The glass industry now has a second mixer option that won’t sacrifice performance for capacity: the Planetary from GlassMASTER. It is a fast, efficient machine suited to the very kinds of materials used in glass production. Counter-current mixing action achieves a homogeneous mix in five to six minutes, moving material from top to bottom and opposite the direction of the paddles for thorough blending. Long-wearing and high-performing components are essential features in an industry that rarely shuts down. Throughput of 10 to 80 tons/hour and a capacity range of .5 to 4.5 cubic yards meet the demands of high-volume operations.
