Gyraton® mixer type GM

Gyraton® bulk solids silo mixer

The Gyraton^® mixing tool can rotate at any speed.It requires only a very low electrical power input. It mixes precisely, effectively and very gently: dry, moist or wet bulk materials. Ideal mixing quality at mixing ratios of 1:100,000. Gyraton^® test mixers for 3000 litre batches are available. amixon^® will inspire you!

Gyraton® mixers are also particularly cost-effective, as they require only a small amount of space. The properties of the materials to be mixed are irrelevant. Even moist or poorly flowing (time-consolidating) materials are homogenised.

The function is similar to that of all other amixon^® mixers. However, the specific energy input is lower with the Gyraton^® mixer. The mixing spiral rotates slowly and conveys the material upwards. It only ever touches part of the mixing chamber wall. In addition to rotating, the mixing tool shaft moves in a circular path above the mixing chamber floor. The shaft's pivot point lies in the plane of the gas-tight shaft seal. The mixing tool is in contact with the entire cylinder surface. This also applies to the bottom. The bottom is shaped like a dome, which means that the mixing process is free of dead space. The lower mixing arm has the same curvature as the dome shell.

The mixing shaft is only supported and driven at the top. The shaft feed-through is designed to be permanently hygienic and gas-tight. The machine shown here can homogenise 70 m³ of mixture. That is the capacity of a 40-foot high-sea container.

The Gyraton^® mixer has a dead-space-free discharge valve in the centre of the bottom. Complete discharge is by means of the ComDisc®.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Gyraton^® Mixer

1. amixon^® already has a wide range of products for various vertical mixers. What prompted amixon^® to develop another powder mixer?
    
2. We know that the spirals of the amixon^® mixers turn slowly. What prompted amixon^® to bring a mixing system to market in which the mixing spirals turn even more slowly?
    
3. An amixon^® vertical single-shaft mixer also achieves excellent mixing quality. Can't a mixer like that be used as a large-scale mixer?
    
4. What would happen if the speed were reduced to 1 or 2 revolutions per minute? Could this not be compensated for by doubling or tripling the mixing time?
    
5. How are the areas of application for Gyraton^® mixers defined?
    
6. What options are there for testing the Gyraton^® mixer?
