UTICA, NY — A new GB-35-ARL Rotary Batch Mixer for glass mix/cullet, sand, ceramics, refractories, aggregates and other dry bulk abrasive materials achieves total uniformity in one to three minutes in batches from 5 to 35 cu. ft. (0.14 to 1 m3), regardless of particle sizes, shapes, bulk densities or ingredient ratios.
The mixer's drum is supported on each end by trunnion rings, eliminating the need for internal shafts, bearings, seals and related maintenance. As it rotates, proprietary mixing flights tumble, fold, cut and turn the material, while elevating the batch toward a stationary plug gate valve for discharge with no segregation or residual material in the vessel.
All internal wear surfaces including lifters, baffles and inlet/outlet chutes are fabricated of hardened steel and secured with bolts for rapid replacement.
The unit's stationary inlet and outlet allow inline operation and continuous rotation during loading and unloading, further reducing cycle times.
A large side door provides access to all material contact surfaces which, together with the absence of residual material, allows rapid cleaning.
Rotary Batch Mixer GB-35-ARL blends abrasive materials in batches from 5 to 35 cu. ft. (0.14 to 1 m3) with equal efficiency in one to three minutes.
Stationary inlet and outlet allow inline operation and continuous rotation during loading and unloading.
