The Papenmeier TSEH/KGU 1000/2500 hot/cold mixer is primarily used for processing plastics such as PVC, with TSEH 1000 designating the hot mixer and KGU designating the cold mixer. Specifications for industrial equipment used may vary, but common details are provided below.
 TSEH 1000 (Hot Mixer)
 The hot mixer is a high-intensity unit designed to rapidly heat and mix raw materials.
 Capacity: The working capacity is typically 1000 liters.
 Construction Material: Often constructed of steel or stainless steel.
 Motor Power: A configuration found on the used market has a 250 HP (horsepower) electric motor. Other options (e.g., two-speed motors) may exist.
 Engine Speed: The 250-300 HP engine operates at 1785 rpm (revolutions per minute).
 Voltage: The motor is specified for 460 volts.
 Features: Includes a jacketed container for temperature control, a built-in pneumatic discharge valve, a pneumatically operated top door with a baffle, a glass sight glass, and multiple feed openings.

 KGU 2500 (Cold Mixer)
 The cold mixer receives the material from the hot mixer to cool it, making it suitable for further processing or storage. The specific capacity of the KGU unit in a TSEH/KGU 1000 system is often greater than that of the hot mixer to allow for proper cooling and handling (e.g., KGU 2500).
 Capacity: If a KGU 2500 is used, it has a capacity of 1000 liters. Often, a larger capacity unit is paired with the TSEH 1000.
 Construction Material: Typically stainless steel.
 Features: Includes a jacketed cooling vessel and internal mixing elements for agitation.
