Tom Arenholz Presentation | Mulling vs. Mixing – Adding Energy!
What really happens inside the big steel box? Simpson’s Tom Arenholz will take a closer look at how mullers and mixers work to coat sand grains with clay and why the energy you add matters. His presentation will cover plows, wheels, wear and basic settings, along with the differences between mixers, batch mullers and continuous mullers. Tom will also explain why understanding your mull cycle matters and highlight a key test for evaluating your process: total oil & grease.
