Steele Pug Mills — Better continuous intensive mixing and de-airing

Continuous intensive mixing of liquids and/or sludges with dry solids, using mixing knives instead of paddles — for better mixing and de-airing of sticky materials, with minimal material adherence.

Steele Pug Mills deliver the high-torque continuous mixing you need, with minimal maintenance requirements and fast replacement of wearing parts for reduced downtime and lower operating costs. Our pug mills offer rugged construction, including frames cast with our heavy ductile iron, heavy-duty gears and bearings, large diameter shafts and pneumatic clutches.

We build our pug mills in three sizes to meet your production needs:

25A Pug Mill — 180-500 cubic feet per hour
200F Pug Mill — 360-960 cubic feet per hour
300G Jumbo Pug Mill — 500 to 2,000 cubic feet per hour

Accelerate or retard material flow

Steele pug mills use replaceable pug knife blades cast with our high chrome iron alloy. These adjustable-pitch knives fit on the shaft in overlapping spirals to move material to the discharge end of the tub (you can set the knife pitch to accelerate or retard material flow).

Our pug mills use knives instead of paddles, for better mixing and de-airing of liquids and/or sludges with dry solids.
