“Mix It Up: Exploring the Four Categories of Mixers”
Mixing machines come in a variety of types to accommodate different materials and viscosities.
The first category is gas and low viscosity liquid mixers, which boast a simple structure without rotating parts, making them low maintenance and energy efficient. This type of mixer is available in four varieties: airflow, pipe, jet, and forced circulation.
The second category, medium and high viscosity liquid and paste mixing machines, require a more complex structure due to the thicker materials being processed.
The third category is thermoplastic material mixers, which are designed for materials that require high-temperature mixing, such as molten plastic.
Finally, the fourth category consists of powdered and granular solid materials mixing machines, which are used for materials that are dry and have a lower viscosity.
Mixer parts
Mixer parts are manufactured from wear-resistant alloy materials to ensure longevity and efficient mixing. These parts include high-speed mixing scrapers, mixing fins, wear-resistant linings, mixing arms, mixing shovels, planetary shovels, mixing coulters, stirring rods, mixing rafts, and more. By understanding the different types of mixers and their components, you can select the most appropriate machine for your mixing needs.
“Unleashing the Power of Mixing Machinery: Enhancing Homogeneity and Consistency in Liquids and Pastes”
When it comes to mixing medium and high viscosity liquids and pastes, the key lies in strong shearing action. Mixing machines with robust shearing capabilities are crucial to achieving the desired homogeneity and consistency.
Thermoplastic material mixing machinery is specifically designed to mix thermoplastic materials with additives, while powdered and granular solid material mixing machines are mainly used for intermittent operations. Rim machines, on the other hand, combine mixing and grinding functions for more efficient operation.
As the mechanical agitator rotates, its moving parts also contribute to shearing the liquid. Flowing through the container walls and various fixing members, the liquid is subjected to intense shearing effects that result in local eddy current diffusion.
For liquids of varying density, composition, and immiscibility, agitation and strong turbulence lead to dense liquid being shredded into small droplets and uniformly dispersed throughout the main liquid. With the help of powerful mixing machinery, achieving the perfect blend of liquids and pastes has never been easier.
Common mixer types
Common mixers include: Double cone mixer, ribbon mixer, 3D Mixer, gravityless mixer, V-type mixer, double-spiral conical mixer, high and low speed liquid mixer, planetary power mixer.
1. Double cone mixer
2. Horizontal ribbon mixer
The horizontal double-shaft ribbon mixer is a dry, powdery material that is stirred and evenly mixed. During the mixing, the material is moved by two rotors moving in opposite directions, and the composite motion is carried out. The biaxial paddles are made of animal material along the inner wall of the machine slot for two clockwise rotations, and the material near the axis is rotated by the axis. Pushed from the inside to the sides, the outer spiral drives the material close to the wall to rotate the shaft, and the axial direction is pushed from both sides to the inside, thus causing convection circulation, shearing and mixing in the material cylinder, and the material is quickly and evenly distributed in a short time. mixing.
3. Three-dimensional swing mixer
The three-maintenance oscillating mixer works differently from the traditional rotary mixer. It performs unique translation, rotation, rock motion in the three-dimensional space of the cube, and makes the material “rotating flow-translation-reverse down” in the mixing cylinder. Such a complex state of motion, the so-called TURBULA state; produces an alternating pulse that continuously pushes the material, and the motion-induced turbulence has a varying energy gradient, thereby causing the particles in the mixed material to have an inactive motion state. Each particle continuously changes its position in the frequent movement of the movement, resulting in a satisfactory mixing effect.
The three-dimensional oscillating mixer is composed of a machine base, a driving system, a three-dimensional motion mechanism, a mixing cylinder and an electric control system. The mixing cylinder that is in direct contact with the material is made of high-quality stainless steel material, and the inner wall of the cylinder is precisely polished.
The series of three-dimensional swing is a novel material mixer widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, light industry and other scientific research units. The machine can mix the powdery or granular materials with good flowability very uniformly, so that the mixed materials can achieve the best results.
In conclusion
The mixing machinery plays a critical role in achieving optimal consistency and homogeneity in liquids and pastes. With their strong shearing capabilities, they enable efficient mixing of various materials and ensure consistent product quality. Whether it’s for thermoplastic materials, powdered or granular solids, or dense liquids, these machines have proven to be indispensable in various industries. By harnessing the power of mixing machinery, manufacturers can improve their production processes, reduce waste, and ultimately deliver products of the highest quality.
