Mixing
Efficient Mixing Solution from IDAH
IDAH designs and manufactures a single paddle mixer, twin paddle mixer,
single ribbon mixer, and double ribbon mixer. Among our mixer lines, the
twin paddle mixer is the most efficient one.
Finer details and more features are added to IDAH twin shaft
mixers such as pre-assembled spray nozzles with compressed air for pipe
cleaning, hygienic design double-walled stainless steel material for the
food sector application, and incorporation of load-cell. Various sizes
are available, from laboratory scale up (20 liters) to industrial-scale
(5000 liters).
Mixing Action and Changes of Coefficient of Variance (C.V.)
Mixing is an action of tumbling, rotating, and distributing to
incorporate ingredients with unique characteristics and phases. In
general, there are batch type and continuous type mixers. The twin
paddle mixer comprises two opposing rotating shafts with multiple
paddles arranged at a certain angle that will distribute the material
top to bottom and corners to center for mixing action. A fully open
discharge door ensures that material will not be left behind. The
design of the paddles can guarantee low shearing, efficient, and fast
mixing action for powders, pellets, grains, and granular materials.
For every mixture, there is an optimal mixing time, where the material
will have the lowest C.V. Usually mixing time will be around 60 up to
120 seconds. Further mixing will only lead to segregation.
The mixing chamber of the twin paddle mixer resembles a water
droplet shape. The angle ensures less to no material sticking on the
wall. This mixer can operate with a flexible loading rate from 40%
up to 120% of the normal operating capacity with one machine. The
movement of the paddle ensures material from both sides will be
directed to the middle part and mixed.
