Grease production usually uses reactor or planetary mixer, the specific choice depends on the grease formula, production scale and process requirements. Here are some features of both devices:
1. Applicability
Reactor is usually suitable for the production of high viscosity materials such as grease. They can handle large volumes of material and provide strong mixing and stirring effects.
2. Heating and Cooling
Reactor usually has heating and cooling systems that help control the temperature of the reactioin process. For some grease production processes, it is critical to ensure that reactions occur within the appropriate temperature range.
3. High Temperature Reactions
If the grease production process requires high temperature reaction steps, a reactor may be more suitable.
1. Mixing Effect
Planetary mixer is suitable for mixing and kneading high viscosity materials and can provide uniform mixing effect. Their agitator design helps mix materials together efficiently.
2. Fine Mixing
The agitator motion of the planetary mixer allows for relatively fine and uniform mixing, which is suitable for grease production that requires a high degree of uniformity.
3. Flexibility
Planetary mixers are generally flexible and suitable for small to medium scale production.
