GENERAL FEATURES

GENERAL FEATURES
The chemical process industry is subject to a constant evolution of its
products as a result of different factors, amongst which the follo-
wing are most significant:
·The tendency to prepare formulations of pas-
tes, sealants, adhesives, putties, etc., with
the common denominator of high
viscosity resulting from high solids
contents in very small dispersing
carriers and difficult to mix.
·Presence in a highly competitive
market demanding a high level of
finishes, with totally homogenous
and lump-free products.
·The need for highly adjusted
manufacturing costs, due to strong
competition throughout the market.

In order to meet all these demands,

LLEAL SA has developed a com-
plete line of Planetary Mixers PLA-
MIXER, which due to their technical
characteristics and variety of
models, can resolve any manufac- Three single column PLAMIXERS PLD-700,
PLD-200 and laboratory PLD-15
turing requirement. They are spe-
cially designed for mixing high vis-
cosity products due to their high
shearing force and multiple strirring 3664
action.

As a result of the wide range of

possibilities this offers, two models
are available, PL (without central
high speed disperser) or PLD (with
central high speed disperser).

The drive group is indepen-

mixer; and is either mecha-

ding on the model, and
with continuous speed
variation. Due to their high /
low speed multiple agita-
tion action, the Plamixer
PLD type planetary mixers
are the ideal solution to
mixing and homogeniza-
tion of highly viscous
products.

In the cases where the high

shear rates produce harm-
ful heat to the product,
the bowls are equipped
with double cooling / hea-
ting jacket.

In the high capacity versions, which range from 700 to 3000 lts., and due to the large dimensions, the Planetary Mixers PL (without cowles disc) or PLD (with cowles
disc) are mounted on a heavy duty construction with two supporting columns, and produce homogeneous mixures in the manufacture of high viscosity products.

GENERAL
FEATURES
1 AGITATION
The planetary mixer PLAMI-
XER in vertical execution is
designed to operate with
exchangeable cylindrical pro-
duction bowls and features a
multiple stirring system made
up of a planetary mechanism.

This mechanism is made up

of a gear box with rotating
2 movement, driven by a reduc-
tion speed gear unit.

On one side it is equipped

with a scraping blade which
moves around the internal
perimeter of the bowl in order
to keep the walls clean of
incrustations, and which pu-
shes the materials towards the
centre of the bowl.
3
The planetary box is equipped
with two or three groups of
mixing blades (depending on
the model) which rotate
around each other, whilst they 5
are moved in a circular move-
ment by the planetary box.

The combination of all these

elements results in an opti-
mum kneading of all the
4 product.

The mixing assembly is insta-

lled in a mobile head, with a
hydraulic lifting and lowering
system in order to allow
exchange of the bowl.
