High Intensity Mixers

High Intensity Mixers

High Intensity Mixers are often times used for their versatility to not only mix but to disintegrate, fluidize, deagglomerate, or pelletize the material being processed.

Working Principles

The mixing tools rotate at sufficient speed to create a fluidized mixing action. The flow pattern is a forced vortex. Homogeneous blends are usually attained in 45-60 seconds. The mixer has the ability to frictionally elevate the temperature of the material being mixed and to disperse agglomerated fine powders, including most pigments. The highly polished interior is easy to clean.

Applications

High-intensity mixers are best suited for use in high volume production applications. They are mainly used to produce PVC dry blend, either rigid or plasticized from polymers in suspension, emulsion or mass. These mixers are also used for densification or heat agglomeration of other thermoplastic resins such as ABS, PE and PP and for drying, hot or cold distribution of pigments and moistening.
