4. Extruded catalyst manufacturers

Lancaster mixers ensure uniform distribution of components in chemical catalysts, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of catalytic processes, especially in oil refining and industrial applications.

5. High Performance and Ultra High Performance Cements and Concretes

Lancaster K-Series mixers produce high-performance building materials, crucial for modern construction requiring exceptional strength and durability, ensuring consistent quality in demanding projects.

 

Custom Solutions to Meet Varied Industry Needs

Your product formulations are unique; your mixer should be too. In the world of industrial mixing, one size does not fit all. The diverse needs of various sectors demand tailored solutions that can effectively address specific challenges and requirements. Lancaster Products understands this fundamental principle and has positioned itself as a leader in providing custom mixing solutions across multiple industries.

Lancaster Products offers a wide array of modifications and customizations to ensure that each mixer is perfectly suited to its intended application. These customizations include:

  • Motor Size & Speed: Customizable motor size and speed, including low-speed, high-torque options tailored to specific process needs.
  • Controls: Process-dependent controls, adjustable for precise operation based on application requirements.
  • Rotor Configuration: Options for high-speed rotor configuration such as star or pin rotors to improve mixing or granulation outcomes. There are also options for multiple high-speed rotors in larger production mixers.
  • Rotor Motor Size: Independently controlled motors with custom configurations for mixing rotor, pan, and plow.
  • Rotor Quantity: Second rotor option available for K-6 and K-7 mixers; standard on K-8 and larger models.
  • Custom Input Porting: Tailored input ports with optional Weigh or Hand Add hoppers to match existing setups.
  • Mix Contact Materials: Variety of materials for wetted parts, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and optional linings like ceramic tiles or spray coatings.

These customizations allow Lancaster Products to address the unique needs of industries ranging from ceramics to display glass manufacturing, refractory materials production, fertilizer manufacturing, and additive manufacturing.
