Munson adds abrasion-resistant mini mixers

Jan. 29, 2024
They can blend aggregates, metal powders, pigments, reinforced thermoplastics and other abrasive materials.

Rotary batch mini mixers Munson Machinery’s rotary batch mini mixers are available in six models with maximum batch capacities ranging from 0.25 cubic foot to 15 cubic feet. Each is equipped with a large access door and swing-away intake chute. The proprietary mixing flights welded to the rotating drum gently tumble, turn, cut and fold the material to produce homogenous blends with no shear. The mixers are suitable for laboratory testing, pilot production and documenting of outcomes when scaling up to larger rotary batch mixers. 

What’s new? Abrasion-resistant versions. For example, Munson announced its MX-10-AR mixer, with a 10-cubic-foot capacity, is available with abrasion-resistant steel on its wear surfaces and welded internals, including the mixing flights.  

Benefits Fast, efficient blending of abrasive materials. The blenders can blend aggregates, metal powders, pigments, reinforced thermoplastics and other abrasive materials, with or without liquid additions, in ratios down to one part per million with total uniformity in 2 to 3 minutes.
