Planetary Mixer Oscillating Granulator
PLM is an ideal for the products fo different viscosities, densities, shapes & proportions. The major use includes the production of latexes, adhesives, personal care & cleaning products, dispersion & micro- dispersion of chemical & agricultural pesticide formulations. It is suitable for mixing / blending powders as well as through mixing of ointments, creams, lotions, toothpastes, resins, slurries, ceramics, colour, pigments, rubber & other compounds etc.
PLM is consists of a single blade or double blade with a high dispersion blade ( Emulsifier/Homogenizer). Intimate & homogenizer mixing of products is achieved by planetary motion of beaters & centrally located high speed dispersion blade for vacuum jacketed mixer unit. The PLM consists of two open beaters moving in planetary motion, scraper blade & centrally located high speed homogenizer run by a separate motor to manufacture ointments, creams, suspensions etc.
It is a stator- rotor high shear mixer. High speed, high shear & higher power are the main characteristics of stator-rotor mixing device. The high shear action creates a forced product flow. The interchangeability of homogenizer blades are possible to suit the mixing requirements of various products. They are used in many process operations like homogenization, dispersion, emulsification, grinding, dissolving, chemical reaction, cell disruption & coagulation.
PLM is also used for blending, mixing & homogenizing powders of various bulk densities by rectangular shaped or heart shaped ( smaller sized mixers) beaters.
All contact parts- AISI-304 or 316, 304L or 316L
Jacketed bowls can be provided for heating/ cooling of products during mixing.
Bowl mounted on castor wheels for easy mobility.
Provision to mix products under vacuum for de-aireation purpose.
Mechanical seal is provided instead of stuffing box for shaft sealing for vacuum operation.
Teflon scrappers are provided to avoid localized heating or cooling & ensure uniform mixing.
Top drive & agitator assembly can be lifted & lowered by motorized as well as hydraulic system.
Smaller version of Planetary Mixers are provide with lifting arrangement for the bowl instead of top drive & agitator assembly.
Pneumatic system is also available for lifting & lowering top drive & agitator assembly for small version of Planetary Mixers.
Flame proof control panel as optional.
Spare bowl is provided so that maximum production can be achieved without losing production time. Thus the maximum utilisation of the basic machine for the regular production.
Available in Standard/GMP/cGMP/GAMP/GLP/ GCP & Lab Models.
