Planetary Mixer
- Video
Planetary mixers are suitable for thick pastes, slurries, and high-solid materials that need strong mixing without leaving unmixed areas inside the vessel. They have mixing blades that rotate on their own axes while also moving around the center of the tank, creating a planetary motion that carries the blades through different parts of the batch. As the material is folded, pressed, and sheared repeatedly, powders and liquids become more evenly distributed, and the mixture develops a more uniform consistency. Planetary motion works well for high-viscosity processing because the blades cover a wide area inside the tank and keep dense materials moving through the full mixing zone.

- The planetary mixing blades rotate on their own axes while moving around the center of the tank, allowing the material to be folded, pressed, and mixed through different areas of the vessel instead of staying in one position.
- The blade movement helps process high-viscosity pastes, slurries, high-solid formulations, and non-Newtonian materials that are difficult to mix evenly with standard agitators.
- Strong kneading, compression, and shear help powders and liquids combine more evenly, reduce unmixed areas, and improve batch consistency in dense formulations.
- Scraper blades can be added to move material away from the tank wall and bottom, helping reduce material buildup and supporting better heat transfer when heating or cooling is required.
- Vacuum, heating, cooling, metering, and online monitoring options can be configured according to the process. PLC control also supports parameter setting, programmed operation, and easier process management for repeated batches.
Customized Blade Functions
Blade combinations can be customized according to the material viscosity, solid content, flow behavior, and required mixing result. Common options include wall scrapers, folding blades, spiral ribbon blades, twist blades, and high-speed dispersing discs. For example:
- For Battery Slurry: A wall scraper, folding blade, and high-speed dispersing disc can work together to support heat transfer, batch circulation, convective mixing, powder deagglomeration, and fine dispersion.
- For High-Viscosity Kneading: Very thick materials such as silicone rubber, sealants, and other paste-like formulations can be processed with a scraper blade and spiral ribbon blade to improve kneading and material movement.
- For Gentle Homogenizing: Food fillings, ointments, and similar materials can be mixed with a wall scraper and twist blade when the process needs uniform blending with gentler shear.
Customized Vacuum, Heating, and Cooling Systems
Vacuum, heating, and cooling systems can be customized to match the production process and material requirements. For cleaner processing, better corrosion resistance, or higher hygiene control, the mixing parts can be made from food-grade SS316L stainless steel.
