What is Double Planetary Mixers

FLE double planetary mixer is a new type of mixing equipment developed according to the principle of planetary rotation. The device has two planetary blades for mixing materials. The double planetary mixer rotates around a common sun gear in the mixing vessel along the planetary gear, while the two planetary blades rotate around their respective axes at high speed. This planetary system provides increased mixing safety and stability for a wide variety of industries, making it an optimal solution for high viscosity materials, powders and other challenging materials.

How to Choose the Style of Double Planetary Mixer?

FLE has the following common double planetary mixer styles: frame type, twist type, claw type, and butterfly type. You could choose different styles of mixers according to materials with different viscosities.

1、The frame type has the best kneading performance on the material. The straight frame has no helix. The material is squeezed at high frequency and kneaded continuously like kneading. Since the contact surface of the frame shape is empty, the material can be oval-shaped during the kneading process. The material overflows from the box and squeezes and mixes to achieve the most cost-effective mixer.

2、The twist type twist is when the material climbs up the slope according to the twisted helix. Since both kneading and climbing are required, the mixing speed is fast and the efficiency is high. The disadvantage is that the material is easy to be on the upper end of the stirring tool, and the high-viscosity material accumulated on it, which cannot slide down. A small number of materials have no stirring effect.

3、The claw type mixing trajectory is the best. The claw type not only has a small amount of climbing like the twist type, but also takes into account the kneading ability of the frame type. However, the mixing rod of the claw is round and the mixing efficiency is not as high as the frame type.

The base, viscosity is too large, the resistance will cause dispersion on the dispersion axis, and the dynamic viscosity during the stirring process is lower than the static viscosity

4、Butterfly mixing is suitable for materials with slow fluidity, but materials with low viscosity do not necessarily choose double planetary mixers. For example, a planetary mixer is only recommended when the viscosity of the material is greater than that of toothpaste. But FLE respects and caters to the different needs of customers.

The great advantage of the Double Planetary Mixer

FLE double planetary mixer has a patented design: the lifting column, which solves the problem that the sealing ring is easily damaged. FLE developed and designed a lifting guide rail, which can relieve the bearing capacity for excessive oil pollution, paint and grease in the oil tank. The solid square frame contains eight roller spheres surrounding the column, which is theoretically like a train track and will not sway left and right when running. The power port has three points for one-time power control. Two safety switches are designed next to the material container, the left side is the quick pressure relief port, and the right side is the heat transfer oil inlet.Ensure the safety of equipment operators and improve work efficiency.

Application Industry of Double Planetary Mixer

FLE double planetary mixer is suitable for stirring, dispersing, shearing, emulsifying, dissolving, mixing and reacting of various high-viscosity materials. Such as ink, electronics, silicone sealant, pigment, chemical industry, food, medicine, polymer lithium-ion battery electrolyte, epoxy resin, polyurethane sealant, cosmetics, adhesives, anaerobic adhesive, ointment adhesive, mold adhesive, etc.

Features of Double Planetary Mixer

FLE double planetary mixer consists of a geared motor, a planetary carrier, an agitator, a material bucket, a wall scraper, a hydraulic lifting system and a frame. 

FLE double planetary mixer usually consists of two stirring blades and a scraping blade. The two planetary stirring blades revolve around the common axis along the inner wall of the container and at the same time rotate around their own axis. The blades rotate around the inner wall of the container and continuously bring Take the material on the container and bring the material to the middle. After one revolution, the paddle has passed the entire container. After three revolutions, most of the materials have been fully mixed. After only 36 revolutions, all the materials are completely mixed evenly.

FLE double planetary mixer has the characteristics of low speed and high torque. It not only has a stirring effect on high-viscosity materials, but also has the ability to shear and knead materials. It is the most flexible and effective equipment for mixing and dispersing high-viscosity materials, thixotropic materials and heat-sensitive materials.
