Conical Twin Screw Mixer

Conical Twin Screw Mixer

The conical twin screw mixer, also called a vertical cone mixer, is an efficient material mixing equipment. It has excellent mixing performance and can effectively handle a variety of materials. It is particularly suitable for mixing powders with powders, particles with powders, and powders with a small amount of liquid. It is widely used in chemical, dye, pigment, pesticide, veterinary drugs, medicine, plastic, and additive industries. According to different process requirements, the equipment can be customized according to different requirements, such as heating, cooling, positive pressure, vacuum, and other functions.

Conical Twin Screw Mixer working Principle

Through the rotation of the two asymmetric spirals, the cone hybrid machine continuously improves the material and matches the slow rotation of the turning arm to form complex material movements. The material on the outer side of the spiral enters the thread through different paths, so that the material continues to be updated and diffused in the direction of the full circle. The material that is raised to the top and then gathered to the center of the center to form a downward -flowing material flow, which effectively fills the gap at the bottom, and finally achieves triple hybrid effects, including the distribution of flow, circulation and material.

Conical Screw Mixer Structures

  • The main components of the double-helix conical mixer are composed of key components such as the drive unit system, two inclined screws, rotating arms, barrels, and discharge valves.
  • Drive unit system: provides power to drive the screw to rotate.
  • Two inclined screws: Through different motion modes, the materials are constantly turned and moved during the mixing process to achieve uniform mixing.
  • Rotating arms, center rods and spirals: The spiral is composed of a screw and spiral blades, and it is the direct working part of the mixed material. Barrel: As a material container, it allows the material to be efficiently mixed in a closed environment.
  • Discharge valve: After the mixing is completed, the materials are discharged efficiently, and are often equipped with an adjustment device to ensure smooth discharge.

Application

Applied in food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, pesticides, dyes, plastics, minerals, metallurgy, building materials, cosmetics, pigments, coatings, environmental recycling and other industries. Suitable for mixing, reacting, drying and cooling powders (solid-liquid) and powders (solid-liquid). Such as spices, wet powder, coating, granulation, etc.


Features

  • Efficient and fast mixing: Compared with a single-screw mixer, the mixing time is shorter and the efficiency is increased by 2 to 3 times.
  • Large mixing capacity: large mixing capacity, high precision, low energy consumption, and the loading coefficient is increased by 25% to 40% compared with a V-type mixer.
  • The bottom discharge is fast: the bottom discharge is clean and fast, and the bottom can be tightly closed to avoid leakage.
  • Small mixing dead angle: The optimized design minimizes the mixing dead angle of the material and improves the mixing uniformity.
  • Easy to clean and replace materials: The equipment is easy to clean and convenient to switch between different mixed materials.
  • Reduce maintenance work: The bottom bearing does not require frequent maintenance, reducing equipment maintenance costs.
  • Adapt to the batch requirements of large production lines: such as premixed powder production lines, pharmaceutical production lines, etc.

FAQs

The equipment achieves high-homogeneity blending through a dual-motion kinematics system. Two asymmetric internal screws rotate on their own axes (self-rotation) to lift the material upward, while simultaneously traveling along the conical vessel wall (revolution) around the central axis. This composite movement ensures continuous material displacement and radial dispersion. The material lifted to the top then converges toward the center and flows downward by gravity, creating a highly efficient triple-action convective circulation.

Yes, they are fully adjustable. To provide maximum process flexibility, the revolution and self-rotation mechanisms can be controlled independently. The system can be configured with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), allowing operators to adjust both the revolution and rotation speeds to match the fluid dynamics, density, and specific handling requirements of different batches.

This equipment is a high-precision, next-generation powder blender widely utilized in the pharmaceutical, chemical, animal feed, food processing, and advanced materials industries. It is specifically designed for powder-to-powder and powder-to-granule blending, and is particularly effective for high-precision formulations where material proportions vary significantly or maximum homogeneity is mandatory.

The twin screw conical mixer offers significant energy-saving advantages. The total installed motor power is only 1/3 of that required by a horizontal mixer of identical specifications. In industrial production lines, this mechanical configuration reduces operational electricity costs by approximately 70%, making it an optimal choice for factories seeking energy efficiency upgrades.

To accommodate variations in material density, particle size distribution, and flowability, the mixer can be configured with three different types of heavy-duty, high-efficiency revolution and rotation drive components. Our technical engineers match the optimal component assembly based on the specific physical properties of your materials, ensuring long-term mechanical stability and consistent mixing performance.

The asymmetric design eliminates dead zones during the mixing cycle. By utilizing two screws of unequal lengths operating at different radii within the conical vessel, the mechanism guarantees that all materials within the full circumferential area enter the screw channels for lifting and diffusion. This significantly shortens the cycle time required to achieve total uniformity, delivering high-degree homogeneity even during brief mixing intervals.
