Industrial mixers for powders, granules and bulk materials are used in many industries (i.e., chemical, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, animal nutrition, etc.) for the manufacture of flavorings, food colorings, paints, toners, as well as the treatment of polymers, silicones, lubricants and adhesives...
Mixing operations are required at many stages of industrial processes.
The choice and sizing of an agitator can be a complicated decision. The design takes into account three criteria:
The mixer will also depend on the number of phases present.
Industrial mixers can be of several types: mechanical, static, rotating, with or without liquid injection, etc.
They are equipped with a motor (with speed reducer), a shaft guide mechanism, drive shaft and mixing agitators.
Depending on the viscosity of the product and the type of phase (liquid, solid or gas), we often refer to this equipment as either a mixer, blender or kneader.
It is important to consider factors such as environmental conditions that can indicate additional stresses on the mixer. These conditions would require specific design characteristics for the equipment: pressure (tightness), temperature (cooling), types of fluids and atmosphere (hazardous area rating).
