Pug Mills / Paddle Mixers: Design & Principles of Operation

Pug mills, also known as paddle mixers, are ideal for bulk mixing applications involving heavy materials like sludges. The design consists of a horizontal trough with dual shafts and pitched paddles that move material from the bottom up and back down the sides, creating a kneading effect for an intimate mixture. Applications include mixing, agglomeration, and conditioning of materials like fly ash, lime, sludge, and more. FEECO pug mills can be customized and offer optional components to suit processing needs.

PUG MILLS / PADDLE MIXERS

Design & Principles of Operation

The pug mill, also commonly referred to as a paddle mixer, is ideal for bulk mixing applications involving
heavy-duty materials such as sludges.

The pug mill design is based on a horizontal U-type trough with dual shafts and
paddles extending the length of the trough. The action of the pitched
paddles moves the material from the bottom of the trough up the middle,
and forces the material back down the sides. This creates a kneading
and folding over effect, which gives an intimate mixture of materials. A
liquid spray system for dispersing a binder may also be added for con-
ditioning and agglomerating applications.

Typical applications for the pug mill:

MIXING AGGLOMERATION CONDITIONING

FGD Scrubber Sludge Agricultural Chemicals Fly Ash


Fly Ash Fertilizers Cement or Lime Kiln Dust
Lime for SO2 Neutralization Pesticides Foundry Dust
Municipal Sludge Chemical Consumer Products Iron-Oxide
Pigments & Dyes Carbon Powders Friction Material Waste
Woodchips for Composting Flue Dust Lead Fume
Facilities Zinc Oxide

The Advantages of a FEECO Pug Mill


FEECO pug mills can be custom configured to suit your processing needs, and offer a variety of optional components.
Paddles can also be reversed to affect the mixing pattern. FEECO pug mills are heavy-duty and built to withstand tough
processing conditions.
