Improved Flowability

At manufacturing sites, challenges such as “powder not flowing” or “clogging” are commonly encountered. Granulation is often an effective solution to these challenges.
In this example, we used a mixed powder of lactose and cornstarch and visualized the improvement in flowability by comparing the angle of repose before and after granulation.

Eirich Intensive Mixer is a high-speed mixer and granulator designed for a wide range of processing tasks involving raw materials, mixtures, and compounds.Optimal material processing is achieved by selecting the appropriate mixing tool shape and rotation speed according to the application.
By adjusting the operating conditions, a single machine can handle multiple processes such as mixing, granulation, kneading, and slurry preparation.The mixer features a jacketed mixing pan for both cooling and heating, and offers a wide range of customizable options to accommodate various processes.

Advantages of the Eirich mixing principles

1. Eccentrically positioned rotor tool (mixing tool)
   The rotor tool shape, rotation direction, and speed range can be selected to suit the application.
2. Tool Set (scrapers)
   It scrapes off raw materials adhering to the inner wall and bottom of the mixing pan, while simultaneously promoting efficient material transfer to the rotor tool.
3. Mixing Pan (mixing vessel)
   Through rotation, all raw materials in the mixing pan are continuously supplied to the rotor tool.

Unique Mechanisms

• Short mixing time and high homogeneity
• Capable of processing raw materials with varying specific gravities
• The rotating mixing pan promotes material movement and reduces residue.
• By selecting the rotor tool shape and adjusting the mixing pan speed, the system can handle complex material processing
• Process integration enables compact and energy-efficient production systems
• Setting optimal operating parameters ensures consistent and reproducible material processing
