Motionless Mixers

Motionless Mixers, or often referred as the Static Mixers, are used for high viscous melt flow mixing of polymers and foods in extrusion service. As with most process equipment, each motionless mixer design has specific advantages and disadvantages that make it more or less suitable for a specific application and installation.
