Why Double Shaft Dispersing Mixers Are the Best Choice for High-Viscosity Materials

When working with high-viscosity materials in the creation of fine chemicals, sealants, adhesives, or high-end printing inks, management of these compounds is a special challenge. With traditional, industrial mixers the homogeneous blend may be challenging as these mixers usually cannot produce considerable flow of thick pastes. These are the production bottlenecks that we know at Shanghai Rumi Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. This is the reason why we underline the high performance of those demanding applications of the use of double shaft dispersing mixers.

Their Approach to Overcoming High-Viscosity Headaches

A single-shaft disperser will usually form a vortex which merely cuts a hole through the material, but does not cause the bulk mass to move. However, a double shaft mixer uses two separate agitators that operate simultaneously. A slow-speed anchor frame or paddle blade is usually set to constantly sweep the wall of the vessel pushing the material to the centre avoiding dead zones. At the same time, intensively shear agglomerates are torn with a high-speed disperser shaft and achieve strong shear. This is a two-fold action that makes sure that even the pastes that have a viscosity of millions of centipoise are completely overturned and mixed.

The benefits of your production line

1. Superior Homogeneity: The mixer combines bulk flow with high shear to break the pigments or any other additive particles apart to wet all particles and this is important in products quality in such industries as coating and sealants.

2. Reduced Cycle Times: The strong mechanical force provided by the two shafts saved on mixing time than when a single agitator is used and this will direct impact on your production efficiency.

3. Diversification in Operation: This is dispersal, dissolution or deaeration and this equipment deals with the whole process within one tank. Being a provider of the total solution we connect the mixers with the existing stainless steel reactors and batching systems to create a flow of work.

The Rumi Advantage of High Viscosity Mixing

Although there are numerous suppliers of mixing equipment, the success is in the mechanical design and seal integrity needed during heavy duty mixing. The design of our mixers with two shafts is made with strong gearboxes and trusted shaft sealing to address the torque and pressure of thick materials. Being in the business of offering complete solutions to the fine chemical industry, we also make sure that our dispersing equipment is compatible with your downstream filling machines and upstream storage tanks.

Investing in appropriate mixing technology is essential to manufacturers who want to scale up to full production at the lab scale. The dispersing mixer with two shafts is not a simple equipment, but the heart of the effective and high-quality production line of the high-viscosity materials.
