Planetary mixers are a core mechanical addition to any chemical mixing operation. These mixers feature a stationary tank and an offset shaft that rotates the mixing mechanism inside the tank. Chemical mixing equipment is often very large. This means the operations that use them require special electrical setup and extra hazardous materials precautions to use the mixer correctly.
Experienced dealers of chemical milling equipment help customers carefully evaluate their electrical capacity, how much power they need from a mixer, and how many hours at a time they plan on using it. Planetary mixers operate at varying speeds, and some of them will need high monitoring at certain speeds that cause overheating or overmixing.
These mixers can have additional torque in the mechanism design to help them operate efficiently at low speeds. A mixer with higher torque can mix viscous materials and blend shear-sensitive mixes better without overheating or changing the formula due to overmixing. To do their job well, the blades on the high-end mixers are set up double. They will individually rotate and simultaneously move in a pair around the mixing tank. This adds more stirring that is exceptionally even throughout the mixing time than other types of mixers would get for the same amount of operating time.
The tanks on these mixers use a special process for removing the materials once they are mixed. There is a hydraulic plate that presses the mix out of the bottom of the bowl once the opening has been released to do so.
