott Plow Mixer's insightful design incorporates high intensity wedge-shaped plows to deliver a fluidized mixing zone. The mixer shaft operates at higher speeds than a traditional batch mixer and when incorporated with the cylindrical vessel design, delivers excellent mixing results.

Scott Equipment Company has developed a versatile mixer that a variety of process industries have come to rely on for their mixing requirements. This mixer is durably constructed with a horizontal mixing chamber. Cylindrical in shape, it has a solid shaft with the mixer elements welded or bolted to the support posts. The Plow Mixer is available with all of the necessary sanitary features to meet USDA, FDA and 3A requirements.

The fluidized bed created by the mixing agitator is ideal for mixing solids to solids, solids to liquids and liquids to solids. In applications where heating or cooling the product is desired, the fluidization created by the mixing action offers the product excellent surface area coverage on the mixer cylinder. This action greatly increases the efficiency of the unit to act as a drying or cooling vessel. These mixers are also available in mild or stainless steel and are manufactured in a complete sanitary design with steam heat, hot water heat or cold water jackets for cooling.

Plow Mixer Agitators

The Scott Plow Mixer utilizes overlapping wedge-style plows to deliver a fluidized mixing zone, separating and lifting the mixture in a three-dimensional motion, while the number and arrangement of the plows insure back and forth agitation along the length of the cylinder. The insightful design creates an ideal mixing bed for mixing solids to solids, solids to liquids and liquids to solids. In applications where heating or cooling the product is desired, the fluidization created by the mixing action offers the product excellent surface area coverage on the mixer cylinder, increasing the efficiency of the unit to act as a drying or cooling vessel.

Wedge-Style Plow Agitators

• High intensity wedge-shaped plows deliver a fluidized mixing bed
• Operates at higher speeds for excellent mixing results
• Ideal for solids to solids, solids to liquids and liquids to solids
• Excellent surface area makes the vessel ideal for heating and cooling applications
