Two wing non-intermeshing rotors for increased performance for usein internal batch mixing machines

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Non-intermeshing two-wing rotors for use in high intensity mixing machines of the batch type provide new sequences and new characteristics of dynamic interactions for achieving advantageously increased mixing effectiveness, improved performance and productivity for such machines. These new rotors are adapted for driving at unequal speed (unsynchronized rotation) or at equal speed (synchronized rotation) and, thus they are adapted for retrofitting into existing mixing machines. The optimum results are achieved by turning the two rotors at synchronous speed with a phase angle relationship of about 180° between rotors as shown by various well-known performance criteria. These criteria are …
