The 2,200-pound Capacity Pan Mixer

Words: Dan KamysThe 2,200-pound Capacity Pan Mixer from Blastcrete Equipment Co. is a hydrostatic batch mixer designed for refractory installations and precast refractory shapes manufacturing. Featuring the capability of ½-inch aggregate and mix time of two to three minutes, this pan mixer is able to mix up to one-metric ton of refractory castable.

The Pan Mixer is designed for safe and easy operation, with a 15-square foot operator platform that includes a user-friendly control panel for mixing and material discharge operations. The bottom discharge features a hydraulically-activated sliding door, allowing material to be quickly discharged from the mixer, where it is carried to a pump or transported into a mold. Material discharge height is variable up to 72 inches, thanks to adjustable telescoping legs.

Standard with a 40-HP electric motor with starter and disconnect, the pan mixer can be customized with voltage and Hz options.
