What is a continuous mixer?

Continuous mixer is a type of industrial mixing equipment whose main feature is the ability to continuously perform stirring and mixing operations without the need for stops or interruptions. It usually consists of a stirring paddle, a driving device, a feed port and a discharge port. Materials are continuously supplied to the mixer through the feed port. The stirring paddle rotates under the action of the driving device to stir and mix the materials, and then the mixed materials are continuously discharged through the discharge port. Continuous mixers are widely used in many industries and can achieve efficient, continuous and stable mixing processes, improving production efficiency and product quality.

Continuous mixers offer many advantages. First of all, it can achieve continuous production without stopping to wait for material mixing to complete, thus saving time and improving production efficiency. Secondly, the mixing process of a continuous mixer is usually more uniform and stable, which can ensure that the materials are fully mixed, and due to continuous feeding and discharging, the accumulation and clumping of materials can be avoided. In addition, the operation of the continuous mixer is relatively simple and easy to control and monitor. The rotation speed and other parameters of the mixing paddle can be adjusted as needed to meet the mixing requirements of different materials.

What is a continuous mixer used for?

Continuous mixers are widely used in many industries. Here are some common uses:

Chemical industry: Continuous mixers can be used in the production process of mixing chemical raw materials, pigments, dyes, colloids, batters and other chemical materials. They can ensure uniform mixing of materials and improve reaction efficiency and product quality.

Food and Beverage Industry:Continuous mixers are widely used in food and beverage manufacturing processes. They are used to mix food ingredients such as seasonings, jams, batters, sauces, etc. to ensure consistent product taste and improve production efficiency.

Pharmaceutical Industry: In pharmaceutical processes, continuous mixers are used to mix pharmaceutical raw materials, solutions and suspensions. They ensure uniform dispersion of drug ingredients and improve drug solubility and stability.

Environmental protection projects: ontinuous mixers are used to mix water treatment agents, wastewater treatment agents, etc. in environmental protection projects. They help mix and suspend solid particles, improving treatment effectiveness and purifying water quality.

Building materials industry: Continuous mixers can be used to mix building materials such as cement, mortar, concrete, etc. They ensure an even mix of materials, increasing their strength and quality.

What is the difference between batch mixer and continuous mixer?

Batch mixers and continuous mixers are two different types of mixing equipment. They have some differences in mixing methods, working methods and applicable scenarios.

Comparative Item batch mixer continuous mixer
Mixing method A batch mixer is a batch mixing equipment that puts a certain amount of materials into the mixer at one time for mixing and stirring. The mixing process is usually carried out for a set time, then stopped, and the mixed materials are taken out. Mixing this way is discrete and done in one go. A continuous mixer is a mixing equipment with continuous feeding and continuous discharging. The materials are continuously supplied to the mixer, and after continuous stirring and mixing, the mixed materials are continuously discharged. The mixing process is continuous and requires no downtime or interruptions.
Way of working The batch mixer requires loading and unloading operations between each mixing cycle, that is, the equipment needs to be shut down and cleaned before the next mixing cycle. This working method is suitable for mixing needs of small batches and frequent changes of materials. Continuous mixer can realize continuous feeding, mixing and discharge without downtime or intermittent. It can handle large amounts of materials continuously and is suitable for scenarios that require efficient continuous production.
Applicable scene Batch mixers are suitable for small-scale production and flexible mixing needs. It is often used in laboratories, small batch production or scenarios that require frequent replacement of materials. For example, batch mixers are often used for batter mixing and condiment mixing in the baking industry. Continuous mixer is suitable for large-scale production and continuous production needs. It is commonly used in large-scale production lines in chemical, food, pharmaceutical and other industries. For example, chemical reactions in large chemical plants, sauce mixing in food plants, and cement mixing in building materials plants often use continuous mixers.
Advantages Good mixing effect, suitable for small batch production, easy to clean; suitable for occasions with high requirements for mixing quality. Large-scale production, high production efficiency, simple operation, continuous production, suitable for occasions with high requirements for production efficiency.

What is the working principle of continuous mixer?

The working principle of a continuous mixer can be simply described as the following steps:

Feeding: Materials are continuously fed into the continuous mixer through the feeding port. Feeding can be done by gravity, conveyor belts, screw conveyors, etc.

Stirring: Continuous mixers are usually equipped with stirring devices, such as stirring paddles, spiral mixers, etc. The driving device drives the stirring device to rotate so that it stirs in the mixing chamber. The form and construction of mixing devices vary according to specific design and application requirements.

Mixing:While stirring, the materials are mixed evenly. The movement of the stirring device pushes, throws and mixes the materials, causing the materials of different components to interact and diffuse, thereby achieving the mixing effect.

Discharge: The mixed materials are continuously discharged through the discharge port. Discharging can be done by gravity, screw conveyor, extruder, etc.

What is the advantage of continuous mixer?

Improve product uniformity

In a continuous mixing process, material is continuously fed and discharged, so the entire production run is carried out in continuity. This leads to improved product uniformity due to the elimination of the “head” and “tail” sections associated with batch-to-batch variation.

Smaller equipment footprint

Because material is continuously moving through the unit, a continuous mixer does not need to accommodate the space requirements of an entire batch of material at once, so the mixer can be smaller. Material storage requirements are also typically less for continuous operations.

Increased production capacity

The continuous processing of material without the necessary stops associated with batches reduces the overall time required to reach production goals, allowing more product to be produced in the same amount of time. Similarly, producers who switch to a continuous line often see a reduction in labor requirements.

Automation

Continuous mixing also facilitates the integration of a controls system. Mixers are easily automated with various data points being tracked and displayed on a human machine interface (HMI), even allowing for real-time adjustment.
