www.showes.com - S. Howes manufactures batch mixers with a choice of two agitator styles - our double ribbon or adjustable paddle types. Both styles have advantages and disadvantages. In this test we made a tomato sauce blend using both agitator styles and they both produced a homogeneous blend in a similar time, around one minute. One of our sales engineers would be happy to help you choose wh...

www.showes.com - S. Howes Knife Cutter is used here to quickly reduce the size of a dried food product. Multiple screen sizes were used effectively for a variable sized end result. Fast uniform cutting is accomplished by a series of rotary and fixed bed knives. A sizing screen is used to prevent oversized product from leaving the cutting area until the desired size has been obtained. Five model...

Lumpbreakers are designed to reduce softer and abrasive products such as filter cakes, food stuffs, chemicals, fertilizers and fly ash into sizes that can be further processed. They can be placed in-line to reduce materials into manageable sizes for conveyors and/or other process equipment, or as a stand-alone unit with customized support structures and feed options.

A customer came to S. Howes to coat a salt product quickly, thoroughly and with minimal product damage. Their product was fed into our continuous mixer and a colorant coating was hand sprayed to see how quickly the dye would completely coat the salt product, while keeping product breakage to a minimum. The customer was very pleased with the results as the product was completed coated in a matte...

A customer came to S. Howes to fix a problem they were having conveying sticky damp powders. They had tried a flexible screw conveyor and the flexible screw could not keep up with the rate they needed, feed material into the screw and the customer had concerns with the flex-screw conveyor shaving off parts of the conveyor and contaminating their food product. Our split tube conveyor, with an ag...

This test was performed at S. Howes' R&D facility to assess the feeding capabilities of corn mash in our inclined Split-Tube style conveyor. The corn mash flowed freely from the rectangular hopper into the feed opening, and then up the tube. Standard clearance on these models is 3/16". The hinged formed covers allow the tube to completely fill with product, mimicking the efficiency of a tubular...

S. Howes recently performed a test in our R&D facility to reduce the size of a block of solid cocoa liquor at ambient temperature, and then fully melt it for further processing. The block was successfully shredded in our #18 lumpbreaker and then was reduced to a more uniform particle size in our power grater. The smaller chunks were then fed into our thermal screw conveyor and melted using a lo...

S. Howes performed a size reduction test in our R&D facility to reduce a large solid block of cocoa butter into more manageable sizes to allow for further downstream processing. S. Howes lumpbreakers are built with a twin intermeshing shaft design, with a counter rotational drive to transmit power between the shafts. We offer five standard models with custom models to suit specific needs. Feel ...

S. Howes performed a powder mixing test in our R&D facility to assess the performance of our MCD-4 continuous mixer under various conditions, paddle orientations and speeds. The test was performed to demonstrate how mixing one ton/hr of two powders would be affected by six different setups of the machine. In the first test the mixer was run at 175 RPM with all the paddles in a forward mixing or...

www.showes.com - The Power Grater consists of a dust tight casing containing a paddle assembly that gently rubs the product to be reduced against a formed grating screen for clean, efficient reduction. Low paddle speeds of approximately 88 RPM for single speed models result in less fines.

www.showes.com - Our proven design provides a superior uniform mix, complemented by a robust construction. Over 16 standard models are available from 7 to 476 cu.ft. (3/4 full). Custom models available up to 1,500 cu.ft. Mixing is accomplished using either a ribbon or paddle agitator. The S. Howes Double-Ribbon Agitator, with the original reverse-spiral design, delivers uniform, high-capacity b...

www.showes.com - Batch mixer flanged journals allow for easy top removal of the agitator. Also they make possible sanitary construction with fully welded tanks and heads and radiused corners.

www.showes.com - Where simulation under various mixing conditions is required, S. Howes lab mixers are custom engineered to provide accurate, scale-up conditions prior to specifying or configuring production machines. Available from 1/3 to 4 cu.ft. working capacity, lab mixers can be furnished in carbon steel, stainless steel, or special alloys. Heating or cooling jackets are also available.

www.showes.com - Heat transfer is accomplished through contact with an external jacket (bolt-on or integral). To accomplish this, a variety of heating or cooling media may be used.
