What Is a Planetary Mixer?

Planetary mixer is a new type of high-efficiency non-dead-point mixing and mixing equipment. It has a unique and novel mixing form. There are two or three multi-layered paddle agitators and 1 or 2 automatic scrapers in the kettle. At the same time as the body axis revolves, it rotates at high speeds around its own axis at different speeds, so that the materials make complex movements in the kettle. ^[1] Traditional planetary mixers are mostly composed of two low-speed mixing paddles, also called double planetary mixers. But with the increase of demand, planetary mixers have also added other mixers, such as various types of dispersion paddles, emulsifiers and so on. Multifunctional applications have been added and the scope of use has been expanded.

Planetary mixer

Planetary mixer is a new type of high-efficiency non-dead-point mixing and mixing equipment. It has a unique and novel mixing form. There are two or three multi-layered paddle agitators and 1 or 2 automatic scrapers in the kettle. At the same time as the body axis revolves, it rotates at high speeds around its own axis at different speeds, which causes the material to make complex movements in the kettle, which is subject to intense shearing and kneading, and its efficiency is usually several times that of ordinary mixers.

Common planetary mixers usually consist of two low-speed planetary agitating blades (usually multi-inclined blade, twist, frame), one or two high-speed planetary agitating blades (dispersion discs), and scraper blades.

The characteristics of the planetary mixer are: the host adopts a planetary gear reducer design, low noise, high mechanical efficiency, which can save power and reduce equipment occupation space. This machine is suitable for the multi-component solid-solid phase, solid-liquid phase, liquid-liquid phase material mixing, reaction, dispersion, dissolution, chemical, light industry, food, battery, pharmaceutical, building materials, pesticide and other industries. Tempering and other processes, such as the preparation of inks, pigments, adhesives, sealants, sealing glue ointments, paste materials, greases, paints, paste cosmetics, additives and other highly viscous preparations. The viscosity range is about 10,000 to 1,000,000 CP. The form of the agitator can be multi-layered paddle type, frame type, butterfly type, outer wheel type, etc. according to material requirements ^[1]
