Horizontal Stirring Mixer

Introduction

Horizontal stirring mixer is a commonly used industrial mixing equipment, which is used to uniformly mix and stir different materials. It consists of an agitator and a mixing bucket, and the agitator can mix the materials through the movement of rotation and turning.

Working Principle

The working principle of the horizontal stirring mixer is to stir and turn the material through the movement of the stirrer, so as to achieve the effect of mixing. During the mixing process, the material will be continuously turned from the upper part to the lower part, so that the materials at different levels can be fully contacted and mixed.

Type

According to different mixing requirements and material properties, horizontal stirring mixers can be divided into various types. The common types are twin-shaft mixer, spiral mixer, anchor mixer and so on. Different types of mixers have different stirring and mixing methods, which can meet the mixing needs of different materials.

Advantages

1. Good mixing effect: the movement of the agitator can stir and turn the materials in all directions, so that the materials can be mixed evenly.

2. Easy to operate: the stirring and mixing process can be controlled by adjusting the running time and speed, and the operation is relatively simple.

3. Wide range of applications: It can be used for mixing materials with different particle sizes, densities and humidity, and is suitable for many industries such as chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, and food.

4. The equipment is compact: the horizontal mixing mixer is small in size, compact in structure, and occupies a small area.

Uses

1. Chemical industry: It is used for mixing chemical raw materials, such as pigments, dyes, rubber additives, etc.

2. Pharmaceutical industry:  It is used for the mixing of medicines, such as traditional Chinese medicine powder, preparations, etc.

3. Food industry:  It is used for mixing food raw materials, such as condiments, food additives, etc.

4. Pesticide industry:  It is used for the mixing of pesticide raw materials, such as insecticides, herbicides, etc.

5. Other industries: It can also be used for mixing and stirring other granular materials, such as building materials, metallurgy and other industries.

What is the difference between a horizontal stirring mixer and a vertical stirring mixer?

The main difference between a horizontal stirring mixer and a vertical stirring mixer lies in their stirring methods and applicable scenarios.

1. Stirring method:

- Horizontal stirring mixer: the stirring blade is placed horizontally, and the materials are mixed by rotating the blade.

- Vertical stirring mixer: the stirring blade is placed vertically, and the material is mixed by rotating the blade.

2. Applicable scenarios:

- Horizontal stirring mixer: mainly suitable for mixing powdery or granular materials, such as chemical, food, pharmaceutical and other industries.

- Vertical stirring mixer: mainly suitable for mixing viscous materials, such as paste and jelly materials. Commonly used in cosmetics, paints, adhesives and other fields.

3. Structural design:

- Horizontal stirring mixer: usually consists of a horizontally rotating shaft, mixing blades and mixing barrel.

- Vertical stirring mixer: usually consists of a vertically rotating shaft, mixing blades and mixing barrel, and can also be equipped with bottom or side scrapers for more uniform mixing of materials.

In short, the horizontal stirring mixer has the advantages of good mixing effect, easy operation, and wide application range, and is widely used in the mixing and stirring process of materials in various industries.
