Regarding achieving mixing effects through the rotation of the reaction vessel
Thread Content
There are numerous common types of stirrers for reaction vessels, such as paddle-type, impeller-type, frame-type, combined-type, and so on. I wonder if it is possible to achieve stirring by rotating the reaction vessel Especially for materials whose mixing by agitators has adverse effects, if it can be designed in the aforementioned manner, there should be a very large market for it. I would like those of you involved in equipment design, manufacturing, and production to discuss whether this is feasible, especially regarding issues such as material feeding and discharge that arise from it. Thank you!
Container-type rotary mixing equipment is widely used for solid mixing, but sealing seems to be a major issue when it comes to liquid mixing.
Reply 2# yedx_830: It is a reactor, not a mixer. It is mainly aimed at those materials for which mixers can have adverse effects.
“What kind of materials are those whose movement caused by the mixer can have adverse effects? High viscosity? Require small shear? ......Hehe, I’m not quite familiar with your requirements regarding materials and processes; I’ll ask the original poster for advice when I get the chance.
Actually, materials with high viscosity can be stirred using impellers; however, rotating the container first is not feasible due to sealing issues, and the rotation speed is also dangerous – moving something weighing several tons is no easy task at all
