If you haven’t tested a variety of mixers during the last five years or so, forget all the rules you used to rely on to distinguish one mixer from another. According to the old rulebook, mixers fell into neat categories according to their capabilities and the requirements of your application. Once you identified the viscosity of your materials, for example, the shear required and the target particle or droplet size, you could quickly narrow your equipment choices to one or two likely candidates. Well, those days are over. During the last 5 to10 years, profound advances in design and engineering have made mixers in most categories (“categories” such as Double Planetary Mixers, Multi-shaft Mixer hybrids, and rotor/stator High Shear Mixers) far more versatile than they were before.
Products & Services
Industrial mixers use a shaft, screw, blades, ribbons, impellers or propellers to mix industrial materials such as adhesives, chemicals, construction materials, minerals, coatings and paints.
RF mixers convert RF power at one frequency into power at another frequency to make signal processing easier and more efficient.
Conical mixers and screw mixers use a rotating screw that progresses around the periphery of a conical hopper. The screw lifts solids from the bottom of the hopper to the top, where the mixture flows by gravity back into the screw.
Static or motionless mixers are fins, obstructions, or channels mounted in pipes, designed to promote mixing as fluid flows through the mixer.
Laboratory mixers are used to mix, emulsify, homogenize, disintegrate and dissolve samples.
