MIXING

The High-Speed Sprag Mixers are used extensively for the production of potato snack, crackers, hard biscuits, rotary, wire cut, and pet food biscuit dough. The Unique Sprag beater design has greatly reduced the mixing times on all types of doughs. In most cases up to 40% reductions have been achieved. The beater design also allows the mixing of small batches in larger mixers without loss of mixing efficiency, which gives the machine even more flexibility.

The mixing drum can be arranged to suit various discharge angles up to 170º depending on the customer’s individual requirements.

The curved entablature, which forms the top of the Mixer, can be supplied to suit various options of dry and liquid ingredient feeds.
