BLENDING PLANTS & PUGMILLS.
Purpose-built systems for mixing, blending, and stabilising material in bulk.

Material blending & stabilisation
Blending plants and pugmills are designed to mix materials such as aggregates, sand, cement, lime, and water to produce consistent, specified blends. These systems are commonly used in road base preparation, soil stabilisation, landfill capping, and recycling operations.
MIMICO offers blending equipment including fixed and mobile pugmills from IMS, providing flexible solutions for both batch and continuous mixing applications.

Key blending Features
more about blending plants.
PRECISE MATERIAL CONTROL
Fine-tune your feed rates, blending ratios, moisture content, and binder input to ensure your final product meets exact specification requirements. This level of control improves quality, reduces waste, and ensures compliance on infrastructure and stabilisation projects.
MOBILE OR FIXED OPTIONS
Choose from transportable trailer-mounted units or permanently installed plants to align with production targets, site constraints, and project duration. Both formats are designed for efficiency and fast integration into existing operations.
ROBUST MIXING ACTION
Pugmills utilise twin-shaft paddle technology to deliver high-energy mixing. This provides thorough, even distribution of moisture and binders across varied material sizes — critical for applications like cement-treated base or stabilised fill.
COMPATIBLE WITH MULTIPLE FEED SOURCES
Designed to integrate with a range of material inputs including loader-fed hoppers, belt conveyors, and multi-bin blending systems. This flexibility supports custom mix designs and optimised flow from upstream equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What’s the difference between a blending plant and a pugmill?
A blending plant combines multiple feed materials into a single mix, often using conveyors and hoppers. A pugmill is a mixing device that uses twin paddles for high-shear, high-moisture mixing, often used where compaction or binding is required.
What materials can be processed?
Blending systems handle aggregates, sand, lime, cement, RAP, and water depending on the application. Some can also accommodate fly ash or specialised binders.
Where are blending plants and pugmills used?
Common applications include road base construction, soil stabilisation, landfill cover, rail ballast production, and material recycling.
Are mobile pugmills available?
Yes. IMS manufactures trailer-mounted and tracked mobile pugmills suited for remote sites or projects with variable locations.
Do these systems require a lot of maintenance?
Routine checks on mixer shafts, bearings, and feed systems are needed. MIMICO provides scheduled service support and spare parts for all supplied equipment.
