This Lödige FKM 1600 D is a mixer and blender — sometimes referred to as a plough shear mixer or powder mixer — used for mixing, blending, and homogenising bulk solids, powders, and granulates. Lödige is a well-established German manufacturer with decades of experience producing industrial mixing equipment for the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and related process industries, and their machines are widely used wherever consistent, high-quality blending of bulk materials is required.
The unit is built in stainless steel grade L), making it suitable for applications where material purity and corrosion resistance are important. The total vessel volume is 1,600 litres, with a usable working capacity of between 400 and 1,200 litres, allowing the machine to handle a wide range of batch sizes within a single unit. The trough dimensions are 1,100 mm in diameter by 1,600 mm in length. The mixing shaft rotates at 119 rpm and is driven by a 22 kW motor running at 380 V and 1,465 rpm.
The mixer is equipped with T-arms, which are the characteristic mixing elements used in this type of machine to achieve intensive radial and axial movement of the batch material. The machine features two top inlet connections — one of 250 mm diameter and one of 450 mm diameter — providing flexibility for feeding different materials or attachments. Discharge is through an outlet of 330 mm diameter at the base of the trough. Two inspection hatches are fitted, giving access to the interior for inspection and cleaning. The unit is also equipped with adjustable packing glands to maintain sealing integrity around the shaft entry points.
The overall footprint of the machine is 1.6 metres in length, and the total height is 1.4 metres, making it a relatively compact installation for the volume it handles. This used machine dates from 1980 and is located in Barneveld, Netherlands, carrying serial number 9640.
