DAVIS Mixing Agitators

DOUBLE RIBBON AGITATOR

Davis Mixing Agitators:  Each is designed for a specific group of ingredients. If you'll provide us a complete list of the items you plan to mix, we will be glad to help you select the agitator best suited to your particular need. Furthermore, we have Davis Mixers at our plant strictly for the purpose of blending items sent in by prospective buyers. At no cost or obligation, we will mix your specific ingredients and send samples to the laboratory of your choice for analysis. Make no mistake about it, Mixing is serious business which leaves little or no room for error. Anyone who suggests that one mixing system is ideal for every application either lacks the necessary experience needed to make a recommendation, or even worse ... may be misleading you.

HD-60

The ribbon agitator is our most efficient agitator. It excels in applications where small amounts of ingredients (also known as micro-ingredients) are added to the batch. 

All of the material in the mixer is constantly circulated from end to end. The outer ribbons move ingredients toward the discharge while the inner ribbons constantly circulate material in the opposite direction. Sweeps may be added to the outer ribbon to enhance cleanout. Center and End discharge ribbon agitators are available.

Center Discharge Ribbon Agitator

The two outer ribbons bring material to the center of mixer's tank while the inside ribbons move ingredients back to each end. Sweeps may be added to the outer ribbons to provide better cleanout.

The ribbon is strictly designed to mix free flowing ingredients including plastics, chemicals, colorings, lubricants, insulation and fire retardant, it is a must for fine powders.  In the feed industry, it is used for mixing feed for pork and poultry, premixes and mineral mixes containing vitamins, trace minerals and medications. This agitator is also generally used when the product to be mixed is for human consumption due to its efficiency and mixing accuracy. We distinctly like its inherent mixing action for blending; donut mixes, all purpose flour, corn meal, ice cream powder, cake and biscuit mixes, spices and cures. It's also an excellent mixing system for; dog food, bird and grass seed, and insecticides.

"The Most versatile Agitator We Build."

This is the most versatile agitator we build. It contains an equal number of forward and reversing paddles which constantly move the ingredients from one end of the mixer's tank to the other. Paddles, which move material toward the outlet, are fitted to within 1/8" of the bottom of the tank. Furthermore, they're adjustable to assure optimum clean out as well as compensate for wear. The agitator's reversing paddles are located several inches from the bottom of the tank. This provides 3 distinct advantages. Because forward and reversing action occurs on different planes the ingredients are able to flow easier and faster from end to end. The result is better circulation and faster mixing with less power required for operation. Unloading is also faster and clean out more thorough due to the fact only the forward paddles come in contact with the material in the tank when the last part of the load is being discharged. Furthermore there's no interference caused by the reversing paddles attempting to move the material away from the outlet. The result is reduced unloading time and more thorough clean out than was previously possible. 

Another distinct advantage of this agitator is its ability to precision mix small batches. The mixer may be loaded to only 20% by volume without affecting mixing accuracy. Consequently, a larger mixer may also be employed to mix an occasional small batch without sacrificing mixing accuracy. 

This agitator is excellent for mixing both wet and dry ingredients. It's recommended for mixing heavy, resistant items such as fertilizers, plaster, chemicals, vitamins and minerals, detergents, sweeping compounds, drywall products and caulking, as well as coffee, teas, and soil mixes. 

Our paddle agitator is also extensively employed in the feed manufacturing industry mixing feed rations for; pork, poultry, cattle, dairy, horses and sheep with and without liquid molasses and fat.

BUILT TO FIT YOUR JOB.  NOT JUST TO SELL!

SAWTOOTH PADDLE AGITATOR

This agitator is very similar to our paddle agitator except for one basic difference.  The agitator's forward paddles have notches or saw teeth cut in them to prevent a pinch point from occurring between the paddles and the bottom of the mixer's tank.  These serrations relieve the strain on both tank and agitator, which could occur when a high percentage of non-free-flowing materials is being mixed.  They're also very helpful with fraiable (or easily broken) materials such as dog and cat food, bird and grass seed, soil mixes containing peat, vermiculite, chemicals, fertilizer, micro-nutrients, as well as sand, soil, bark, wood chips and styrofoam.

Sawteeth not only cut down the pinch point between paddle and tank, which makes handling these items easier, they also provide a much gentler mixing action which prevents unnecessary damage to these valuable ingredients.  In this way the integrity of the mix is maintained and protected.  The agitator's reversing paddles are attached to posts, which are shorter.  This provides mixing action in the center of the agitator, which is absolutely necessary to blend rations that contain high percentages of ingredients that are not free flowing.
