PerMix Vacuum Mixer and Dryer - Vacuum Mixing and Vacuum Mixers

Working Principle of PerMix Vacuum Mixers/Dryers

The PerMix Vacuum Mixers/Dryers operate by combining the principles of mechanical mixing and vacuum technology, ensuring efficient mixing, drying, and uniform heat transfer in a controlled environment. Here’s how they work:

1. Loading and Sealing

• Raw materials (powders, granulates, or pastes) are loaded into the mixing chamber, either manually or through vacuum loading systems.
• The chamber is sealed airtight, enabling the creation of a controlled vacuum environment. This prevents external contamination and reduces oxidation.

2. Mixing Action

• The mixing element (e.g., ribbon, plow, paddle, or screw) rotates, creating a mechanical mixing action tailored to the material properties:
  • Ribbon and Paddle Mixers: Provide gentle, uniform mixing for powders and granulates.
  • Plow Mixers: Ensure fast and efficient blending with high-intensity mixing.
  • Conical Screw Mixers: Offer precise and delicate mixing, ideal for sensitive or segregative powders.
  • Fluidized Zone Mixers: Create a “weightless” mixing environment for ultra-fast blending.

This continuous motion ensures homogeneous mixing, while integrated choppers (if included) break down lumps or agglomerates.

3. Vacuum Environment

• A vacuum pump removes air and moisture from the chamber.
• Low pressure inside the mixer lowers the boiling point of moisture or solvents, enabling drying at reduced temperatures, which is crucial for heat-sensitive materials.

4. Heating and Cooling

• The jacketed chamber provides precise temperature control using steam, water, or thermal oil:
  • During the heating phase, heat transfers through the jacket into the product, accelerating the drying process.
  • For temperature-sensitive materials, cooling can be introduced to maintain product integrity.

5. Drying Process

• The vacuum environment facilitates rapid evaporation of moisture or solvents from the product.
• The vacuum system can recover evaporated solvents through a condensing column, improving efficiency and enabling solvent reuse.

6. Discharge

• Once mixing and drying are complete, the product is discharged through a bottom valve or port.
• For sticky or difficult-to-discharge materials, optional tilting mechanisms or discharge screws ensure easy removal.

Advantages of the Working Principle

1. Faster Processing: Vacuum reduces drying time significantly compared to conventional methods.
2. Energy Efficiency: Lower boiling points mean less energy is required for heating.
3. Product Quality: Gentle mixing and controlled temperatures prevent degradation of sensitive materials.
4. Versatility: Adapts to a wide variety of materials, from free-flowing powders to viscous pastes.
5. Safety and Hygiene: Closed system minimizes contamination and complies with sanitary standards.

This working principle makes PerMix Vacuum Mixers/Dryers ideal for applications requiring precise mixing, efficient drying, and strict quality control, all in one machine.
