The operating principle of a mixer is to uniformly mix different materials through mechanical force, and the specific method varies depending on the type. The following are the working principles of common mixers:
1. Stirring mixer
Operating principle: The material is stirred uniformly by devices such as stirring blades and spiral blades.
Application: Suitable for powders, particles, liquids, etc.
2. Drum mixer
Operating principle: When the drum rotates, the material rolls and scatters inside the drum, achieving a mixing effect.
Application: Commonly used for mixing particles and powders.
3. Airflow mixer
Operating principle: Utilizing high-speed airflow to suspend and collide materials, achieving mixing.
Application: Suitable for lightweight powders.
4. Spiral mixer
Operating principle: The spiral device rotates, pushing the material up and down, inside and outside to achieve uniform mixing.
Application: Suitable for powders and particles.
5. Planetary mixer
Operating principle: The mixing device rotates and revolves, allowing the material to move in multiple directions inside the container and mix more evenly.
Application: Used for high viscosity materials such as adhesives and coatings.
6. Vibration mixer
Operating principle: By vibrating the material inside the container, the mixing effect is achieved.
Application: Suitable for particles and powders.
7. Static mixer
Operating principle: When materials pass through stationary mixing elements, they are divided and recombined to achieve mixing.
Application: Commonly used for mixing liquids or gases.
