Double helical spiral mixer

Abstract

Recent advances in mixer and blender designs have contributed to the growing success of food companies, meeting their requirement for consistency and developing new products while also lowering production costs. This paper discusses both traditional and new specialty mixing technologies available to food manufacturers today. Phase and viscosity are used to classify different mixing categories. Sample applications are presented as well to illustrate certain processing challenges and the mixing technologies used to resolve them.[In conventional method of mixing the metal oxide powder and vehicle mixing is carried out on ‘Unidirectional Stirring Machine’ The stirrer of conventional machine rotates in one direction only which creates a particular flow pattern in the fluids hence the particles tend to stick to the walls of container owing to the centrifugal force rather than mixing thoroughly in mixture of paint, ultimately results into poor quality mixture of paints there by poor quality output of paint].
