Continuous twin shaft mixers are excellent for effective mixing. The effective mixing is one of the features and benefits of continuous twin shaft mixers by Atlas. We use these mixers in Atlas wet mix macadam plants that we manufacture up to 300 tph. Wet mix macadam plants are also known as soil stabilization plants. They are used for producing soil stabilization material which is used for laying on the road. This is used prior to laying of hot mix asphalt where the soil is soft. It will give the desired support to the hot mix asphalt.
The combination of different sizes of aggregates along with water and a small percentage of cement will be mixed in this mixer. This mixing is done in a continuous manner. At one end of the mixer material will be added and it gets out from the other end of the mixer. Hence this is a continuous mixer.
