Unveiling the Features of the Dual Planetary Mixer

As an efficient and multifunctional equipment widely used for homogenization or slurry mixing, the dual planetary mixer is known for mixing electrode materials both cathode and anode in lithium batteries because it can achieve uniform mixing performance in a short time, thus ensuring uniformity and stability of the electrolyte. It can adjust power and speed according to different materials and process requirements, with low energy consumption, and the operation is safe and reliable.

The fields or industries in which planetary mixer is widely used are pharmaceuticals, chemical materials, etc., and even aerospace polymer materials. Thanks to its high automation and simple operation with the PLC control system, the mixing vessel has no severe vibration or climbing up and down when the machine is running, which is safe and stable. Precise temperature control is available for quick cooling and is visualized on the touchscreen panel.

The planetary mixer is also adaptable to high-viscosity materials with no dead angle during mixing as the rotation speed and the types of stirring paddle can be selected flexibly. The inner wall of the mixing barrel is fully polished, so no material or slurry is left sticking. The close connection and cooperation of the mixing system, drive system, hydraulic system, sealing system, and electric control box that concludes the vacuum planetary mixer guarantees thorough and efficient mixing.

Meanwhile, the mixing barrel does not rotate, but the stirring paddle and dispersion disc rotate and revolve inside the fixed barrel. The low stirring speed and the high dispersion speed can be set separately. During this process, the material is subjected to strong kneading and shearing. In addition, the sealing system provides seamless sealing performance throughout to prevent air and oil leakage, ensuring the cleanliness of the working environment and the efficiency and quality of slurry mixing.

Last but not least, the linear speed of the planetary mixer can reach up to 25m/s, greatly saving dispersion time by completely breaking the agglomeration and refining the solid particles, thus improving the stability and consistency of the mixing slurry. The circular movement of the planetary mixer's stirring paddle and dispersion disc requires components with higher precision. The precision tolerance of core components is strictly limited, and factors such as concentricity must be considered while ensuring flatness. Usually, the tolerance is required below 30μm, otherwise, it will seriously affect the main performance such as sealing and stirring sufficiency.
