USED 1986 LITTLEFORD FM-300D

Littleford 300 Liter Stainless Steel Jacketed Plow Mixer | Model FM-300-DThe Littleford FM-300-D is a high-intensity horizontal plow mixer designed for precision blending, granulating, and thermal processing. Utilizing a mechanical "fluidized bed" action, this mixer hurls material into a three-dimensional crisscross pattern, ensuring a perfectly homogeneous blend in a fraction of the time required by ribbon or paddle blenders.This specific unit (S/N 40688-3268) features a full stainless steel interior and a pressurized heating/cooling jacket, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, food-grade, or specialty chemical applications where temperature control is critical. With its heavy-duty Falk gear reducer and high-torque motor, the FM-300-D is engineered to handle high-density materials and 24/7 industrial duty cycles.Technical SpecificationsManufacturer: Littleford Day, Inc.Model: FM-300-DSerial Number: 40688-3268Year of Manufacture: 1986Total Capacity: 300 Liters (10.6 Cu.
