The horizontal mixer is a versatile industrial mixing equipment designed for blending, agitating, and dispersing various materials to meet the demands of different industries. In chemical production, it handles liquid, solid, and gaseous materials, such as coatings, paints, detergents, and cosmetics.
Driven by inner and outer ribbons on the mixing shaft, materials are continuously agitated within the cylinder. The inner ribbon pushes materials from the center to the sides, while the outer ribbon moves them from the sides to the center. This reciprocating motion, combined with radial movement, creates a highly efficient convective circulation, achieving uniform mixing in a short time. Equipped with a specialized double-end shaft seal, it ensures zero leakage of powders and liquids. The sealing consumables are cost-effective and easy to replace, making it a highly adaptable and efficient mixing solution.
Application Areas
- Chemical Industry: Widely used for mixing chemical raw materials like plastics, rubber, and paints. Its high-efficiency mixing capabilities help improve product quality and production efficiency.
- Food Industry: Applied in the production of condiments, milk powder, and food additives. It ensures thorough blending of food ingredients, thereby enhancing taste and quality.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: Commonly used for preparing various medications such as pills and tablets. Its precise mixing ratio and uniform mixing effect help guarantee medicinal efficacy and safety.
Working Principle
The horizontal cylinder is equipped with twin-shaft reverse-rotating paddles that agitate materials axially and radially at specific angles. The rotation speed driven by the reducer, combined with the paddle structure, minimizes the effect of material gravity. With this reduction in gravity, differences in particle size and specific gravity among materials are negated during the mixing process.
The intense agitation significantly shortens the time required for a single mix, making it faster and more efficient. Despite variations in specific gravity and particle size, the staggered mixing blades ensure rapid and vigorous tossing, achieving excellent mixing results. It features high mixing uniformity and minimal residue, making it highly suitable for pre-mixing multiple fertilizers and additives.
Product Features
- Ensures thorough material mixing, significantly improving mixing uniformity.
- Features an innovative rotor structure with an adjustable minimum gap between the rotor and casing (approaching zero), effectively reducing material residue.
- Capable of crushing larger materials.
- Designed with a rational overall structure and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Machine Maintenance
Routine maintenance is a crucial daily task that must be closely coordinated with operational and repair procedures. It should be conducted by dedicated personnel on duty.
- Lubrication: The bearings bear the entire load of the machine, so proper lubrication directly impacts the machine's lifespan and operating rate. Ensure the injected lubricating oil is clean and seals are intact. Key lubrication points include:
(1) Rotary bearings
(2) Roller bearings
(3) All gears
(4) Movable bearings and sliding surfaces
- Wheel Hoops: Newly installed wheel hoops are prone to loosening and require frequent inspection.
- Component Inspection: Regularly check all parts of the machine for normal operation.
- Wear Parts: Monitor the wear and tear of easily worn parts and replace them promptly.
- Chassis Plane: Keep the chassis plane of the movable device free of dust and debris. This ensures the movable bearing can shift smoothly on the chassis when encountering unbreakable materials, preventing severe accidents.
- Bearing Temperature: If bearing oil temperature rises, stop the machine immediately to identify the cause and resolve the issue.
- Gear Noise: If rotating gears produce impact noises during operation, stop immediately for inspection and troubleshooting.
Installation and Commissioning
- The equipment should be installed on a level concrete foundation and secured with anchor bolts.
- During installation, ensure the main body is completely vertical to the horizontal plane.
- After installation, check all bolts for looseness and verify that the main host cabin door is securely fastened. Tighten if necessary.
- Configure the power cord and control switch according to the equipment's power specifications.
- Upon completing inspections, perform a no-load test run. Proceed to production only if the test run is normal.
