How Vertical Screw Mixer Works?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First step is charging
of mixer from the top, manually or vide pneumatic or mechanical
conveying. After the mixer is charged the mixing process
starts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
The mixing is carried by means of 3
distinct intermixing actions |
|
|
|
|
|
-
The screw agitator, turning on its axis, produces
a lifting action as it spirals the materials in
an upward flow.
-
At the same time, orbiting the tank, the screw
removes material away from the wall and deflects
it into the centre of the tank.
-
Material lifted by the screw gravitates downward,
thoroughly intermixing with material being spiraled
upwards.
|
|
|
The typical speed of the central screw
is 70 to 80 Rpm. The Tip speed can fluctuate from 1 to
3 m/s. The result is most intimate intermingling of all
ingredients. The mixing time is depending on product characteristics,
mixing accuracy and batch size |
|
|
|
|
|
Discharging of the mixer
takes place via the bottom by means of a manual or automated
discharge valve. |
