Dashers and mutator blade shafts

Dashers & Mutator Blade Shafts

Dashers and Mutators insert inside the cylinders; serving to constantly agitate product, as well as the axis of rotation for scraper blades. Dashers & Mutator blade shafts are necessary for mixing and churning product into a specific consistency. They come in many sizes and shapes; which are determined by their application. Most dashers have pins attached to their outside casing which serve to hold long blades. As the dasher spins, the blades scrape the product from the inner surface of the Heat Exchange Cylinder.
