The butterfly mixer is used for deagglomeration and wetting of solids in a liquid base for products in the medium viscous range, for example, for plasters, adhesives, sealants and insulating materials.
Properties
The design is very similar to the laboratory dissolver, but it is much more robust with regard to the higher mixing forces during operation. The laboratory and pilot plant-butterfly mixers are particularly suited for analyzing and optimizing the mixing process. The derived process knowledge can be used to scale up the machine to the desired production size.
Laboratory Butterfly Mixer, Type BFM 30 L, with 3,0 kW drive power and a mixing shaft speed between 300 – 4.000 1/min.
Pilot Plant Butterfly Mixer, Type BFB 30 T, with 3,0 up to 7,5 kW drive power and a mixing shaft speed between 200 – 2.300 1/min.
