Horizontal mixer is a kind of efficient mixing equipment, widely used in many industrial fields ?.

The horizontal mixer is usually composed of a U-shaped container, a spiral belt mixing blade and a transmission component. The U-shaped long cylinder structure ensures the small resistance movement of the mixed material (powder, semi-fluid) in the cylinder body. The positive and negative rotating screws are installed on the same horizontal axis, creating a low power and high efficiency hybrid environment. The outer spiral collects the material from both sides to the center, and the inner spiral transmits the material from the center to both sides. This design can make the material form more eddy currents in the flow, thus speeding up the mixing speed and improving the mixing uniformity ?1.

The working principle of the horizontal mixer mainly depends on the rotation of the agitator. The motor and reducer drive the agitator to rotate, and the speed of the agitator matches the volume of the cylinder to ensure that the material is evenly mixed. In the mixing process, the material is pushed by the agitator to circulate, this movement not only improves the mixing efficiency, but also prevents the settling and delamination of the material ?2.

The characteristics of horizontal mixer include efficient mixing, wide application range, easy operation, easy maintenance and energy saving and environmental protection. The mixing efficiency is high, and the material can be evenly mixed in a short time. Wide range of application, not only can mix powder materials, but also can handle particles and viscous materials; The equipment design is humanized, the operation interface is friendly, and the operation difficulty is reduced. Simple structure, easy to clean and maintain; It can effectively reduce energy consumption and noise during operation ?3.

In addition, the horizontal mixer also has a variety of specifications to choose from to meet the mixing needs of different materials. The agitator can be designed into a variety of specifications such as spiral belt type, plow knife type, two-axis paddle type, and the filling coefficient is generally 60%, that is, the equipment input material amount is 60% of its volume, the mixing effect is the best ?2.

In general, horizontal mixers play an important role in the field of industrial mixing due to their high efficiency, wide applicability, easy operation and easy maintenance.
