MIXING DEVICE AND METHOD OF MIXING FLUIDS

Принадлежит:

The present invention is a method of mixing various viscous fluids. The mixing device is comprised of a shroud with helical blades inside connected to the central shaft and the shroud in spiral direction. By rotating the device in the fluid or paint, helical blades create a vortex like movement of the fluid and thus create suction of the fluid through the shroud, mixing viscous fluid at a greater rate. Field test showed that the devise is very effective in mixing viscous fluids by braking solids in the paint/fluids and lifting the settlements from the bottom of a container due to the radial and axial movement of the fluid. Device was found very easy to use due to the fact that the kickback of the mixer was minimized. It also showed that the splatter of paint was almost eliminated in the open container. 11. Reduction in RPM, splatter and oxidation of the fluids.2. Decreasing the kick-back of the mixer during the process of mixing.3. Creating radial and axial mixing simultaneously, thus mixing solids and resins in fluids at a greater rate.. The improvements of the said device are—faster, thorough and at a greater rate of mixing fluids. Due to the design of the helical blades placed inside the shroud, the mixer can mix the fluids in two combined methods of mixing, radial and axial, simultaneously. The design and placement of the shroud over the blades creates a jet like mixing effect and serves as elimination of kick-back of the mixer during the mixing process.
