Overview
The UCC Pin-Paddle Mixer/Unloader has a completely enclosed mixing chamber to ensure clean operation and is specifically designed to condition high calcium material. The pin-paddle design reduces buildup and maintenance frequency, time and expense.
Advantages
• Efficient, low maintenance drivetrain achieves required capacities while minimizing the required power consumption
• Fast, counter-rotating shafts and pins create turbulent mixing while lifting the material optimal wetting and mixing
• High penetration nozzles are located at the highest point of the cover to prevent plugging and are independently controlled to ensure precise water distribution while the nozzle pattern provides a uniform distribution of water for a homogeneous mix and functional dust suppression
• Cleaning chains reduce buildup on the pins and paddles during operation
• Patented floating shaft seal arrangement compensates for shaft defections while the self-adjusting, dust-tight seal eliminates the need to manually tighten packing glands, which extends the wear life of the packing.

Case study
A Midwest power plant was faced with the end-of-service life of three pin-paddle mixers that had been in service for almost two decades. After thoroughly assessing the mixers, UCC Environmental (UCC) presented the plant with an option to rebuild the existing mixers to like-new conditions. This option offered several advantages over purchasing new mixers, including a full warranty. The decision to rebuild the mixers proved to be a highly successful strategy, yielding several positive outcomes for the plant.
