Choosing the Right Horizontal Plough Shear Mixer
How to Choose1
Specify where the material contains agglomerates
Specify where the material contains agglomerates, fibres or cohesive fines, or where very short cycles are required.
2
Confirm the product tolerates chopper shear
Confirm the product tolerates chopper shear, and specify wear-protected agitators and liners for abrasive formulations.
3
Confirm with POLYC
Confirm contact materials and documentation (CE) with your order specifications.

Process Engineering
Working Principle
- 1
Plough-shaped agitators lift material into a fluidised state while high-speed choppers break agglomerates and disperse fibres or liquid binders.
- 2
The combination gives short mixing cycles and effective deagglomeration that convective mixers cannot achieve.
- 3
Because choppers add energy, parameters should be set so agglomerates are broken without over-processing the product.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mixing duties is the Horizontal Plough Shear Mixer designed for?
The Horizontal Plough Shear Mixer is built for Construction Chemicals, Battery Materials, Ceramics. It is selected when the batch has to be blended homogeneously without the shear damage a disperser would cause.
What viscosity range can it handle?
The working viscosity range follows the agitator geometry and drive torque. Product-contact parts are Carbon steel or stainless steel 304 / 316L.
How is mixing uniformity achieved?
The agitator geometry keeps the whole batch moving rather than only the zone around the shaft, so colour, filler and additive distribution stay consistent from batch to batch.
What capacity range is available?
Capacity is 100 - 6,000 L, with motor power 7. Vessel size is matched to the batch and the available floor space.
What discharge and cleaning options are available?
Bottom discharge, side discharge and hydraulic discharge arrangements are offered, with vacuum and jacket options where the formulation requires them.

What manufacturers say about working with POLYC MACHINE
These summaries reflect published application cases. Company names and roles are representative of the industries we serve.
“
The plaster and wall-material production line supplied by POLYC MACHINE integrated premixing, milling and transfer in one compact route. We reached consistent fineness across batches, and the local technical line made after-sales support responsive.
“
For our short gravure-ink runs, the small-batch grinding and dispersion route from POLYC MACHINE gave repeatable colour and fast changeover. The trial plan proposed before manufacture confirmed our fineness window without over-specifying the machine.
“
Our 1000L basket mill from POLYC MACHINE handles pigment and ink batches with the temperature control we needed for heat-sensitive formulations. Across multiple sites, the consistent basket-mill configuration simplified operator training and spare-parts planning.
