Dual shaft mixer for high viscosity products
In industries such as adhesives, sealants, and cosmetics, mixing medium to high-viscosity products presents challenges. Uniform dispersion and effective heat transfer are critical for product quality and efficiency.
Ensures uniformity and effective heat transfer
The HHL-II Dual Shaft Mixer/Disperser by Hockmeyer is a high-capacity solution designed for mixing medium to very high-viscosity products. It features a center-mounted low-speed helical or anchor blade, which sweeps the mixing vessel wall, and a high-speed dispersion shaft to ensure proper dispersion. The high-speed shaft provides the shear necessary to disperse or dissolve ingredients, while the low-speed sweep blends and folds the mass in the vessel, improving product uniformity. Patented scrapers on the low-speed blade assist with heat transfer and powder incorporation. Available in sizes from laboratory units to 3500 gallons, the mixer can operate under vacuum, pressure, or atmospheric conditions. The unit includes inverter-driven motors and can be constructed from stainless or carbon steel, depending on application needs. It is particularly applicable to the production of printing inks, sealants, caulks, hot melt adhesives, magnetic media slurry, creams, lotions, and toothpastes.
