Mixing kettle

The term ‘mixing kettle’ is rarely used in powder mixing. Terms such as ‘mixing room’, ‘mixing vessel’ or ‘mixing container’ are more common. The geometric design of a mixing room is of great importance. This is particularly true when handling powdered bulk materials. Compared to liquids, powders usually have limited flow properties.

Therefore, a high equidistance between the mixing tool and the vessel wall is important. This is the only way to ensure mixing without dead space. The geometry of the mixing chamber must match the functionality of the mixing tool.

Depending on the mixing task, recalibration of the roundness may be necessary. This is particularly the case with sticky or sensitive mixing materials. In individual cases, machining processes are used for this purpose. amixon^® has extensive experience in various industries. This ensures high functionality and economical construction. Over-engineering is deliberately avoided.

The term ‘mixing chamber’ can also refer to the ‘free-fall mixer’. In these devices, there is no relative movement between the mixing chamber and the internal components. Here, too, a flow-compliant geometry is crucial. This is the only way to ensure that the bulk material can flow without dead space during free-fall mixing.
