Lancaster® Low Shear L-Series Mixers

What is Counter-Current Mixing?

Lancaster's® counter-current mixing action is widely accepted as the most effective technique for consistent uniformity and thoroughness. Simply stated, counter-current action occurs when the pan rotates in one direction, while the mixing tools rotate in the other. The rotating mixing pan conveys the material to the counter-rotating tool assembly located off-center of the pan. This results in countless cross-over of layers with maximum particle travel both vertically and horizontally, without depending on free fall.

Lancaster® L-Series Hi-Torque counter-current mixers are equipped with hi-torque, low shear, rotating plow blades that can have associated muller wheels. Equipping Lancaster® Mixers with muller assemblies imparts the kneading, rubbing, smearing action of a mortar and pestle along with the intensive mixing of the counter-current system.

Counter-Current Mixing Saves Time . . . Improves Product Quality

Look to Lancaster's® advanced techniques for mixing solids or solids with liquids. It could save you money, time and effort. Lancaster® Hi-Torque L-Series counter-current mixers will handle any materials from powder to paste - regardless of differences in particle sizes, shapes, weights and hardness.

Mixing Tools

Selection of the appropriate mixing tools depends on the characteristics of the materials. There is choice of mixing by plow action alone, or mixing with mulling action. Fork tines or cutters can be substituted for plows where required. Mullers are adjusted above the mixing pan bottom to clear the largest grain sizes and thus prevent particle size change or destruction. Lancaster® Mixers are not grinders.

We Can Adapt Any Model To Your Production Needs

Lancaster® Hi-Torque L-Series Mixers range in capacity from a minimum 1/20 cu. ft. for the Model PC to a maximum 80 cu. ft. for the Model 108. Select the one that best suits your particular requirements, then check the various accessories that are available.

Your mixer can be manual, fully automatic or a combination of both. It can be adapted to process dusty, abrasive, corrosive, highly viscous or explosive materials. It can be used for research, testing or production.
