The
mixing chamber can be both heated and cooled to facilitate heat transfer and maintain melt viscosity for effective mixing.
The new range of Gericke single-shaft paddle batch mixers feature rotating paddles that divide and blend sequentially the mass of product and generate a quick and intense movement of each particle through the
mixing chamber. Due to the defined angles of the paddles, the mixer has both axial and radial dispersion.
Layback refers to the ram position at full down stroke and where in the
mixing chamber throat it sits, above the position where the chamber bore/sides and throat are conjoined (figure 1).
Feeding and draining channels of the first
mixing chambers are then closed and the second
mixing chamber is fed according to the same procedure, with the second component of the blend which does not contain any fluoresceine.
"There is easy access to all material contact surfaces of the blender, hoppers, feeders, weigh chamber, and
mixing chamber, permitting rapid color change without the use of tools." www.maguire.com.
The Artist Series modules feature an LED array within a
mixing chamber below a separated phosphor plate.
The
mixing chamber is removable for cleaning and the complete structure is protected with impact resistant powder coating.
Dual access
mixing chamber doors for easy cleaning and maintenance.
It dispenses each component with the highest precision directly into the
mixing chamber. The piston system is electro-hydraulically driven, a linear drive concept which makes piston systems with small construction volumes possible and creates an extremely compact arrangement of the components.
The shaft speed is variable from 1000 to 3500 rpm and a set of pneumatically operated, external rollers continuously flex the
mixing chamber keeping it clear of build-up and maintaining the mixing condition.
