Products Description
Need a high-speed, versatile mixer for powders, granules, or pastes with consistent homogeneity?
Guanjiang's SHDH Series Horizontal Plowshare Mixer delivers rapid, high-quality blending through its unique plow-shaped agitator design. The multi-directional motion — rotation, shearing, and dispersion — achieves uniform mixing in short cycle times for a wide range of materials. With capacities from 0.05 to 30m³, options for choppers (high-speed dispersers), and robust construction, it's the ideal solution for chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and battery material processing.
Key Advantages

Customizable with choppers, liquid spray systems, and automation. Explosion-proof and GMP-compliant designs available.
From 50L lab units to 30,000L production models — scale from R&D to full production.
How It Works: Plowshare Mixing Principle
Multi-Directional Plow Agitation: The horizontal cylindrical vessel contains specially designed plow-shaped tools mounted on a rotating shaft. As the shaft rotates, the plows create a fluidized bed — lifting, tossing, and shearing material with high intensity.
Key Motion Components:
- Plow Agitators: Multiple plow-shaped blades create axial and radial flow, moving material in three dimensions.
- Choppers (Optional): High-speed cutters mounted on the side break agglomerates, disperse liquids, and accelerate homogenization.
- Intensifier Bars: Used for additional shearing and mixing of high-viscosity pastes.
The combination of mechanical fluidization and shearing achieves rapid, uniform mixing — typically within 2-10 minutes depending on material properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between a plowshare mixer and a ribbon blender?
A: Plowshare mixers use high-speed plow-shaped tools that create a fluidized bed — faster mixing (2-10 minutes), better for fragile materials, and can handle pastes and sticky materials. Ribbon blenders use slower, continuous spiral agitation — better for gentle, long-cycle blending of free-flowing powders. Choose plowshare for high-speed, intensive mixing and ribbon for gentle, low-shear blending.
Q2: When do I need to use the chopper (high-speed disperser)?
A: Chopper units are essential for: breaking agglomerates (lumps, clumps), dispersing liquids (wet granulation, coating), and accelerating mixing of difficult materials. Use choppers when mixing sticky, cohesive, or fiber-reinforced materials.
Q3: Can the SHDH mixer handle high-viscosity pastes or wet materials?
A: Yes. The plow design is specifically engineered for pastes, wet cakes, and high-viscosity materials. The fluidized bed action and optional choppers provide intense shearing and dispersion, making it ideal for wet granulation, dough mixing, and viscous paste blending.
Q4: How do you clean the mixer between batches?
A: For sanitary applications, we offer SS316L construction with electropolished interior (Ra<0.4μm). The horizontal design with large access doors allows easy manual cleaning. For automated cleaning, an optional CIP (Clean-in-Place) system with spray nozzles is available.
Q5: What safety features are available for the SHDH mixer?
A: Standard safety features include interlocked access doors (prevents operation when open), emergency stop buttons, and overload protection. For hazardous environments, we offer ATEX-certified configurations with explosion-proof motors and anti-static grounding.
