The effect of Triple Shaft Mixer on the particle size of materials during the mixing process is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Crushing and refinement: When the Triple Shaft Mixer is working, the high-speed rotating stirring shaft and paddles will exert strong mechanical force on the materials. In particular, the shear force and impact force generated by the high-speed rotation of the flying knife stirring shaft can break larger material particles into smaller particles, so that the material particle size is refined to a certain extent, the specific surface area of the material is increased, and the contact and reaction effect between materials is enhanced.
Dispersion and deagglomeration: For some materials with agglomeration characteristics, the Triple Shaft Mixer can destroy the agglomeration force between material particles and disperse the agglomerates into single particles or smaller agglomerates. Through the synergistic effect of each stirring shaft, the material forms a complex flow field in the mixer, which causes the agglomerates to be continuously stretched, sheared, etc. in the flow field, thereby achieving dispersion and deagglomeration, making the material particle size distribution more uniform.
Optimization of particle size distribution: During the mixing process, materials of different particle sizes are fully mixed, collided and rubbed with each other under the action of the stirring shaft. While large particles are being crushed, small particles will also aggregate to a certain extent, but the overall trend is to develop in the direction of more uniform particle size, making the particle size distribution of the material more concentrated, and improving the uniformity and stability of the material.
Particle size limit: Due to the limitations of the material's own characteristics and equipment performance, the Triple Shaft Mixer has a certain limit to the refinement of the material particle size, and it is impossible to reduce the material particles indefinitely.
