Chemical manufacturing covers a wide spread of behaviours — free-flowing salts, cohesive pigments, heat-sensitive additives, corrosive intermediates. What the equipment has in common is that it has to survive them, and that the batch has to be containable rather than merely ventilated.
We build chemical-duty mixers in SS304, SS316L or carbon steel, with ATEX configurations for combustible dust, liquid injection for coating and granulation, wear-resistant liners and sealed bearing arrangements. Batch sizes run from 100 L pilot units to 4,000 L production vessels.
ATEX, wear protection and sealing
Explosion protection
Explosion-proof motors, conductive grounding, nitrogen inerting and pressure-relief panels for combustible dust environments, documented against the dust classification you provide.
Wear protection
Hardfaced agitators, ceramic-lined troughs and replaceable wear strips for pigments, minerals and other abrasive materials.
Sealed construction
Purgeable shaft seals and labyrinth-plus-lip arrangements, with inert gas blanketing where the material must not meet air.
Heating and cooling
Steam, thermal-oil or water jackets for reaction, drying or cooling steps, integrated into the trough rather than bolted on afterwards.
Chemical industry applications
Pigments, dyes and colorants
High-intensity plough mixing with spray nozzles for liquid pigment dispersion; ribbon mixing for dry pigment blends.
Fertilizers and agrochemicals
NPK blending, micronutrient coating and controlled-release granulation in plough and double paddle mixers with liquid addition.
Detergents and cleaning products
Powder detergent blending, enzyme incorporation and fragrance spraying, with a spray bar sized for even distribution.
Flame retardants
ATH, magnesium hydroxide and brominated compounds in heavy-duty ribbon and plough mixers with wear-resistant construction.
Masterbatch and compounds
Polymer and additive pre-mixing, carbon-black dispersion, with heated jackets for masterbatch preparation.
Water treatment chemicals
PAC, activated carbon, lime and coagulants in large-capacity ribbon mixers, with dust collection at every transfer point.
Chemical-grade equipment
Plough Shear Mixer (LDH)
Fluidised high-intensity mixing with liquid injection for coating, agglomeration and reaction steps. 50 L to 4,000 L.

Frequently asked questions
Which mixer handles corrosive material?
SS316L covers most corrosive powders; beyond that we quote PTFE-lined or special-alloy contact parts with mechanical seals. Send the chemistry and we will say what we would and would not put in the product zone.
Can you build explosion-proof machines?
Yes. ATEX-rated motors and controls, conductive grounding and nitrogen inerting are specified against the dust classification (St1/St2/St3) you provide.
What about abrasive pigments?
Wear-resistant contact parts, replaceable liner plates and heavy-duty bearings. On pigment duty we usually quote the liner as a consumable with a known replacement interval.
Need chemical processing equipment?
Tell us the material, batch size and any compliance or containment requirement. We will come back with the configuration we would build and the questions we would ask before quoting.
