PerMix Plow Mixers: Engineering Excellence in Performance

PerMix takes pride in designing and manufacturing the industry’s most advanced plow mixers. The performance of a plow mixer is heavily influenced by the precise design of the plow, particularly the pitch and the trailing edge. These critical design elements directly affect the efficiency, uniformity, and speed of the mixing process.

The Role of the Plow Pitch in Mixing

The pitch of the plows determines the movement and trajectory of the materials within the mixer. A well-designed pitch creates a dynamic mixing action that ensures:

• Efficient Mixing: Materials are lifted and folded, preventing stagnant zones and promoting thorough blending.
• Optimal Flow Patterns: The pitch ensures the material is distributed evenly throughout the mixing chamber, reducing mixing time.
• Adaptability: Different pitches can be engineered for specific applications, whether the focus is on gentle mixing for fragile materials or intensive dispersion for difficult-to-mix ingredients.

The Trailing Edge of the Plow: Key to Performance

The trailing edge of the plow, often overlooked, is just as critical as the pitch. This feature contributes to:

• Shearing Action: The shape and surface design of the trailing edge influence the plow’s ability to break apart agglomerates, ensuring homogeneity.
• Minimized Dead Zones: A well-engineered trailing edge ensures that materials are continuously moved and don’t accumulate in corners or hard-to-reach areas of the mixing vessel.
• Improved Flow Efficiency: It assists in directing material flow, preventing uneven distribution or buildup.

Why Not All Plow Mixers Are Created Equal

The performance of a plow mixer depends on more than just the power of its motor or the size of its chamber; the true differentiator lies in the design of the plow. PerMix plow mixers stand out because:

• Custom Engineering: Each plow mixer is tailored to specific applications, with plows designed to meet the unique requirements of different materials and industries.
• Precision Manufacturing: Our plows are crafted with tight tolerances to ensure consistent performance, batch after batch.
• Material Considerations: PerMix offers plows made from various materials, including stainless steel, Hardox, and more, ensuring compatibility with a range of processes, from abrasive to sanitary applications.
• Enhanced Mixing Dynamics: PerMix’s proprietary plow designs create superior flow patterns, reducing energy consumption while maximizing efficiency.

The PerMix Difference

PerMix’s engineering excellence is evident in every detail of our plow mixers. Our expertise in plow design ensures unparalleled mixing performance, whether you’re blending powders, pastes, or adding liquids to dry materials.

When it comes to plow mixers, the design of the plow is not just a feature—it’s the key to performance, and PerMix continues to lead the way in innovation and quality.
