What is the structure and working principle of a plastic granule mixer?

Plastic granule mixer is a device used to mix and evenly distribute plastic granules of different types or colors. The following is a detailed explanation of the basic structure and working principle of the plastic granule mixer:

Structure

Mixing chamber: The mixing chamber is the main part of the plastic granule mixer, usually in the shape of a cylinder. It has a certain capacity and a smooth interior, and is used to accommodate and mix granular plastic raw materials.

Stirring device: The stirring device is located in the mixing chamber and is used to fully mix the plastic particles. Usually two or more rotating stirring blades are used. The stirring blades collide, flip and mix the granular plastic raw materials through rotation and friction.

Feed port: The feed port is used to put the plastic particles that need to be mixed into the mixing chamber. Typically located on top of the mixer, feeding can be done manually or automatically.

Discharge port: The discharge port is located at the bottom of the mixer and is used to take out the mixed plastic particles. The discharge flow is usually controlled by opening or rotating a valve.

Driving device: The driving device usually consists of a motor, a reducer and a transmission device, and is used to drive the mixing device to rotate to achieve the mixing of plastic particles.

Working Principle

First, put the plastic particles to be mixed into the mixing chamber through the feed port. The feed amount can be adjusted as needed.

Start the driving device of the mixer, and the motor drives the reducer and transmission device to cause the mixing device to start rotating.

The rotating mixing blades stir, flip and collide the plastic particles to fully mix them.

During the mixing process, masterbatch, additives or other raw materials can be added as needed to achieve color and performance adjustments.

After mixing is completed, turn off the driving device of the mixer, open the discharge port, and take out the mixed plastic particles.

The working principle of the plastic particle mixer is based on the mechanical principle of rotating mixing. Through the rotation and friction of the stirring blades, the plastic particles are collided, flipped and mixed in the mixing chamber, thereby achieving uniform distribution of the particles. The mixing time and speed can be adjusted as needed to achieve the desired mixing effect.

In general, the plastic particle mixer has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can efficiently mix plastic particles of different types or colors to meet the needs of plastic processing and product production.
