Development of New Element for Mixing of High and Low Viscous Fluids

Abstract

The Dynamix Mixer (WONDER MIX, Nippon Sosey Kogyo Co., Ltd.) has been used in the mixing of two-component curable resins such as two-part mixed adhesives and sealants. Focusing on a performance improvement of the WONDER MIX, several types of elements were newly developed to evaluate mixing performance. As a result thereof, an element structure has been found in which inverse T-shaped unit structures are arranged so as to alternately interlace. This novel element enables mixing at lower rotational speed and with shorter element length compared to existing elements.
