• Reduces dead zones and prevents segregation of particles of different sizes and densities.

• Suitable for sensitive materials where gentle mixing is required.

Energy Efficiency

• Optimized screw rotation minimizes energy consumption while maintaining high mixing performance.

• Reduced operational time compared to traditional mixers.

• Supports eco-friendly production standards with low heat generation.

Durability and Construction

• Stainless steel body and screws provide corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

• Smooth internal surfaces prevent material adhesion and facilitate cleaning.

• Wear-resistant coatings extend component life in high-volume production.

Operational Flexibility

• Adjustable screw speed and rotation direction for different materials.

• Compatible with dry powders, granules, tablets, and sensitive chemical compounds.

• Easy integration into production lines or standalone operations.

Fault Diagnosis and Maintenance

Common Issues

1. Uneven Mixing

• Cause: Incorrect screw speed, overload, or material segregation

• Solution: Adjust screw speed, reduce batch size, ensure proper loading

2. Motor Overheating

• Cause: Prolonged operation or insufficient ventilation

• Solution: Allow cooling periods, check motor ventilation, reduce load

3. Excessive Vibration or Noise

• Cause: Loose screws, misaligned components, or worn bearings

• Solution: Tighten screws, realign mixer, replace bearings

4. Material Adhesion

• Cause: Sticky powders or insufficient cleaning

• Solution: Regular cleaning, use non-stick coatings, adjust mixing time

Preventive Maintenance

• Clean the mixer after each batch to avoid contamination.

• Inspect screws, bearings, and motor regularly.

• Lubricate mechanical components as recommended by the manufacturer.

• Verify electrical connections and safety devices before each operation.

Operation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Ensure the mixer is clean and all screws and components are properly installed.

2. Loading Material: Fill the mixer according to batch capacity; avoid overloading.

3. Parameter Setting: Set the appropriate screw speed, rotation direction, and mixing time.

4. Mixing Process: Start the mixer, monitor operation, and observe material flow.

5. Discharge: Open the bottom outlet, collect mixed materials, and check uniformity.

6. Cleaning: Clean the mixer thoroughly before the next batch to prevent contamination.
