Multi shaft Mixer

Product Overview

The MIKRONS Multi Shaft Mixer is a robust, high-performance industrial mixer engineered for ultra-high viscosity materials and complex multi-phase formulations. It integrates three distinct mixing actions—low-speed bulk agitation, high-speed dispersion, and intensive homogenization—ensuring uniform product consistency, even in processes exceeding 1 million centipoises.

This versatile system is ideal for manufacturers seeking fast, efficient, and scalable solutions for viscous and incompatible materials, delivering superior blending, particle size reduction, and emulsification in a single batch process.

Product Highlights

  • Three-Stage Mixing Action

    Integrates three independently driven shafts

    • A low-speed open impeller for continuous bulk flow and wall scraping
    • A high-speed disperser disc for intensive shear and particle breakdown
    • A rotor-stator homogenizer for micron-level emulsification

  • Handles Extremely High Viscosities

    Specially engineered to mix materials with viscosities exceeding 1 million cps, including dense polymer-based formulations and multi-phase systems.

  • Efficient Heating and Cooling

    Equipped with sidewall scrapers and impeller risers to enhance heat transfer by maintaining constant contact with vessel walls, ensuring uniform temperature control.

  • Customizable Impeller Options

    Flexible configurations available with auger blades, turbine impellers, sharp-toothed discs, and homogenizer heads—adaptable for a wide range of process requirements.

How the Inline Mixer Works

The MIKRONS Inline Mixer uses a rotor-stator work-head for continuous, high-intensity mixing. Here’s how it operates:

  • Vacuum sealed mixing chamber
  • Jacketed vessel for heating/cooling
  • Explosion-proof motors for hazardous environments
  • Touchscreen PLC control system
  • Custom impeller designs and motor sizing
  • Batch or continuous operation modes

How the Multi Shaft Mixer Works

The MIKRONS Multi Shaft Mixer functions in three integrated phases to ensure complete and uniform processing:

  • Mixing Phase: A low-speed open impeller with three risers initiates product movement, ensuring full-batch circulation. Scrapers attached to the risers continuously clean tank walls and enhance heat exchange.
  • Dispersion Phase: A high-speed disc with sharp teeth creates a vortex and shearing zone, breaking down agglomerates as they collide with the disc or each other.
  • Homogenizing Phase: A rotor-stator system applies intense shear, forcing incompatible fluids and solids into fine emulsions or dispersions, producing a smooth and uniform mixture.
  • These simultaneous actions reduce processing time, increase throughput, and improve product quality across a wide range of high-viscosity applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • 1. What makes the multi shaft mixer suitable for ultra-high viscosity materials?

    The triple-shaft design provides both bulk movement and high-shear zones, ensuring thorough mixing even with materials exceeding 1 million centipoise.

  • 2. Can the mixer be customized for vacuum processing?

    Yes, MIKRONS offers vacuum-compatible models for air-sensitive or foaming materials, preventing air entrapment during mixing.

  • 3. Are all three shafts independently controlled?

    Yes. Each shaft is driven by a dedicated motor and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), allowing precise speed control tailored to your process.

  • 4. What’s the advantage of the rotor-stator unit?

    It delivers high-intensity homogenization, breaking down immiscible phases and ensuring uniform distribution of particles and droplets.

  • 5. What kind of industries use this mixer?

    Common industries include adhesives, sealants, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, coatings, and battery technology—especially where dense and complex material mixing is required.
