S. Howes Paddle Mixers (Pug Mills) provide continuous, uniform mixing and blending of liquids and dry ingredients. The mixing action of the patented adjustable solid or loop-type paddles on the agitator shaft is gentle and free-flowing /non-plugging, coating products without beating the ingredients to ensure uniform absorption of liquids throughout the mix. Paddle mixers are available in Simplex (single agitator shaft) and Duplex (twin agitator shaft) models. Capacities range from 5 to 40 tons per hour; custom designs for higher capacities are also available.
