Drum Mixer
A rotating drum mixer that tumbles bulk material, suited to gentle batch blending.
What it does
Process role
A drum mixer rotates a closed drum so the contents tumble and fold over one another. The action is gentle, which makes it a candidate for materials that should not be subjected to intensive mechanical agitation.
Configuration points
- Drum volume and fill level
- Drum orientation and rotation drive
- Loading and discharge opening design
- Internal baffles, where the material requires them
- Contact material and surface finish for the product
Inputs to share
- Material flow behaviour and sensitivity to shear
- Target batch size
- Gentle batch blending of free-flowing solids
- Blending of materials that should not be sheared
