High Quality Planetary Mixer Improves Mixing Consistency in High Viscosity Materials

Fine chemical industries also use high viscosity materials like adhesives, sealants, high-solid coating and composite resins. Combining these substances is highly cumbersome- these materials are very viscous, not very fluid and easy to agglomerate, thus, attaining homogenous mixing and constant consistency has been one of the major bottlenecks limiting production efficiency and quality of product. The high quality planetary mixer designed by Rumi Electromechanical and modified to meet the requirements related to the high viscosity of the material is a great solution to the above pain points and will greatly enhance the mixing consistency and will offer reliable support to the manufacturers.

Core Challenges in Mixing High Viscosity Materials

High-viscosity materials are difficult and challenging to mix compared to low-viscosity materials. First, it is hard to uniformly disperse: due to the high internal friction of viscous materials it is challenging to force the material flow using the traditional mixers, easy local agglomeration of pigments, fillers and additives can occur and therefore leads to non-uniform distribution of components. Secondly, it is hard to control consistency: batch to batch variation in mixing action is common because of the lack of intense stirring, or dead corners, to satisfy the strict quality standards of fine chemical products. Third, there is low efficiency in production: conventional equipment takes long mixing periods to get to uniform mixing and this makes the production costly in terms of energy consumption. Lastly, equipment flexibility is poor: a significant number of mixers are unsuitable when it comes to the high load operation of high viscosity materials resulting in both poor operating stability and decreased working life.

Why Planetary Mixers Excel in High Viscosity Mixing?

Its high-quality planetary mixer is of a distinctive type of revolution + rotation dual-motion type, and this type of mixer is the perfect solution to the shortcomings of the old mixing equipment. In operation, the mixing paddle rotates around the centre of the tank and rotates at high speed resulting in a high shear force, knead force and stir force that propels the heavily viscous material completely. The three-dimensional mixing mode, gets rid of dead corners in the stirring, making all the material mix uniformly hence significantly enhancing mixing uniformity.

Besides this, the planetary mixer has a system of high torque drive and wear resistant part of mixing, which can be used steadily under the high-load status and can adapt to the mixing requirement of various high viscosity liquids (paste, colloid and high content of solid slurry). The accurate speed control mechanism enables producers to manipulate parameters based on the nature of the materials so that there is no over shear damages of the delicate components but the mixing effect is attained.
