*Let us talk about Double Cone Mixer

Double Cone Mixer is used in a variety of industrial segments. It's also known as Tumbler mixer or segregating Mixer. Basically, they are normally non- impeller type unit & doesn't employ blades, screw which we can see in non segregating mixer.Double cone mixer is principally used for meticulously combining "different material" to manufacture a very fine homogeneous product.*

Mixing is most exigent operations in a chemical process plant. Adding to it, Industries such as pharmaceutical, injectable, mineral & foods also depend heavily on mixing technology before further processing or operation like filling, capping etc. For example, in Chemical process plant, it is used to mix specialty chemical, detergent ingredients together. In Pharmaceutical and injectable plant, it is used to mix API (Active pharma ingredient) with natural essential like starch, cellulose, lactose & fructose. In Food, it is used to mix various spices and flavor together.

The basic design of double cone mixer includes the main body of mixers consists of two conical shaped sections, commonly with 45 degree slope, which are finely welded at their bases to a big central cylindrical section. The axis of rotation is at right angles to cone axis & also passes through cylindrical section. The driving motor is placed in one of the two sideways supports holding main mixer body.This mixer has two types of finishes i.e. inlet and outlet. Loading orifice serves as an inlet through which solids are loaded into the mixer. As an outlet there is a hermetic closing butterfly valve through which discharge as well as cleaning done. Mixing takes place in axial direction & as a result of the material moving through the different sections. Further mixing is resulting into very fine homogenous mixture and obviously the speed of rotation required to take into consideration. Speed of axis of rotation is achieved due to the use of worm type of gearbox and speed variation is achieved with the use of sensor less variable frequency control drive. Finally, harmonized solid mixture is discharged through a hermetically closing butterfly valve which can be operated manually or automatically.

Double cone mixers are widely used for batch production in industries. This type of "Tumbler mixer" operates by tumbling the mass of solids inside the revolving vessel.In Today's era, double cone mixers are available in various configurations affecting material movement, masses to be mixed, mixing proficiency & ease of cleaning between batches. For the batch production purpose, double cone mixers are available from 50 liter capacity to 3500 liter capacity.*Fig: Typical Front view of Double Cone Mixer

*Double cone mixer are generally equipped with following featuresUnique conical shape at both ends smoothly enables homogeneous mixing & effortless discharge.As per customer demand, all contact parts can be fabricated using AISI 304 or AISI 316 material.Virtually maintenance free machine.This mixer has a single or double shaft with adjustable mixing paddles.Manually operated butter fly valve at one end of the cone provided for material discharge.All moving parts covered with SS304 covers.Safety guards made from SS304 pipes provided in front of the m/c with limit switch.

*Control Panel fabricated from SS304 material with facility of three phase indication, digital timer & Current measurement Meter & with fully integrated motors and controlsAs per customer requirement, machine can be made available either with left side drive or with right side drive.Speed reduction is easily achievable due to use of worm gear and Variable frequency drive.Inside & outside surface of the cone is completely mirror finished.Machine Structure is built using AISI 304 material.All safety guards & covers made out of SS304 in GMP Model.

*There are various factors which are required to take into consideration while designing the mixer So it is quite pertinent to have that information. First and foremost Properties of materials being mixed are one of the most important factors affecting mixing operation.Each ingredient in a mixture has distinctive physical & chemical characteristics that contribute to the properties of the resultant mixture. Important properties are Bulk Density, Cohesiveness, Adhesiveness, Surface Characteristics, Moisture Content of Solids, density-Viscosity-Surface Tension of Liquids Added, Flow ability, Angle of Response etc.
