Plow Blenders
Plow blenders use wedge-like plows which cut through product and move it laterally, helping address issues caused by mixes with widely different densities and particle size. Though some lighter mixes will prefer plow blenders for one reason or another, ABM typically encorporates them for denser dry mixes and thicker slurries. ABM identifies the most suitable plow blender for your application from the market, installs it, and maintains it with 24/7/365 service. If plow blending is best for you but no available model is optimal, ABM can redesign one for an OEM to manufacture.
Features and Benefits

- Customizable design: Our plow blenders can be customized to meet your specific requirements, including size, shape, and material of construction.
- Easy maintenance: Our plow blenders are designed to be easy to clean and maintain, with access to all critical components for routine inspections and maintenance.
- Durability and reliability: We use only the highest quality materials and components in our plow blenders, ensuring that they can withstand the rigors of continuous use and provide reliable performance for years to come.
Applications
Plow blenders are suitable for a wide range of food processing applications, including:
- Blending granular materials and powders for snack foods, baked goods, and cereals
- Mixing spices, seasonings, and powders for sauces, marinades, and dressings
- Homogenizing powders and granules for nutritional supplements and pet foods
- Combining dry ingredients for spice blends, dry mixes, and other food products
When to Use
Plow blenders are ideal for blending dry and semi-dry materials that are free-flowing, non-sticky, and non-cohesive. They are particularly effective for mixing materials with varying particle sizes and densities. Plow blenders are also suitable for materials that require gentle handling, such as fragile or heat-sensitive materials.
When Not to Use
Plow blenders are generally not suitable for materials that are cohesive, sticky, or have a tendency to pack or form clumps. They are also not recommended for materials that have high moisture content.
Integration and Support
Our engineers and fabricators will work with you to integrate your plow blenders seamlessly into your existing production line, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. We also offer ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure that your plow blender continues to operate at peak performance for years to come.
