What is the function of the agitator?

Abstract: At present, the stirrers on the market have various shapes and complex functions, which are often dazzling when purchasing. In order to give you a reference when choosing a stirrer, this paper introduces nine types of stirrers commonly used in the market, such as propeller agitator, turbine agitator, paddle agitator, anchor agitator, ribbon agitator and magnetic heating agitator, and their respective characteristics. First, the main types:

1, paddle agitator

It consists of 2 ~ 3 propeller blades, with high working speed, and the peripheral speed of the blades is generally 5 ~ 15m/s ... The propeller agitator mainly causes axial liquid flow, resulting in large circulation, and is suitable for mixing low-viscosity (< 2pa·s) liquids and emulsions and suspensions with solid particle content below 10%. The rotating shaft of the agitator can also be inserted into the tank horizontally or obliquely. At this time, the circulation loop of liquid flow is asymmetric, which can increase turbulence and prevent the liquid level from sinking.

2. Turbine agitator

It consists of 2 ~ 4 flat or curved blades mounted on a horizontal disk. The ratio of the outer diameter, width and height of the blade is generally 20:5:4, and the peripheral speed is generally 3 ~ 8m/s. When the turbine rotates, it causes highly turbulent radial flow, which is suitable for the dispersion of gas and immiscible liquid and the liquid-liquid reaction process. The viscosity of the stirring liquid is generally not more than 25 Pa s.

3. Blade agitator

There are two kinds of flat oars and inclined oars. The flat paddle agitator consists of two flat blades. The ratio of blade diameter to height is 4 ~ 10, and the circumferential speed is 1.5 ~ 3m/s, so the two blades with smaller radial liquid flow speed rotate 45 or 60 in the opposite direction, thus generating axial liquid flow. Paddle agitator has a simple structure and is often used to mix low viscosity liquids, dissolve and suspend solid particles.

4. Anchor agitator

The shape of the outer edge of the blade should be consistent with the inner wall of the stirring tank, and there is only a small gap between them, so as to remove the viscous reaction products attached to the tank wall or the solid objects piled up at the bottom of the tank and maintain good heat transfer effect. The peripheral speed of the outer edge of the blade is 0.5 ~ 1.5m/s, which can be used to stir Newtonian fluid and quasi-plastic fluid with viscosity as high as 200 pa·s (see viscous fluid flow. Only when the high viscosity liquid is stirred, a large stagnation zone will appear in the liquid layer.

5. Belt agitator

The outer diameter of the spiral belt is equal to the pitch, and it is specially used to stir high-viscosity liquid (200 ~ 500 Pa·s) and quasi-plastic fluid, usually operating in laminar flow.

6. Magnetic stirrer

Corning digital heater has a closed-circuit knob to monitor and adjust the stirring speed. The microprocessor automatically adjusts the power of the motor to adapt to water quality, viscous solution and semi-solid solution.

7, magnetic heating mixer

Corning digital heating mixer has optional external temperature controller (Cat. No.6795PR), and they can also monitor and control the temperature in the container.

8. Folding agitator

Choosing a suitable agitator according to the physical properties, capacities and stirring purposes of different media can play a great role in promoting the chemical reaction speed and improving the production efficiency. Hinged turbine agitator is generally suitable for gas-liquid mixing reaction, and the number of revolutions of agitator should be above 300 rpm.

9. Frequency conversion double-layer agitator

The base, pillar and motor of frequency conversion agitator are fixed into a whole by patented technology. Patent chuck, not loose, not swinging, not falling off, safe and reliable. Chrome-plated pillar, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, strong rigidity and reasonable structure. It has the advantages of convenient movement and light weight. Suitable for all kinds of small containers.

Second, what is the function of the food blender?

1. The food mixer has two speeds, high/low, which can play a seamless and handy role in both the stirring function and the grinding function.

2. Chopper combination, easily chop meat, vegetables, nuts, coffee beans, and make all kinds of delicious food happily.

3. Powerful functional accessories, including egg beater, dough hook, agitator, integrating multiple functions.
