Products are gently mixed with a specially designed spiral agitator. Because the agitator is over-mounted in the vessel cover, no shaft seals come in contact with the product. The agitator has an aerodynamically efficient shape for low friction and improved vertical lifting power. The product is intensively mixed in both radial and tangential directions. Additional turbulences are created in the product area by the top-mounted flow breaker. The speed of the spiral agitator is infinitely adjustable and can thus be flexibly adapted to the product behavior.
The conical shape of the vessel of the conical mixer enables a complete emptying of the product and an easy cleaning of the vessel. Optionally, the vessel cover can be equipped with three self-rotating CIP spray nozzles for precise cleaning without dead spots and shadow zones.
Another unique option for the conical mixer CM is the innovative combined tilting and slewing mechanism. The vessel cover together with the agitator can be electronically tilted 90°, thus enabling a thorough inspection of the product area. Alternatively, this mechanism allows for the entire vessel to be inclined when the cover is closed. The inclination offers important advantages when mixing the entire product, as gravitation additionally affects the products to be mixed. The slewing drive also enables the entire conical mixer to be positioned anywhere between 0° and 45°.
The standard version mixer vessel stands on sturdy pipe feet with a base designed to be ground-mounted. The tilting and slewing mechanism is integrated into a mounting frame. In this option, the vessel comes equipped with rollers which allow it to be moved out of the frame. By request, the Conical Mixer can be outfitted with several identical moveable vessels to serve as exchangeable, storage or reaction vessels.
The expandability of the scope of supply practically has no limits:
- Mounting of mixing vessel on load cells for dosing of components
- Mounting of a lump breaker for reliable disintegration of any agglomerates
- The Conical Mixer can be equipped with a dead spot-free sample valve which enables very representative samples even when the agitator is being operated or the mixing vessel is under vacuum or pressure
- Electric control for operating the agitator and the discharge valve as well as an indication of the process parameters
IKA conical mixers are available in 11 sizes ranging from 10 to 10,000 liters (useful volume).
Advantages of IKA Conical Mixers:
- Gentle mixing of sensitive products with a specially designed spiral agitator
- Better mixing result by slewing of the entire mixing vessel
- Exposed shaft without product-touching bearing
- Integrated flow breaker prevents the medium from rotating with the agitator
- Adjustable stirrer speed can accomadate various product characteristics
- Safe tilting mechanism to open the vessel lid for easy access to the vessel / stirrer
- Low construction height
- Optional – plant can be equipped from one source with several exchangeable vessels and further optional components
- Optional – electric control available
- A spherical segment valve provides the ability to completely empty the vessel
- Complete cleaning of system – integrated optional spray nozzles cover the entire inner surface
- The CM conical mixer is also available as explosion-proof as well as GMP versions
- Admissible operating temperatures from -10 to +150°C
- Optional overhung-mounted lump breaker for disintegration of any agglomerates
- Reliable scale-up
- Various sampling systems; suitable for a wide range of requirements
Typical applications for IKA CM conical mixer:
- Mixing of metal or other powders, crystals, pigments, salts or fine chemicals
- Mixing of powdery pharmaceutical active ingredients and additives
- Production of tea and spice blends
