Planetary Mixer

Planetary mixing is a specialized mixing equipment used in industries like pharma, Chemical, food and cosmetics. This process involves the use of a planetary mixer, a distinctive piece of equipment tailored to simultaneously mix, knead, and blend various ingredients.

The equipment integrates mixing, vacuuming, heating, cooling, and homogenizing functions into a single machine, significantly reducing cycle time.

The planetary mixer's mixing system is based on a combination of a planetary-rotating paddle agitator. Two anchor-type agitators with cross baffles rotate counterclockwise with planetary motion in three axes. Simultaneously, the paddle revolves clockwise with planetary action, disrupting the usual circular flow pattern and minimizing vortex formation. Additionally, adjustable scrapers prevent stagnant film buildup between the agitator and vessel, ensuring efficient heat transfer during heating and cooling.

The top mixing blade assembly is motorized for up and down movement during container handling. The mixing container is jacketed for heating and cooling and is fully enclosed. It can operate under vacuum to perform mixing without air entrainment. The top lid of the product container includes a charging port for adding binders, an eyeglass window, and a light.

Size: 100 to 2,000 litres.
