Comparison with other methods
Propeller type
[Advantages and disadvantages]
- Mixing takes time.
- The propeller blades directly contact with the material, so loss of material occurs.
- The composition is sheered by the propeller blades, thus damaging the material.
- Accurate and uniform mixing is not possible.
- Cleaning job is required.
- Degassing is not possible.
3-roll type
[Advantages and disadvantages]
- Mixing takes time.
- The rolls directly contact with the material, so loss of material occurs.
- Low viscosity material is not suitable.
- Cleaning job is required.
- There is a risk of caught in the rollers.
Roller type
[Advantages and disadvantages]
- Mixing takes time.
- Air bubbles could be generated during mixing or sedimentation and separation of materials after leaving some time.
- High viscosity material is not suitable.
