Disadvantages: low stirring uniformity, its stirring uniformity can only reach about 87%, long stirring cycle, low production efficiency. The output is about 500-1500 kg per hour. Unloading is incomplete, and there is often residue at the bottom of the barrel, leading to waste.

Horizontal screw belt mixer, the need to lift auxiliary feed, it is inside the screw belt, the outer screw belt will push the material from one end to the other end, the inner screw belt makes the material move in the opposite direction. Mixing more uniform, suitable for all kinds of materials.

The straw mixer is provided with two pairs of mixing plates inside the mixer. After the machine is turned on, the drum starts to run clockwise. One mixing plate pushes the material backward, and the other one pushes the material forward, and the mixing effect is achieved through circulation.
