How Multi-shaft Mixers Offer Flexibility for High-Viscosity Materials

High-viscosity materials in the fine chemical, adhesives and composite industries require equipment that is flexible to a wide range of formulations, batch sizes, and production requirements - one-size-fits-all mixing solutions cannot work. Multi-shaft mixers designed by Rumi are designed to provide unmatched flexibility with a combination of agitator designs tailored to the desired service, a scalable design, and an integrated process control to deal with the most intricate mixing problems of high viscosity. Designed either in the laboratory as a R&D mixer or in mass production as an industrial mixer, they are scaled to changing needs of production, thus forming a flexible central workhorse of high-viscosity material processing lines. We discuss below the main design and functional characteristics that enable Rumi multi-shaft style mixers to be the versatile solution to your production requirements.

Adjustable Agitator Recipes to a Variety of Formulations

Our company multi-shaft mixers have a modular agitator design, which is the defining flexibility of the company. Our triple shaft and two shaft mixers will enable you to combine any of the agitator types in the product, such as dispersing blades, butterfly agitators, and planetary mixers, with respect to the nature of your high-viscosity product. As an example, a double shaft dispersing mixer combines high-speed dispersing blades to wet solids and reduce particles with low-speed agitators to combine bulk material, which is suitable in the case of adhesives and sealants. In extremely viscous pastes and gels, triple shaft arrangements are used, where the scraper agitator used breaks wall formation and mixes the whole vessel. Such modularity allows producers to alternate formulations without the need to fully upgrade equipment, reducing the changeover time and enhancing output rates.

Laboratory to Industrial Production

Multi-shaft mixer Multi-shaft mixer range Multi-shaft mixers range from laboratory-scale up to large industrial 5000L coax mix series, scaling up to a continuum of material development and production scale. Lab models are constructed to test small batches of formulation and to perform R&D, and they use the same core mixing technology that is used in our industrial units- so that when it is scaled to mass production it gives the same result. Our hydraulic lifting multi-shaft mixers allow manufacturers to change over to the next vessel with ease with small-batch custom manufacturing and large-scale continuous manufacturing on one platform. This scalability avoids the need to have different mixing systems between R&D and production which reduces the amount of capital spent and simplifies the workflow.

Integrated Adaptive Operation Process Systems

Flexibility is not only related to mechanical design but also to integrated process control and auxiliary in multi-shaft mixers. Every model may be fitted with vacuum systems that remove air bubbles, jacket heating/cooling to control the temperature of the material, and PLC touch screen to adjust all parameters with high precision - all these are fully programmable to suit your production setting. In the case of hazardous or explosive processing environment, we provide explosion-proof design, and hydraulic discharging system can easily manage non-flowing high-viscosity end products. These combined capabilities allow the mixers to be configured to meet demanding process needs, both food grade hygiene and the high precision of the new energy material manufacturing. Better still, our multi-shaft mixers can be combined with the entire production line systems of Rumi such as batching systems, hoists and control panels to create a complete, turnkey processing system.

Supported by ISO9001 and CE certification, the multi-shaft mixers of Rumi combine precision of engineering with adaptable design to suit any industry with variable and dynamic requirements of high-viscosity materials processing. Whether it is customizable agitators, scalable sizing, in-built process controls, or a combination of these, our mixers provide the ability to tailor agitators to your needs and keep your production on time, minimize downtime, or accommodate new formulation and volume requirements without compromising quality mixing results. We are also a major dealer in fine chemical processing equipment and we can provide you with the entire EPC construction and after sales services so that your multi-shaft mixer can be able to work at maximum capacity over long period.
