Case Study: Turnkey Wall Putty & 5000L Concentric Dual Shaft Mixing Line for Argentine Client
Case Study: Turnkey Wall Putty & 5000L Concentric Dual Shaft Mixing Line for Argentine Client
A prominent chemical and building materials manufacturer in Argentina partnered with Shanghai POLYC Technology to engineer and supply two complete industrial production lines. The project scope encompasses high-viscosity architectural wall putty (viscosity ~50,000 cps), industrial coatings, decorative paints, and heavy paste sealants. By working in close technical collaboration with the client's plant engineering team, POLYC customized every operational detail—from custom helical butterfly agitator blades to a synchronized, signal-interlocked hydraulic extrusion and bucket filling system that eliminates paste dripping and material waste.
| Project Dimension | Engineered Technical Configuration (Argentina Site) |
|---|---|
| Production Line 1 | High-Viscosity Wall Putty Line (~50,000 cps): 2 sets of custom Butterfly Mixers with spiral blades, 1 heavy-duty Hydraulic Extrusion Press, and 2 synchronized Bucket Filling Machines. |
| Production Line 2 | Large-Scale Coating & Paste Line: 1 set of 5000L Concentric Dual Shaft Mixing Reactor (PCM-5000) + 2 sets of High-Viscosity Cartridge Tube Filling and Sealing Machines. |
| Target Products | Architectural wall putty, high-build anti-corrosive coatings, water-based paints, and cartridge sealants. |
| Key Automation Feature | PLC Signal Interlock: Hydraulic press follower plate and filling nozzle operate synchronously, auto-stopping upon target weight to prevent leakage. |
| Electrical Integration | 380V / 50Hz, 3-Phase, direct-drive high-torque motors with VFD dynamic speed regulation. |
1. Production Line 1: 50,000 cps Wall Putty Mixing & Synchronized Hydraulic Packaging
Processing dense architectural putty (~50,000 cps) requires intense macro-mixing combined with reliable mechanical discharge. Standard agitators often generate localized cavitation without vertical turnover, while gravity filling leads to massive line blockages. POLYC delivered a fully synchronized solution:
Custom Spiral Butterfly Agitator Blades
To match the client's material rheology, the butterfly mixing blades were engineered with integrated helical spiral ribbons. This design forces heavy mineral powders (calcium carbonate, talc) from the bottom upward into the central vortex, preventing dense sedimentation and shortening batch blending times by 30%. The powertrain utilizes direct-connection high-torque motors tailored to the operating habits of the plant's maintenance crew.
PLC Signal-Interlocked Pressing & Filling
Traditional hydraulic extrusion presses continuous force on paste, causing oozing and mess between bucket swaps. POLYC engineered an intelligent signal interlock: when the operator sets the target weight and initiates filling, the pressing machine receives a trigger to push the follower plate downward. Once the bucket reaches exact weight, the filling nozzle and hydraulic press plate stop simultaneously, eliminating residual pressure, material waste, and nozzle leakage.
2. Production Line 2: 5000L Concentric Dual Shaft Mixing Reactor & Cartridge Packaging
For the client's large-scale coatings, specialty putty, and sealant formulations, POLYC engineered a heavy-duty 5000L Concentric Dual Shaft Mixing Reactor (PCM Series) paired with two automated cartridge filling machines:
5000L Concentric Dual Shaft Architecture
The PCM-5000 operates with coaxial independent shafts: an inner high-speed Cowles dispersing shaft (0–1450 RPM, tip speed 20–25 m/s) to shatter pigment agglomerates, and an outer low-speed anchor frame (0–45 RPM) with spring-loaded PTFE scrapers. The scrapers constantly wipe the vessel jacket, preventing local overheating and eliminating unmixed dead zones in 5-ton batches.
High-Viscosity Cartridge Tube Packaging
Two high-viscosity hydraulic cartridge filling machines handle 300ml/310ml plastic rigid tubes. The system utilizes submerged bottom-up airless injection and automated plunger insertion, guaranteeing void-free, bubble-free packaging with dosing accuracy within ±0.5%.
