CO-NELE IS A leader In Powder Metallurgy Mixing&Granulation Preparation
1.CR type Intensive Mixer
Function:Efficient mixing is achieved through the reverse movement of the rotor and the container,achieving uniform mixing of powders and additives,and has granulation,heating,vacuum,and cooling functions.
Core features:
High shear force:suitable for difficult-to-mix materials(such as powders with large density differences).
Controlled atmosphere:inert gas(such as N₂)can be passed to prevent oxidation.
Heating/cooling jacket:for temperature-sensitive materials(such as wax-based lubricants).
Wear-resistant design:lined with carbide or ceramic to reduce metal contamination.
Intensive MixerTypical applications:
Mixed metal powders(such as iron-based,copper-based,and carbide powders).
Add lubricant(zinc stearate,paraffin)or binder(PEG,resin).
Prepare feed(such as metal-plastic mixture for MIM process).
2.Mixing granulator(integrated mixing and granulation equipment)
Function:Spray liquid binder(such as water,alcohol,polymer solution)while mixing,form particles through mechanical action,and improve the compressibility and fluidity of powder.
Process advantages:
One-step completion:reduce process transfer and improve efficiency.
Controllable particles:obtain different particle sizes by adjusting the rotation speed and liquid addition rate.
Reduce stratification:avoid component segregation during transportation after mixing.
Key parameters:
Granulation particle size distribution,particle density,porosity.
Binder type and addition amount.
Process requirements:
Mixing uniformity(such as CV value≤5%).
Granulation particle size requirements(such as laser particle size analysis verification).
Intensive MixerCapacity Matching:
Laboratory intensive mixer&granulator(1L-10L,5L-50L)vs.industrial intensive mixer&granulator(100-5000L).
Powder Metallurgy Industry
Intensive mixers and mixing granulators are key pre-treatment equipment used to uniformly mix metal or non-metal powders,add binders or lubricants,and improve the flowability and pressing properties of powders through granulation processes.
