KNOWING WHAT’S NEXT IN MIXING OF HIGH VISCOSITY MATERIALS Jayesh R. Tekchandaney Director -Technical @ Unique Mixers Founder @ Mixing Expert Author – “Process Plant Equipment - Mixers” @ John Wiley, 2012 Contributor – “Dictionary of Industrial Terms” @ Scrivener-Wiley, 2012 DISCUSSION ◊ Importance of Mixing ◊ Challenges 20-20 ◊ Mixing Mechanisms ◊ What’s Next In High Viscosity Mixing ◊ Mixer Selection, Specification Design Guidelines MIXING ◊ Process of thoroughly combining different materials to produce a homogenous mix ◊ Consistency in chemical composition, color, flavor, reactivity ◊ Mixing is a critical process ◊ Quality of the final product, attributes depend on the mixing performance “Cost of poor mixing is estimated as US$ 100 million / year ” PROFITABILITY !!! ◊ Polymer Product ◊ Product purity – 90%, US$ 45,000/ton ◊ Market demand – 95%, US$ 50,000/ton ◊ Change in mixer operating parameters – 92 to 93 % ◊ Change in mixing agitator design – 95 % ◊ Production capacity ~ 55,000 tons/yr “Mixer is no longer a generic production tool. It is a critical and decisive business tool.” VISCOUS MATERIALS MATERIAL APPROXIMATE VISCOSITY (in centipoise) Water @ 70 F 1 to 5 Honey 10,000 Chocolate Syrup 10,000 to 25,000 Ketchup or French Mustard 50,000 to 70,000 50,000 (2 - 2.5 million cps Plastisol during mixing process) Tomato Paste or Peanut Butter 150
