The Littleford CB High Speed Processor features a horizontal two-part clamshell-type mixing chamber. The upper half of the shell is hinged and electromechanically actuated for easy access. A jacket is supplied for heating or cooling media. The mixing tools are constructed of special wear resistant materials.   
   
Granular bulk material is fed into the top of the mixing drum at the end opposite the drive. Liquids may be added directly into the rotating ring of material in the mixer through a distribution manifold system. The manifold may be installed in either the upper or lower half of the shell.   
   
The horizontal shaft utilizes a significant quantity of specially designed feeding and mixing tools arranged in a spiral-like pattern. The specially shaped, high-speed tools supply high shear mixing rates, facilitate material transport through the mixer and disperse the liquid additives uniformly.   
   
Product is discharged continuously through a bottom opening located at the drive end. The discharge rate is continuously regulated via a pneumatic gate control.
