Cleaning System for singleshaft Mixers

With their compact design, singleshaft mixers (also known as ribbon-type mixers) are ideal for smaller production facilities or locations with limited space — without compromising on quality or speed. Their simple operation and lower maintenance requirements reduce both the initial investment and ongoing operating costs.

However, concrete buildup on shafts and shovels is just as problematic as in larger twin-shaft mixers — if not worse. The smaller size makes accessing critical areas even more difficult. Without regular cleaning, hardened concrete residues will accumulate, increasing wear and compromising mix quality due to incomplete mixing or loose hardened concrete fragments contaminating future batches.

WALTER Automated Mixer Cleaning – The Smart Investment

Avoid these issues with a WALTER automated mixer cleaning system. Frequent cleaning prevents buildup, reduces maintenance, and ensures smooth, uninterrupted operation. Just activate the system as often as time allows, and your singleshaft mixer will remain in peak condition.

Our mixer cleaning system is custom-designed to match the size and layout of inlets, inspection flaps, and other critical areas inside your mixer. The RD3maX nozzle heads, developed specifically for twin-shaft and singleshaft mixers, deliver:

• Higher pressure for thorough cleaning
• Increased volume flow for maximum efficiency
• Optimized jet focus to target hard-to-reach areas

While ensuring thorough cleaning of paddles and shafts, our system also covers the walls and bottom of the mixer, providing a complete clean in minimal time.

Keep It Clean – Keep It Running!

Regular cleaning is key to preventive mixer maintenance, extending the lifespan of critical components, reducing downtime, and lowering replacement costs.
