laboratory Mixers

Mixing’ is one of the most important operations applied in all industries dealing with various materials. Mixing is a process through which raw materials are circulated to decrease their heterogeneity in a specific space. The importance and necessity of using mixers can be demonstrated by specifying industries that need this process. For example:

Medical and pharmaceutical industries;
Agricultural industries;
Chemical and petrochemical industries;
Biotechnology industries;
Polymer and Plastics;
Automobile painting and repairing industries;
Health and cosmetics industries;
Food industries;
Water and wastewater treatment;
Pulp and paper;
Mineral processing; and
Construction and civil industries.Based on the mixing mechanism, mixers are classified as dynamic mixers and static mixers. In dynamic mixers, force transmission agents (shaft and impeller) rotate and circulate the fluid. On the other hand, in static mixers, mixing system is stationary and fluid moves inside the system. In dynamic mixers, mixing energy is supplied by an electric motor while in static ones the needed energy results from fluid pressure drop.
