Reactor

Application:

Suitable for liquid adhesives, resins, emulsions and other systems, such as:

• PVAc white latex, PVA glue
• acrylic resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin
• water-based pressure sensitive adhesive (BOPP), nail free glue

Main function:

• Heating, cooling and heat preservation for reactions.
• Material mixing, dispersion and polymerization.
• Can be equipped with condensation reflux, vacuum dehydration, and automatic metering systems.

Advantages:

• Precise temperature control, suitable for reactive adhesives.
• High degree of automation, enabling continuous production.

Limitations:

• Not suitable for high-viscosity, paste-like or high-solids colloidal materials.

Sigma Mixer

Applications:

Suitable for producing high-viscosity, high-solids, paste- or block-like hot melt glue, such as:

• hot melt glue
• butyl glue
• rubber-based adhesives, silicone rubber

Working principle:

Double ∑-shaped blades vigorously knead and shear the materials within a closed chamber, achieving a uniform blend of solids and liquids.

Advantages:

• Strong mixing power for high-viscosity materials.
• Optional vacuum, heating and cooling systems.
• Flexible discharge methods (hydraulic dump, screw discharge, etc.)

Limitations:

• Not suitable for low-viscosity or free-flowing materials.
• Mixing uniformity is affected by material flowability.

Triple Shaft Mixer

Applications:

Suitable for medium-to-high viscosity liquid adhesives and filler systems, such as:

• epoxy adhesive, silicone sealant
• acrylic adhesive, electronic potting compounds
• highly filler sealant, thermally conductive adhesive

Structural features:

• "山"-shaped blade provide low-speed mixing and circulation.
• Dispersing discs and butterfly blades for shearing and dispersing fillers.
• Optional vacuum system for deaeration.

Advantages:

• Combines shearing, stirring and dispersing functions.
• Suitable for the production of colloids with large viscosity variations.
• Uniform mixing and fine dispersion.

Limitations:

• Complex structure and slightly higher maintenance costs.
• Not as effective as sigma mixer for extrumely high viscosity materials (>1,000,000cps).

Double Planetary Mixer

Applications:

Widely used in the production of high-viscosity, medium-to-high-solids adhesive and sealant, such as:

• silicone sealant
• PU glue, MS glue, photovoltaic adhesive
• viscous slurry

Working principle:

Double planetary blades orbit and rotate synchronously, ensuring seamless material circulation within the cylinder. Can be equipped with dispersing disc.

Advantages:

• Highly uniform mixing, zero dead zones.
• Capable of handling extremely high-viscosity materials (>2.000.000cps).
• Optional vacuum, heating and cooling systems.
• High degree of automation, easy cleaning and maintenance.

Limitations:

• Higher cost.
• May over-mix low-viscosity colloids.

If you're producing liquid reactive adhesives (such as PVA or acrylic), choose reactor.

If you're producing high-viscosity hot melt adhesives or sealants, choose sigma mixer or double planetary mixer.

If you're looking for both dispersing and mixing, choose triple shaft mixer.
