Motionless Mixers, or often referred as the Static Mixers, are used for high viscous melt flow mixing of polymers and foods in extrusion service. As with most process equipment, each motionless mixer design has specific advantages and disadvantages that make it more or less suitable for a specific application and installation.
Common Applications
- Sheet
- Blown Film
- Foam sheet
- Profile extrusion
- Co-extrusion
- Pipe
- Extrusion Blow Molding
- Rod & Tubing
- Wire & Cable
- Coatings
- Cereals and other foods
- Fiber extrusion & monofilaments
Advantages
- Reduction of color additives with comparable extrudate color density
- Even thickness across the entire extrudate width
- Streak-free product
- Improved quality when using regrind material
- Foam cell size and cell distribution uniformity
- Improved surface quality
- Improved mechanical characteristics
- Rapid color change-over
