Gyraton Blender

How did the name ‘Gyraton^® mixer’ come about?

The name ‘Gyraton^®’ is a neologism derived from the English term ‘to gyrate’ (to move in a circular or tumbling motion) and the technical term ‘rotational movement’.

The helix mixing tool rotates around its own axis and simultaneously performs a precession movement – it gyrates in a cone-like path around an imaginary axis, similar to the behaviour of a toy spinning top.

In the Gyraton^® mixer, however, the pivot point is not at the bottom, as in a classic spinning top, but above the mixed material. This special design enables unique mixing efficiency.

The lower bottom of the cylindrical mixing chamber is curved downwards – mathematically, it is a hollow sphere section whose centre corresponds exactly to the pivot point.

The lower mixing tool arm is bent along this geometric plane. It describes the movement of a cycloidal path – maintaining the same distance from the bottom surface throughout the entire mixing process.

amixon® offers the option of verifying mixing qualities. Tests can be carried out with customers' mixing materials in the Gyraton® mixing silos.

This ensures that the material to be mixed is completely captured and mixed without any dead spaces.

In what way is the Gyraton mixer a mixing silo?

The special feature of this mixing system is that the mixing process can be carried out at almost any speed without compromising mixing quality. A very small drive motor is sufficient to mix a large batch of powder (dry, moist or wet) perfectly and precisely.

The slower the mixing tool rotates, the longer the mixing process takes. In this sense, the Gyraton mixer works like a mixing silo. Gyraton mixers are available in sizes up to 100 m³. They produce perfect mixing quality.
