Working Principle
A continuous mixer is a device that mixes and conveys materials continuously, and its working principle is similar to that of a screw conveyor. After the materials enter the mixer from the feed port, the materials are mixed by the continuous rotation of the propeller and the friction between the materials, and are conveyed and discharged during the mixing process. An intermittent mixer is a mixing device that operates intermittently according to the viscosity of the materials. The mixing time and intermittent time can be set manually by the operator. This type of mixer is particularly suitable for mixing viscous and easily adhered materials, such as colloidal materials and clay.
Production Efficiency
Since continuous mixers can produce continuously, they have higher production efficiency. Intermittent mixers need to stop adding new materials before each mixing, so their production efficiency is lower than that of continuous mixers.
Process Complexity
Since continuous mixers require uninterrupted production, more advanced control systems are required to ensure production efficiency and concrete quality. In contrast, the process of intermittent mixers is relatively simple and requires less advanced control systems.
Scope of Application
Continuous mixers are suitable for large-scale and efficient production, while intermittent mixers are suitable for mixing viscous and easily adhered materials.
