Used Munson CM-72x20 Rotary Continuous Mixer – 72" Diameter x 20' Long Drum, 10 HP

Manufacturer Information

Munson Machinery Company

Munson Machinery manufactures industrial mixing, blending, size-reduction, and bulk-solids processing equipment. Its rotary continuous mixers are designed for high-volume, continuous blending of powders, granules, pellets, flakes, and other free-flowing bulk materials. These systems use a rotating drum to achieve uniform mixing while providing relatively gentle product handling and continuous throughput.

Description

Available for sale is a used Munson Machinery Model CM-72x20 rotary continuous mixer, built in 2021.

This heavy-duty industrial mixer features an approximately 72" diameter x 20' long rotating mixing drum designed for continuous processing of compatible powders, granules, flakes, pellets, and other bulk solids.

Unlike batch mixers, the CM-72x20 is designed for a continuous product flow, allowing ingredients to enter the mixer while uniformly blended material is discharged at the opposite end. This configuration can be particularly beneficial for high-volume processes where consistent production and short residence times are important.

The rotating-drum design provides gentle yet uniform blending, making the mixer suitable for materials that can be damaged or degraded by more aggressive mixing methods. It can also offer relatively low power consumption for its physical size and processing capability.

The drum is driven by a 10 HP, 1,755 RPM motor rated for 3-phase, 60 Hz, 230/460V electrical service.

Potential industries include food processing, chemicals, minerals, fertilizers, plastics, pigments, agricultural products, and specialty bulk materials.
