Mixing Technology.

In all application ranges for wet grinding and dispersion, the result of the entire process is dependent on the quality of the pre-treatment, i.e., mixing and pre-dispersion of the raw materials. Buhler can supply the suitable solution – from individual mixing units through to complete production plants.

Column mixers for small to mid-size batches
Buhler offers different column mixers dependent on application and product viscosity: High speed dissolvers for per-dispersion, butterfly mixers for high viscosity products and twin-shaft mixers for combined mixing and pre-dispersing.

Plant mixers for production lines
For large-scale production plants, solid and liquid components are automatically dosed into the mixing tank. The raw materials are then pre-dispersed under high energy input in the mixing tank and subsequently pumped into a holding tank. After final dispersion by means of agitated media mill or three-roll mill, the final product is fed into storage tanks.

ContiMixer for automated, continuous production
In this process, pre-dispersion takes place in a co-rotating twin-screw mixer. Liquid and powder components are fed in constant short intervals via differential dosing scales or volumetric flow meters. Immediate wetting ensures a constant solid concentration over the entire mixing process thereby clearly reducing the mixing time. The ContiMixer mixing process has been automated as far as possible and is therefore extremely labour-saving.
