Formulation machine in mixer

1. Material input

All kinds of materials to be mixed enter the mixing machine through different feed ports. These intakes can usually be adjusted according to the characteristics and requirements of the material to ensure smooth access to the mixing chamber. For example, powder materials can be fed by screw conveyor or pneumatic conveying; For liquid materials, they can be pumped or piped.

2. Measurement system

Mixers are usually equipped with precise metering systems to ensure that each material is mixed in predetermined proportions. The measuring system can use different technologies, such as load sensors, volume gauges, etc.

• Weighing sensor: By measuring the weight of the material to determine the amount of its addition. When the material enters the weighing bin, the weighing sensor will monitor the weight change of the material in real time and transmit the signal to the control system. The control system controls the start and stop of the feeding device according to the preset formula ratio to achieve the purpose of accurate measurement.
• Volume meter: By measuring the volume of the material to determine the amount of its addition. This measurement method is suitable for materials with good fluidity, such as liquid or granular materials. The volume meter usually uses flowmeters, metering pumps and other equipment to achieve accurate measurement by controlling the flow of materials.

3.the mixing process

After the material enters the mixing chamber, the mixing machine begins the mixing operation. There are several main mixing methods:

• Mechanical mixing: The material is mixed by rotating mixer. The shape and structure of the agitator can be designed according to the characteristics of the material and mixing requirements, and the common agitators are propeller type, turbine type, anchor type and so on. The rotation speed and direction of the mixer can also be adjusted as needed to achieve the best mixing results.
• Air mixing: The use of air to blow up the material and form turbulent flow in the mixing chamber, so as to achieve the mixing of the material. This mixing method is suitable for powdered materials, and has the advantages of fast mixing speed and high mixing uniformity.
• Vibration mixing: the vibration device makes the mixing chamber vibrate, so that the material is mixed with each other under the action of vibration. This mixing method is suitable for granular materials, and has the advantages of good mixing effect and not easy to produce delamination.

4. discharge material

When the material mixing reaches the predetermined uniformity, the mixing formulation machine will discharge the mixed material through the discharge port. The discharge port can usually be adjusted as needed to meet different discharge requirements. For example, automatic discharge valves, screw conveyors and other equipment can be used to discharge materials to improve production efficiency and automation.

In short, the mixing machine through the accurate metering system and effective mixing method, can be a variety of different components of the material in accordance with the specific proportion of mixing, so as to meet the requirements of different production processes.
