This Lodige FKM 2000D is a mixer and blender — sometimes referred to as a ploughshare mixer or paddle mixer — designed for the intensive blending of bulk solids, powders, and pastes across a wide range of industrial applications. Lodige is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing mixing and processing equipment for the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and construction materials industries.
The machine has a total working volume of 2,000 litres and is constructed in stainless steel grade 316 as declared in the listing name, while the seller's notes specify the vessel material as stainless steel grade 321 — a heat-resistant austenitic alloy well suited to demanding process environments. The heating or cooling jacket surrounding the vessel is fabricated from cast iron, allowing for temperature control of the mixing process where required.
The main drive motor is a Schorch unit rated at 55 kW, operating at 2,960 rpm on a 50 Hz supply with a voltage configuration of 400/690 V and a corresponding current draw of 94/55 A, giving a power factor of 0.89. Schorch is a recognised German manufacturer of industrial electric motors. The motor is paired with a reduction gearbox, which steps down the high motor speed to the operating speed appropriate for the mixing rotor.
The machine has been reconditioned and is offered used from its current location in Spain. Total net weight is approximately 3,700 kg, comprising roughly 2,060 kg for the mixer vessel and 1,640 kg for the motor and gearbox assembly. The unit dates from 1973.
