Lödige Ships 60-Ton Mixer

Lödige recently shipped its largest mixer ever – 11 meters long and weighing approximately 60 tons. The intensive mixer will operate in a steelworks in India. It will be used for the mixing and granulation of sinter material, which is necessary for the production of raw iron in blast furnaces. This process step will improve the homogeneity of sinter raw mixes that are composed of coarse and fine iron ore, limestone, and other materials. The mixer is designed to achieve up to 1350 tons of material per hour. The retention time of the product in the drum is 90 seconds. The machine runs in continuous operation day and night, as fresh supply for the blast furnace must be ensured at any time. Having a diameter of 3m and a length of 8m, the split design of the mixing drum allows for easy maintenance, reducing standstill time to one to two weeks a year.
