Mixers

LCI offers two continuous devices for mixing liquid with powdered materials. Both the Pug Mixer and Kneader evenly distribute liquids into powders, making them ideal for continuous downstream processes that require consistent moisture levels.

The Continuous Kneader is a counter rotating twin shaft mixer (A). The Pug Mixer features twin counter rotating shafts equipped with specially designed paddles (B).

Dry powder is introduced into the mixer at a constant rate. Liquid is added to the moving dry powder through a drip bar or spray nozzle. Liquid and powder are intimately mixed, producing an extrudable mass, while being transported along the barrel toward the discharge.

Both units are constructed of stainless steel and can be equipped with variable speed drives.

Their rugged industrial design, coupled with the described features, make then ideal for wet granulation processes and provide years of trouble-free operation.

Batch mixing is also available. LCI can help you determine which mixer is best for your application.
