Astec pugmills and pugmill plants provide portability with an aggressive mixing action.
Overview
Astec pugmills and pugmill plants provide portability with an aggressive mixing action.
The continuous-mix plants include two counter-rotating shafts with paddles and timing gears to keep the mix moving at the optimal speed for the best-quality mix. Controlled blending and automatic proportioning ensure the consistent end product your operation requires. Multiple configurations of ingredient feed systems provide flexibility and ease-of-operation.
