As a kind of high-efficiency and multi-functional mixing equipment, high-speed mixing unit is widely used in many fields such as plastics, chemical industry, food, battery manufacturing and medicine. In this paper, the high speed mixing unit will be introduced in detail from the scope of applicable raw materials, main application fields, unit structure characteristics, brief description of working principle, automation degree, performance advantage analysis and maintenance points.

▏Range of applicable raw materials

The high speed mixing unit is suitable for mixing many types of raw materials, including but not limited to powder, particles, additives, toner, masterbatch, plastic, etc. Specifically, it can handle various resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc., as well as engineering plastics such as ABS and polycarbonate. In addition, the high-speed mixing unit can also handle special materials such as phenolic resin and ternary cathode materials for lithium batteries.

▏Main application areas

High speed mixing units play an important role in many fields because of their efficient mixing capacity and wide application range. It mainly includes:

Plastic processing: used to mix modified plastics and prepare the masterbatch of plastic particles.

Chemical production: used for the mixing of fine chemicals, as well as the uniform mixing of fertilizers, metal powders and other materials.

Food processing: used for the mixing of food raw materials to ensure the consistency of taste and quality of food.

Battery manufacturing: Used for processing lithium battery ternary cathode materials.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing: used for the uniform mixing of drug ingredients to ensure the efficacy and safety of drugs.

▏Unit structure characteristics

The high-speed mixing unit is usually composed of a mixing groove, rotating blade, transmission device, discharge door, cooling/heating device, etc. The specific structural characteristics are as follows:

Mixing tank: The conical container is provided with an inlet for materials and binders to facilitate the mixing and unloading of materials.

Rotating blade: A specially shaped stirring blade mounted on the main shaft that can rotate at high speeds and produce strong shear and turbulence effects.

Transmission device: composed of motor, belt wheel and reducer box, it can drive spindle and rotating blade for high-speed rotation.

Discharge door: installed on the side of the mixing tank, driven directly by the cylinder, easy to discharge the mixed material.

Cooling/heating device: used to adjust the temperature of the material during mixing to ensure the mixing effect.

▏Brief description of working principle

The operating principle of the high speed mixing unit is based on diffusion, shear force and turbulence effect. When the motor is started, the spindle and rotating blade are driven by the transmission device for high-speed rotation. The shear force and turbulence effect produced by the rotating blade make the material form a whirlpool in the mixing tank, so as to achieve uniform mixing of the material. At the same time, the cooling/heating device can regulate the temperature of the material to ensure the optimal mixing effect.

▏Description of degree of automation

High speed mixing units usually have a high degree of automation. Electrical control using imported original and equipped with PLC and the latest computer control, can achieve automatic operation. By setting parameters such as mixing time and temperature, the unit can automatically complete the mixing process, and has functions such as fault alarm and shutdown protection. In addition, some units also have the capability of remote monitoring and remote operation, which is convenient for users to carry out remote management and maintenance.

▏Performance advantage analysis

High-speed mixing units have significant performance advantages, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

High efficiency: Mixing and stirring operations can be carried out at a very high speed, greatly shortening the production cycle.

Uniformity: Through the high-speed rotating agitator or mixing paddle, the material can be deeply and comprehensively mixed to achieve an extremely uniform ideal state.

Versatility: With adjustable speed and well-designed agitator, it can be flexibly adjusted and adapted to different types and viscosities of materials.

Low operating cost: the capital construction cost is relatively low, the operation process is stable and firm, and it has practical drying treatment function, which improves the efficiency and safety of raw material transportation.

Energy saving and environmental protection: the vibration amplitude is very small during operation, and the noise generated is also very low, which meets the requirements of energy saving and environmental protection.

▏Maintenance points

In order to ensure the long-term stable operation of the high-speed mixing unit, regular maintenance is required. Specific points are as follows:

Regular inspection: regularly check whether the connected parts of the equipment are tightened and not loose, whether each running part is flexible, and whether the agitator is firmly installed.

Cleaning and maintenance: the mixing container and the discharge chamber should be cleaned regularly without dirt. When changing materials or colors, the mixing container and the discharge area must be cleaned.

Lubrication maintenance: The gear reducer, bearings and other parts in the transmission device need to be lubricated regularly to ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting: When abnormal noise or vibration occurs during the operation of the equipment, it should be stopped immediately for inspection, and the damaged parts should be replaced and repaired immediately.

Regular maintenance: According to the equipment usage and the manufacturer's recommendations, periodically repair and replace key components to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.
