What is Double Planetary Mixer | JCT Machinery

Double Planetary Mixer is a type of industrial mixing equipment used for blending, kneading, dispersing, and mixing various materials. It is particularly well-suited for applications that require precise and consistent mixing of high-viscosity substances, such as adhesives, pastes, gels, and some food and pharmaceutical products.

Planetary Motion: The name "Double Planetary Mixer" refers to its two primary movements. It has a central agitator (often a mixing blade) that rotates on its own axis, and it orbits around the center of the mixing vessel. This combination of motions creates a "Double Planetary" effect, ensuring thorough mixing and uniform dispersion.

Mixing Blades: The central agitator can have various types of blades, such as paddle blades, saw-tooth blades, or other mixing elements, depending on the specific application.

Ariable Speed and Agitation: Double Planetary Mixers typically offer variable speed controls, allowing for precise control over the mixing process. This is important for adapting to different material viscosities and mixing requirements.

Heating and Cooling Options: Some Double Planetary Mixers are equipped with heating or cooling jackets, which allow for precise temperature control during the mixing process, a feature important in applications that require specific temperature conditions.

Material Loading and Discharge: These mixers have loading ports for introducing raw materials into the mixing vessel and discharge mechanisms (e.g., tilting vessels, valves) for removing the finished product.
