EMMX-500: 500 Kg Capacity Plastic Granule Mixer

The EMMX-500 is a high-capacity, industrial-grade plastic granule mixer specifically designed for the plastic bag production industry. It is intended to mix different types of plastic materials, including PE granules, and additives like colorants or other chemical agents, to ensure a consistent blend before the extrusion process.

Technical Specifications & Features

1.      Screw Diameter: 150 mm

o    The mixer is equipped with a screw of 150 mm diameter. The screw is the key component responsible for mixing the plastic granules and additives. Its size ensures that there is enough surface area to effectively stir and blend the materials, preventing uneven mixing. A larger screw diameter is particularly beneficial for handling large quantities of granules (up to 500 kg in this case).

2.      Screw Pitch: 150 mm

o    The screw pitch refers to the distance between two adjacent threads of the screw. The 150 mm pitch is designed to provide a good balance between material transportation (feeding the granules from one end of the mixer to the other) and effective mixing. The pitch also helps in optimizing the flow rate of granules, avoiding clogging, and improving the overall efficiency of the mixing process.

3.      Screw Height: 2200 mm

o    The screw height is the length of the screw, which in this case is 2200 mm (2.2 meters). This allows for a larger mixing chamber, capable of handling a significant amount of granules at once. The height is designed to ensure that the materials are properly mixed as they are conveyed through the mixer. It also helps maintain consistent blending by ensuring the materials are continuously in motion for thorough mixing.

4.      Mixer Volume: 1,000 Liters

o    The mixer has a total volume of 1,000 liters. This gives it ample capacity for mixing large batches of plastic materials (up to 500 kg). The large volume ensures that even when dealing with a large quantity of granules, they can be adequately mixed with minimal risk of overloading the system. This is crucial for achieving uniform quality in the final product.

5.      Motor Power: 3 Hp (Horsepower)

o    The mixer is powered by a 3 horsepower motor. This motor is robust enough to provide the necessary torque to the screw, ensuring efficient mixing of the granules. The motor's power rating ensures that it can handle large loads of material, making it suitable for industrial-scale plastic production.

6.      Motor Speed: 1500 rpm (Revolutions per Minute)

o    The motor operates at a speed of 1500 rpm. This high speed is essential for generating sufficient mechanical force to rotate the screw efficiently. The combination of the motor speed and screw design allows the mixer to handle the materials effectively and achieve uniform mixing within a short period of time.

7.      Vee Belt Drive System

o    The mixer utilizes a Vee belt drive system. This system is known for its efficiency in transmitting power from the motor to the screw. The Vee belt helps absorb the mechanical load and reduces the risk of wear and tear on the system. It also provides smooth operation and the ability to handle high torque demands.

8.      Thermic Shalter on the Motor

o    The motor is equipped with a thermic shalter (thermal protection device). This safety feature ensures that the motor is protected from overheating, which can occur during continuous operation. If the motor exceeds a safe temperature threshold, the thermic shalter will automatically cut off power to prevent damage, extending the lifespan of the motor and the entire mixer.

9.      Loading-Charging Capacity: 500 kg PE Granule

o    The mixer is designed to handle 500 kg of PE (Polyethylene) granules per charge. This capacity ensures that large quantities of material can be processed in a single mixing cycle. PE granules are a commonly used plastic type in bag production, and this mixer is tailored to handle them efficiently.

10.  Loading-Charging Hopper

o    The mixer is equipped with a loading-charging hopper, which makes the loading process easy and efficient. The hopper design allows for quick and convenient unloading of PE granule bags into the mixing chamber. This simplifies the material handling process and improves productivity, especially in high-volume production environments.

11.  Unloading-Discharging Valve Lever

o    The unloading-discharge valve lever allows for easy discharge of the mixed granules once the mixing process is complete. The lever mechanism controls the flow of materials, enabling them to be directed into bags or containers. This feature provides flexibility in terms of where the mixed granules are delivered after mixing, reducing manual effort and improving overall workflow.

12.  Sponge-Type Powder Proof Valve Lever on Covers

o    The discharging section of the mixer, as well as its covers, are equipped with a sponge-type powder-proof valve lever. This design helps to prevent leakage of powder or granules during the mixing and discharging process, ensuring that the work environment stays clean and minimizing material waste. The sponge valve acts as a seal, preventing granule escape and reducing dust formation.

Summary of Benefits

·         High Capacity: Can handle up to 500 kg of PE granules at a time, making it suitable for large-scale production.

·         Efficient Mixing: The screw design, combined with motor power and speed, ensures thorough and uniform blending of materials.

·         Ease of Use: Features like the loading hopper and discharge lever make material handling simpler and faster, reducing labor costs and improving workflow efficiency.

·         Safety: The thermic shalter on the motor ensures that the system is protected from overheating, which extends the lifespan of the equipment.

·         Dust Control: The sponge-type powder-proof valve lever helps keep the working area clean by reducing dust leakage.

Overall, the EMMX-500 is an ideal solution for industries producing plastic bags or similar products, offering reliability, efficiency, and ease of use for high-capacity mixing applications.
