There is a new mixer that may be able to increase production rates and cut costs for those industries that rely on high viscosity mixers. In most applications, it can replace the double arm kneaders.
When mixing heavier materials like adhesives, the double arm kneaders and Sigma mixer have been the choice. But as much as a double planetary mixer, it costs about three times. In the lab, it also requires quite a bit more floor space.
Making it a better choice, the double planetary mixer has several features. The mixer includes variable speed inverter drives, enclosed construction, pre-wired controls and self-contained unit are included in Items that come standard.
Having control options such as a data logging capabilities, simple interface as well as turnkey automation, it is an all-in-one mixer like Contra rotating mixer. It can manage vacuum pressure, change can design, and provide for proper heat transfer. From which to choose, it has three blade designs. For the batch being mixed, this enables you to choose the right flow pattern.
The HV blades are preferred for materials that are very thick. All the types of batches that the HV blades would work well with are heavy hot melts, molding compounds and Silicone sealants. However, as it is better designed to break up solid rubber chunks the double arm mixer is better for solid butyl mixtures.
To handle sticky substances, The HV blades are also well designed. Other applications and Carbon fillers that tend to try to stick to lower crossbars and climb the blades. This is like those in a double arm mixer seem to do well with HV blades. Since in models with HV blades, the lower crossbar is not included this does not pose a problem.
At several sites, the new mixer designs are available. To allow for testing, they are there. It is imperative to have this opportunity to try them firsthand with your own unique process and ingredients. The exact mixing conditions that are used on your process line can be stimulated by this way. You can fine tune your process. To help find ways of time in production and saving money, Testing is an invaluable tool.
