Mixer

Double Planetary Mixer

Double Planetary Mixer consists of two identical blades that rotate on their own axes, while they orbit the mix vessel on a common axis. The blades continuously advance along the periphery of the vessel, removing material from the vessel wall and transporting it to the interior. In only 36 revolutions around the vessel, the two blades pass through every point in the product zone, physically contacting the entire batch.

Double Planetary Mixers are available in both Laboratory and Production models, ranging from 5 to 1500 liter mixing capacity.

Application: Double planetary mixers are ideal for low shear processing of viscous materials. Viscous products possessing shear-sensitive behavior, fragile components or abrasive properties require gentle but thorough mixing. In most cases, a double planetary mixer is the best choice for processing such applications.
