Project Introduction

MRD Thailand is a Thai subsidiary of a Fortune 500 company. The company is a leading global provider of mining and specialty materials solutions. The customer required a equipment for dispersing ball clay, which has a maximum particle size of 300mm and the moisture content of about 10-20%. When the moisture content is below 10%, the ball clay appears dry and has high hardness. When the moisture content is greater than 20%, the ball clay appears viscous sludge and highly sticky. The raw materials contain solid particles such as small sand and small stones, and the situation of the raw materials is complex. The customer required a proper equipment to make all raw materials below 70mm as output size to meet the operational requirements of downstream equipment. This equipment is in the middle section of the entire production line with limited space occupied. Therefore, the structural design of the equipment needed to be compact to save space.

Project Description

Under restricted condition and complex raw material situations, the technical personnel of Henan Zhengzhou Mining Machinery Co.Ltd. was not afraid of difficulties. With the aim of providing customers with the best solution, we held multiple rounds of video conferences with Thai customers. Both sides discussed the working principles, equipment selection calculations, and related reasoning and argumentation of various equipment. And we remotely guided customers to conduct hardness and viscosity testing on the raw materials. In the end, both parties agreed to use a paddle mixer to process the raw material, and determined the core technical parameters such as the model, power, material of paddle mixer key parts, external dimensions, and main shift speed of the paddle mixer.By simulating layout, the paddle mixer had been arranged reasonably to meet the local site’s space.

Our professional and detailed technical solutions, as well as our patient technical Q&A, have ultimately won the trust and recognition of the customer. The customer had decided to purchase the paddle mixer from Henan Zhengzhou Mining Machinery Co.Ltd. Both sides had signed a contract for paddle mixer. As a serious and responsible attitude towards the client's project, we recommended the customer to send two tons of raw materials before the official fabrication of the paddle. 

Equipment Parameter

The material enters the tank of the paddle mixer through the feeding port, and a humidification device is installed behind the feeding port of the tank. Two rotating shafts with mixing blades rotate synchronously to continuously and uniformly push the material towards the discharge port, thereby completing the humidification, mixing, dispersion, and transportation of the material.
