6.What Are The Main Parts Of High Shear Mixer Granulators?

Different types of high shear mixer granulators have different key parts. So here we will introduce the common main parts of every high shear mixer granulators and the optional main parts for some special types of high shear mixer granulators

Main Parts Of the High Shear Mixer Granulator

There are 7 main parts of the high shear mixer granulator including inlet, mixing impeller, cylindrical mixing bowl, discharge port, spray nozzle and vacuum pump, and control system.

Inlet

Inlet is applied for feeding the powder materials.

Mixing Impeller

The mixer impeller is the main part for mixing the material powders and granules. The mixer impeller are the key part of the high shear mixer granulators that consumes the main power.

  • There are two types of mixing impeller including:
  • Axial Flow: Responsible for up and down flow
  • Radial Flow: Responsible for side by side flow.

Cylindrical Mixing Bowl

Cylindrical mixing bowl consists of a container that is in cylindrical shape. Cylindrical mixing bowl is the main part for every high shear mixer granulators to mix the powder materials.

Discharge Port

Discharge port is responsible for the work after the mixing. The product is then transferred into the discharge port that is present at the lower side of a dome.

Spray Nozzle

Spray nozzle helps to spray liquids which act as binders for the binding of powders after the mixing is done, binders need to be added.

Vacuum Pump

Vacuum pump is responsible for operating the entire machine

Control System

Control system actually monitors all the process, contains a control panel with a display and touch screen.

These are all the main parts for all types of the high shear mixer granulator, and all these parts are made from stainless which are not easy to break.

7.What Are The Working Principles Of High Shear Mixer Granulators?

There are 6 steps of the high shear mixer granulators working including granules mixing, shear granulation, granules stirring, crystallization, granules unloading, wet granules step by step.

Each of these steps will be accurately controlled by the high shear mixer granulators. The entire production process does not even require human manipulation.

Powder Processing

Granules Mixing

Granules Mixing

The mixing granulator also has good adaptability to the mixing of coarse materials, fine materials and ultrafine particles, and the disparity between materials will not cause stratification.

Shear Granulation

The high-speed granulation tool and fixed scraper of the mixing granulator perform a series of impact shearing, convection, stirring, mixing, and granulation on the material to realize mechanized adjustment and speed change, and the particle size can be adjusted.

Granules Stirring

The three-dimensional movement effect of the mixer granulator makes the materials continuously shear obliquely and radially, and the shearing surface is constantly moved during work, so that all materials can be stirred efficiently.

Crystallization

After the powder is added, it is equally mixed.  Binders are then sprayed, they basically binds the powder particles together so that the granulation can take place. Powder become wet and crystallization start begin. It is then densified and attrition and breakage of granules occurs.

Granules Unloading

Mixing and granulating machine The tilting mixing and granulating machine meets the quality requirements of various materials, and the quality of the produced fine particles is complete, and the unloading speed of the materials is accelerated after mixing and granulating.

Wet Granules

Since the material through a vacuum (such as the choice of the feeding mode), or other ways to feed into the bin, in the impeller under the action of mechanical force flow, forming trajectory, are mixed evenly in a silo, injecting adhesive, pelletizing knife open.

Material formed by adhesive bonding bridge formation in masterbatch, mechanical energy conversion function, gradually grew up to meet the requirements of the wet particle.

The mixing and granulation of the powder is done so smoothly by using this machine. emulsification, homogenization, dispersion, and disintegration can also be performed by this device.

8.What Are The Differences Between High Shear Mixer Granulators And Low Shear Mixer Granulators?

High shear mixer granulators and low shear mixer granulators are the same type of machine but use different ways of shearing the material. The difference in this method is mainly reflected in three aspects: mixer impellers, powder materials, and power supply.

Mixer Impellers

High shear mixer granulators use high-strength mixing high-speed impellers, which can efficiently and quickly mix various materials.

Low shear mixer granulators use low-strength mixing low-speed impellers, which use flow and low rotational force to mix materials that are easier to mix. Low shear mixer granulators are more suitable for materials that can quickly dissolve each other.

Powder Materials

High shear mixer granulators are able to mix different materials containing liquid and solid components by using high shear mixing technology. High shear mixer granulators are equipped with mixing blades and impellers so that liquid and suspended particles can be mixed evenly. And the speed of mixing blade and impeller can be adjusted.

Low shear mixer granulators can mix mutually soluble materials by using low shear mixing devices. Low shear mixer granulators are equipped with hydrofoil impellers, axial flow turbines and radial flow turbines to mix easily fused materials.

Power Supply

High shear mixer granulators use a dispersed form to shear materials at high speed. The material becomes fluid in the process of being continuously sheared, broken and dissolved by high-speed dispersion. These fluids will be continuously circulated in the horizontal layer of the melting vessel. So this process requires more power and horsepower.

Low shear mixer granulators employ low speed drives, marine propellers and axial turbine impellers to shear, break and dissolve low density, more soluble and sticky materials. This process of shearing and processing materials is kept at a low speed, so the power and horsepower required for this process is lower than that of high shear mixer granulators.

All in all, the high shear mixer granulators are suitable for big business and large chain work and the low shear mixer granulators are suitable for you own use or small business.

Conclusions

High shear mixer granulator has amazing feature and it is a must have equipment in industrial sectors. It has been widely used by pharmaceutical industry in making capsules and tablets.
