Plough Shear Mixer
Plough Shear Mixer has a horizontal cylindrical shape with flate end plate. The main Shaft passes through the axis of the vessel & is supported at the plates in specially designed bearing housing. The Plough Shear Mixing elements are arranged concentrically on the main shaft. The clearance between the ploughs & shell wall is minimum, to facilitate beer mixing.
Working Principle
The mixer consists of a cylindrical shell, fitted with series of ploughs rotated on the central shaft which incorporates ploughing moon. This pattern result in collisions & blending of both dry & wet material. Plough Shear Mixer is long term operation for various application like mixing, grinding, dispersion etc. Mulple Choppers are fitted on the mixing vessel between ploughs. Choppers can be with multiple blades or simple depending on the application. They prevent lump formation & beer mixing. For controlling the mixing, the Chopper motor can be switched on hand of independently.
Nozzles
Generally a feed inlet nozzle is provided at the top of the mixer with quick opening lid Rotary valve, Butterfly valve etc. can be provided depending on application. Discharge nozzle is provided at the boom of shell for discharging wet or dry material Operation of Discharge door shall be operated manually. This can be pneumac or hydraulic depending on application. Besides this one or more flate type inspection doors can be fixed, on the front side of the mixer.
Jacket
Blender can be designed with jacket or without jacket for heating or cooling application Vacuum / Pressure The Equipment can be designed for pressure & vacuum application where is solid/Liquid/gas phase reaction can be carried out.
Drive
Fluid Coupling is fitted in between motor & gear box to prevent shock loading on gear box prevents the drawing of large current by the motor & damage to the drive elements due to frequent starting & stopping of motor.
Control Panel
On off switching for plough & Chopper, Ammeter, Voltmeter, Temperature indicator, pressure Indicator, Audio Visual Alarm are housed in the panel.

Construction
We manufacture three point suspension under driven centrifuges viz. MANUAL TOP DISCHARGE, BOTTOM DISCHARGE & BAG LIFTING TYPE in Material of construction Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel and M.S.Rubber lined. Centrifuges are basically used for solid liquid separation. The Main Parts of Centrifuges are Bearing & Shaft, Basket, Drive & Brake.
Bearing & Shaft
The Bearing used are heavy duty to withstand vibratory load and centrifugal forces. The bearing housing is made of Cast Steel duly machined to close tolerance ensuring longer maintenance free performance. The shaft is made of EN grade material and is balanced independently without basket for higher accuracy.
Basket
The Basket made from MS / SS sheet of adequate thickness to withstand the material load and centrifugal forces. The Basket is uniformly perforated and duly balanced. The Bottom of Basket is made up of Mild Steel and lined at the inner surface with SS or Rubber as required.
Drive
The Drive consists of Motor mounted at the Basket castiing driven through V belt with provision of tensioning the Belts. The Centrifuges are fitted with Mechanical Clutch Pulley at the Motor Shaft.
Brake
The Centrifuge is fitted with external Shoe Brake with brake liners.
Four Point Suspension Centrifuge
Manual Top Discharge
In a manual top discharge centrifuge, the solid material is scooped out manually from the top of the centrifuge.
Drive
The drive consists of Motor mounted on inertia plate driven through V Belt totally closed
