Belt Mixing

Globe manufactures two sizes of belt mixing, one for low volume plants (up to 30 tiles per minute) and one for larger volume plants of up to and beyond 140 tiles per minute.

Sand and cement are fed onto a troughed mixing belt. This belt has multiple mixing heads along its length - these mixing heads progressively mix the sand and cement in a homogeneous mortar. Water and colour are injected at different stages along the length of the mixing belt.

Continuous mixing has the following advantages over conventional batch style mixing:

• Clean-up is greatly reduced;
• Mortar preparation rates are matched to production rates at all times, thus reducing waste;
• Very short colour runs are possible, therefore allowing unlimited blends of product colour in a low number of tiles.

Although Globe does not manufacture batching plants ourselves, we have extensive experience in them and can offer advice on their selection criteria should you decide to use one. Globe can also offer electrical control systems for batch plants.
