Introduction of Dry Powder Mixer Machine

FAQ

1.Can A Dry Powder Mixer Be Used For Home Purposes?

Yes, dry powder mixing machines can be used by individuals and industries. A small capacity for individuals is suitable while big capacity is suitable for industries.

2.What Is the Application of a Dry Powder Mixer?

A dry powder mixer machine is essential in the processing of a wide range of products. It can customize mixing solutions for construction, agricultural chemicals, food, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and other industries by mixing powders with liquids and granules. Ingredients are properly mixed using a dry powder blender.

3.What Is the Difference Between Different Types of Mixers?

The difference between different types of mixer:

A ribbon mixer, also called a single ribbon mixer or double ribbon mixer, has a unique design of a horizontal U-shaped casing with a rotating agitator. The agitator is made up of two helical ribbons that let convective motion flow in two directions, resulting in powder and bulk solids mixing.

A paddle mixer is also called a single-shaft paddle mixer, double-shaft paddle mixer, or paddle mixer opening type. A double-shaft paddle mixer has two shafts with counter-rotating blades, while a single-shaft paddle mixer has a different angle of blades to mix up the product inside the machine, causing cross-mixing. A compact design with rotational shafts filled with hoppers achieves paddle mixer opening type mixing consistency of up to 99 percent.

V mixer consists of a work-chamber connected by two cylinders forming a “V ” shape. It can be mixed evenly and used widely for dry powder and granular materials. It can produce a solid-solid mixture. 

4.What Is the Working Principle of a V Mixer, Ribbon Mixer, and Paddle Mixer?

Ribbon mixer has ribbon agitator and a U-shaped chamber for highly- balanced mixing of materials. The ribbon agitator is made up of inner and outer helical agitators. The inner ribbon moves the material from center to outside while the outer ribbon moves the material from two sides to the center and it is combined with rotating direction when moving the materials. A dry powder mixer gives a short time on mixing while providing a better mixing effect.

V Mixer is made up of two cylinders that are positioned in a “V” shape. An intensifier bar can be added to the V mixer which can help in mixing and breaking up materials. The amount of material put into the v mixer has an impact on its efficiency. The v mixer recommended blender’s fill-up volume is 40 to 60% of the overall mixing volume. For this the materials inside the machine can move freely and result in a good mixture.

Paddle mixer the material is thrown from the bottom to the top of the mixing tank by paddles at various angles. Creating a homogeneous mixing effect differs from different sizes and density of the materials. The rotating paddles break and combine the bulk of product in a sequential manner, causing each piece to flow quickly and intensely through the mixing tank.

5.How to Clean the Spots on a Machine Surface?

It is important to clean the spots on a machine to prevent rust on the machine and cross-contamination.

The cleaning procedure includes removing any remaining product and material build-up from the mixing tank as a whole. To do this, the mixing shaft will be cleansed with water.

Following that, the dry powder mixer is cleaned from top to bottom. Cleaning nozzles are either permanently welded to the interior of the socket or can be positioned on the device as a separate washing adapter for this operation.

The rinsing water used to clean the outlets is collected in the mixing container and then used to clean the interior of the mixer, which requires a cleaning agent.

The mixing shaft is used to clean the mixing tank. It rotates back and forth, ensuring intense and turbulent contact between the mixer’s inner surface and the cleaning agent. Any product residue left in the mixer can be absorbed if necessary during this step.

It is important to finish drying the mixer with conditioned ambient air. Blowing out the entire system with heated compressed air or using blowers in combination with absorption dryers has been shown to be effective.

6. How to Confirm If the Machine Material is SS304 or SS316?

304 stainless steel is a multipurpose stainless steel that has a higher rust resistance than stainless steels in the 200 series. It is also better to have a high temperature resistance. The corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel is outstanding, as is the resistance to intergranular corrosion. While 316 stainless steel the corrosion resistance and high temperature strength of 316 stainless steel have greatly improved. It has a high temperature resistance of 1200-1300 degrees and can be used in harsh environments.

7.How Can I Find a Third Party to Check the Mixer Machine Quality?

The recommended third party is SGS, BV ,which is a famous institution for goods quality inspection.  They have branches in most countries in the world, you can search the internet and get their contact info easily.

8.How Long Does it Take to Ship the Machine from China?

It takes 7–10 days to produce a standard model. If you want to customize your dry powder mixing machine, your machine can be done in 30–45 days. Shipped by air, it takes 7–10 days. Shipping by sea takes 10–60 days. It depends on your location.

9.How Many Minutes is the Mixing Time?

It takes 5–10 minutes to be effective in mixing. For smaller models such as 100L, 200L, and 300L, the mixing time is within 3 minutes. Larger models, such as 3000L, 5000L, and 10,000, require more time to mix materials. Dry and solid ingredients are a simple process that can be easily blended by the dry powder mixer. It can handle the bulk density of ingredients and give the right sized result. 

10.Is the Dry Powder Mixer Water-Proof?

The standard design dry powder mixer machine is not fully water-proof. You can clean the tank inside by water washing freely,  but the electrical control box and motor & gear are not water-proof, you need to wipe with dry or wet cloth. However, these parts can be customized to water-proof design, to make a stainless steel shade to cover the control box button, and the motor & gearbox, then you can wash the whole machine by water freely.  This requirement should be informed before placing the order.

11.Why is it Effective for Many Industries?

It is commonly used for dry solid blending, liquid materials and is used in the following applications:

Pharmaceutical industry: mixing prior to powders and granules.

chemical industry: metallic powder mixtures, pesticides, herbicides, and many more.

The food processing industry: cereals, coffee mixes, dairy powders, milk powder, and many more.

Construction industry: steel preblends and etc.

Plastics industry: mixing of masterbatches, mixing of pellets, plastic powders, and many more.

Polymers and other industries.

Many industries are now using dry powder mixers.
