Polymer Additive Mixer
Polymer additive mixers are used for mixing of plastic products like HPDE (high-density-polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) rep. olefins in general.
In most cases the polymer additive mixer is located upstream to the extruder which takes the mixture of the raw-product and several additives and produces pellets. Our partner produces polymer additive mixers with oversized inner surfaces and sophisticated engineered mixing-tool-geometries to ensure a high and reliable, process-safe mixing quality. Unwanted heating-up of the product is avoided and gentle handling of the bulk-solid achieved with using our polymer additive mixers.
To ensure protection against explosions – even in our standard version – it is possible to use nitrogen purging in polymer additive mixer package to safeguard the product chamber and the shaft passages against the ingression of oxygen and to generate an inert atmosphere.
For our polymer additive mixer in the area of the material outlet, we offer an additional bag filter with automatic, differential-pressure-controlled cleaning in order to avoid any overpressure in the product space due to upstream or downstream components as well as nitrogen loading. Our multimode twin polymer additive mixer fully redesigned, improved mixer is capable of either mixing polymers in “natural” mode, which doesn’t utilize carbon black or change to “black” mode which adds carbon black.

Polymer Additive Mixer
The Polymer Additive Mixer is a specific type of mixer commonly used in the polymer industry for blending and dispersing additives into polymer materials. It is equipped with paddle-shaped mixing elements that rotate within a mixing chamber, providing efficient and uniform blending of additives with the polymer matrix.
The design of the Polymer Additive Mixer consists of a horizontal cylindrical vessel with a shaft running through it. The paddles are attached to the shaft, and their arrangement and orientation can vary based on the specific mixer design. As the shaft rotates, the paddles sweep through the material, ensuring thorough mixing and dispersion of the additives.
The Polymer Additive Mixer offers several advantages in the polymer industry. Firstly, the paddle design allows for gentle yet effective mixing, ensuring that additives are evenly distributed without causing excessive shear or damage to the polymer matrix. This is particularly important for sensitive additives that can be affected by harsh mixing conditions.
The mixer’s paddle configuration promotes efficient material movement and turnover, minimizing dead zones and ensuring complete blending of additives. The paddles create a cascading effect, lifting and folding the polymer material to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
Another advantage of the Polymer Additive Mixer is its versatility in handling different types of additives and polymer materials. It can accommodate a wide range of densities, and particle sizes, making it suitable for various polymer processing applications.
The Polymer Additive Mixer is also known for its ease of operation and maintenance. It typically features a straightforward design with easy access for cleaning and inspection.
All instruments required are housed in a user-friendly, protective and visually appealing stainless-steel control cabinet.
Multimode Twin Polymer Additive Mixer
Pellets are produced in “natural” or “black” grade, one mixing & extrusion line can only produce one grade. There is no ability to change the grade without significant effort.
Our Multimode-Twin-Polymer Additive Mixer fully redesigned, improved mixer is capable of either mixing polymers in “natural” mode, which doesn’t utilize carbon black or change to “black” mode which adds carbon black.
