1. Dual Shaft Configuration
China dual shaft planetary mixer has two independently driven mixing shafts, each equipped with its set of mixing blades. The dual shaft design allows for more complex and effective mixing action.
2. Planetary Motion
The term "planetary" refers to the motion of the mixing blades. The mixing blades move in both a rotating motion around their own axis and an orbiting motion around the central axis of the mixing bowl or vessel. This dual motion creates a planetary mixing pattern.
3. Mixing Blades
Each shaft is equipped with mixing blades that come into contact with the materials being mixed. The design of these blades can vary, and they are often chosen based on the specific characteristics of the materials being processed.
4. Variable Speed and Direction
The mixing shafts are typically equipped with motors that allow for variable speed control. This feature provides flexibility in adjusting the mixing intensity according to the requirements of different matrials. Some dual shaft planetary mixers are also offer the ability to change the direction of rotation.
5. Scrapers or Wipers
To enhance mixing efficiency and prevent material buildup on the vessel walls, JCT Machinery's dual shaft planetary mixer include scrapers or wipers. These components help to ensure that all material is continuously brought into contact with the mixing blades.
