Double Planetary Mixers

Double Planetary Mixers

Double Planetary Mixers are used for homogenous mixing of various ingredients of different densities in different proportions for solid/solid, liquid/solid, and liquld/Iiquid. The Double Planetary Mixers contains two mixing blades that revolve on their own axis, as well as on a common axis, within the mix vessel. The mix pattern ensures that all materials in the vessel are intermixed within a few minutes. These are designed for intensive mixing, dispersing, kneading, and de-aerating products such as adhesives, sealants, light caulks, pastes, coatings, granulations, and similar products of medium to high viscosity.

Working Principles

The Double Planetary Mixer includes two blades that rotate on their own axes, while they orbit the mix vessel on a common axis. The blades continuously advance along the periphery of the vessel, removing material from the vessel wall and transporting it to the interior. After one revolution the blades have passed through the entire vessel, after three revolutions most materials have been mixed and after only 36 revolutions, the blades have contacted virtually the entire batch.
