The difference between a continuous mixer and an indirect mixer

Mondo Science Updated on 2024-01-30

How it works.

A continuous mixer is a kind of equipment that continuously mixes and conveys, and its working principle is similar to that of a screw conveyor. After the material enters the mixer from the feed port, the mixing effect is produced by the continuous rotation of the propeller and the mutual friction between the materials and the materials, and is conveyed and discharged during the mixing process. The batch mixer is a kind of mixing equipment that operates intermittently in a timely manner according to the viscosity of the material, and its mixing time and intermittent time can be set manually by the operator. This type of mixer is especially suitable for mixing viscous and easily adherent materials, such as colloidal materials and clay.

Productivity. Since the continuous mixer can produce continuously, it has a higher production efficiency. Batch mixers, on the other hand, need to stop adding new materials before each mixing, so their production efficiency is lower than that of continuous mixers.

Process complexity.

Since continuous mixers require uninterrupted production, more advanced control systems are needed to ensure production efficiency and concrete quality. In contrast, the process of batch mixers is relatively simple and requires less advanced control systems.

Scope of application. Continuous mixers are suitable for large-scale, efficient production, while batch mixers are suitable for mixing thick, sticky materials.
