Blastcrete Equipment Company Upgrades 2200 Pan Mixer

February 5, 2015

Blastcrete Equipment Company has upgraded its 2,200-pound-capacity Pan Mixer for greater efficiency, easier maintenance and faster mixing speeds. The company designed the 2200 Pan Mixer specifically for refractory installations and manufacturing precast refractory shapes. It can mix up to one metric ton of refractory castable in two minutes or less. In addition, the mixer can be used for dry blending materials before water is added.

The new design increased the unit’s maximum mixing speed from 30 rpm to 45 rpm
A variable frequency drive allows users to adjust the unit’s mixing speed from 0 to 45 rpm in both forward and reverse
The upgraded design increases the pan mixer’s efficiency
To avoid the power loss that occurs when using hydraulics, the 40 hp electric motor couples directly to two gearboxes
An extension ring above the mixer was added to prevent material loss or spillage during loading or the mixing process
A Fill-Rite water meter and 20-gauge dousing bucket allow for quick and accurate water filling
A new bag ripper improves safety and efficiency by automatically opening bulk bags over the mixer
The mixer’s tubular-steel frame includes a 15 sq, ft, operator platform and a user-friendly control panel for easy operation
Blastcrete offers a platform mixer extension so that the customer can discharge the mixer at various heights
A 3 hp electric motor with a hydraulic power unit opens the bottom discharge door so material free flows into a pump or mortar pan to be transferred to a form
A hydraulically powered mixer tilt function allows the user to easily mix a batch as small as 200 lbs.
The tilt also allows for fast clean up
Blastcrete can customize the 2200 Pan Mixer to fit any voltage and hertz requirements, including those outside of the United States
