5. Applications of Chemical Mixers
Used for homogeneous mixing of Foods, Chemicals, Pharmaceutical,
Detergent, Soap, Pesticide products.
Agglomeration or Granulation.
Heating and drying of products.
Solid to solid mixing.
Solid to liquid mixing.
Homogenizing.
Blending of products.
6. Batch Mixing vs. Continuous Mixing
In batch operation, all ingredients are loaded into the mixer together or in a
pre-defined sequence, and mixed until a homogenous material is produced and
discharged from the mixer in a single lot.
The output of a batch mixer is measured in kg/batch.
The continuous mixer is generally dedicated to a single high volume product.
Ingredients are continuously charged into the mixer in accordance with the
formulation. The mixing takes place as the material travels from the charging
port to the discharge nozzle, from where it is continuously discharged.
The output of a continuous mixer is measured in kg/hr.
7. Selection of batch or continuous mixer depends on several factors,
Quantity of the material to be mixed,
Desired standards of homogeneity of product mix,
Pre-mixing operations and material handling equipment,
Post-mixing operations, and
Any multiple product formulation requirement.
8. Plough shear mixer
A wide range of plough shear mixers are highly suited for
mixing dry material like powders and granules as well as liquid
material like wetting and pastes of low thickness. These mixers
are highly efficient for super fast mixing of powders, granules
with or without addition of liquids. We manufacture these
products using optimum quality raw materials to assure high
durability and robust construction.
9. Sigma mixer
This mixture consists of twin trough each fitted with a rotating
agitator and each one of these agitator is a heavy duty ‘z’ shaped
blade. The product is introduced from the top of the mixture and
same access is used to clean the mixture. While in operation the
product is loaded up to 40% to 65% of the mixture capacity. The
blade can overlap & rotate at same speed or variable speed. In ‘z’
blade two counter rotating ‘z’ - blades fold and shear the material
quiet severely.
10. Soap Crutcher
It is robust machine, designed for
mixing of raw material to make Soap
(i.e. Oils, Caustic, Silicate, Water &
other fillers etc.). This is a double
jacketed vessel, works with presence of
Steam or Thermic fluid Boiler. Inside it
a helical thread worm is fitted, which
rotates Clockwise & anti Clockwise in
the small drum, those is also double
jacketed & open from both ends so that
thread worm sponifies the raw material
up & down very properly. Outer
jacketed shell & inner jacketed drum
transfer’s heat gently at all point to raw
material to final formation of Soap.
11. Agitator
Agitator :- An agitator is a device or
mechanism to put something into motion
by shaking or stirring. There are three main
types of agitation machines are as follow :
The washing machine agitator, which
rotates back and forth;
The magnetic agitator, which contains a
magnetic bar which rotates about a
magnetic field;
The manual agitation, such as with a
stirring rod.
12. Cone Screw Mixer
Cone screw mixer is widely used in
chemical, food, cosmetic and
pharmaceutical industries. The floor space
required for this type of mixer is very less
and they can be started on full load. The
material of various densities, sizes and
particle shapes are also mixed
homogeneously without any degradation.
The screw rotates about its own axis and
revolves along the walls of the cone. Due
to the conical shape the unloading of the
material is helped by gravity and is
complete without any hold-up.
13. High Speed / Shear Mixer
A high-shear mixer disperses, or transports, one
phase or ingredient (liquid, solid, gas) into a main
continuous phase (liquid), with which it would
normally be immiscible. A rotor or impellor,
together with a stationary component known as a
stator, or an array of rotors and stators, is used
either in a tank containing the solution to be
mixed, or in a pipe through which the solution
passes, to create shear. A high-shear mixer can be
used to create emulsions, suspensions, lyosols (gas
dispersed in liquid), and granular products.
14. Paddle Mixer
Paddle mixer is used for mixing solids or liquids of various particle size, density
and viscosity. These are fabricated using premium quality materials that are
tested for its durability and efficiency. They are available in various dimensions
according to the requirements of the customers. They are used in various
industrial applications for their features like easy to maintain, durability and
flexibility.
15. Rotary Blender
Esteem Engineers Rotary Drum
Blender is an ideal gentle mixer,
with low speed and no moving
parts inside the drum. Used all
over the world for
Powder/Granules blending, often
with optional spray bar addition,
the Rotary Drum Blender is perfect
for delicate, friable or abrasive
materials.
16. Conical Blender
Well known for robust construction and
smooth operation. Clients can avail a
customized range of machines as per
their requirement. These machines are
highly appreciated for their features like
high performance, less power
consumption, robust construction and
easy maintenance. These machines are
manufactured using the advanced
technologies and available for nominal
price.
17. Ribbon Blender
Ribbon a blender comprises of a ‘u’ shaped horizontal trough and a specially
designed double helical ribbon rotating within. Each set having one inner and
one outer ribbon. Both the sets are accurately positioned and oppositely pitched
on the agitator shaft to prevent localized accumulation and effect good mixing
of the products. In the ribbon blender powder is mixed horizontally as well as
vertically. Ribbon blenders are suitable for free too cohesive type of powder
and can handle varying densities. These ribbon blenders are used for mixing
dry granules & powders homogeneously.
18. GLYCERIN SOAPS COOLER
Soap cooler is a high performance,
horizontal, turbulent heat exchanger. It
consists of a horizontal stationary tank
with a number of elliptical tubes
welded vertically with the tank plate.
There are two platforms, one for
hydraulic cylinder and other for pusher
piston rods. The latter one slides up and
down along with the pusher pistons
mounted on it. The pusher piston
moves inside the mould tubes. Two
platforms and tank are held together
rigidly with the help of four guide bars
and proper lock nuts.
19. Advantages of Granules over Powders
Granules are prepared through Agglomerates of Smaller Powder Particles.
Granules are free flow in nature.
Generates less amount of dust in processing.
More stable to Atmospheric Humidity.
Powders may become sticky, pasty.
Faster rate of dissolution and absorption.
Granules are in various sieve size range.
20. Advantages of PSM over Ribbon Blender
Plough Shear Mixer used for mixing various phase interactions. Solid-Solid,
Solid - Liquid and Solid Gaseous.
In a Ploughshare Mixer, the product being processed is mechanically fluidized
accordingly there is increase in specific area and hence more intimate mixing.
With added features a Ploughshare Mixer can be used as an effective reactor
and dryer. The residence time is very small for mixing.
Whereas Ribbon Blender is moved without any fluidization and hence the
interaction between the particles is limited. It can be used more for blending and
the in case of solid liquid interaction, the liquid quantity is limited.
