Patented Mixing Devices for the Polymer
and Food Processing Industries
Customizing Mixing Sections
to Solve Your Mixing Requirements
These devices were designed to create efficient
dispersive and distributive mixing by producing elongational-type flows.
This was achieved using analytical, numerical, experimental techniques
and "in-process" experience. There is great deal of engineering into each
one of these devices to assure an optimal level of mixing. One of the unique
attributes of these devices is that they can be modified for specific processing
conditions, material properties, and level of mixing desired. With these
devices your product homogeneity is improved to increase final quality,
performance and aesthetics.

Mixing
Breaker Plate (MBP)
The MBP design is a novel, quick and cost effective way of enhancing
mixing in your extruder. It substitutes the standard breaker plate found
at the end of the extruder. The design of the MBP can be modified to give
stronger dispersive or distributive mixing depending on the material being
processed and the processing conditions. The MBP can be made with parallel,
circular or radial slots. If you are looking to add additional mixing to
your process, the MBP is the easiest method. |

CRD mixer
The CRD mixer is a revolutionary new design unique in its ability to
provide dispersive and distributive mixing with low pressure loss or even
pressure gains. The CRD generates elongational flows, which provides the
most efficient mixing. Several different CRD geometries exist depending
on the level of dispersive or distributive mixing that is needed. This
device has been well received since its introduction one year ago with
well over 50 now being used for various processes. |

CRD Barrier Screw
The CRD barrier screw combines the advantages of conventional barrier
screws with the outstanding mixing characteristics of the CRD mixer.
The barrier flight in the CRD barrier screw is designed to create elongational
flow as the plastic melt is forced over the barrier flight. This
results in better dispersive mixing, reduced viscous dissipation, and lower
melt temperatures. |

Elongational Pin Mixer (EPM)
The EPM mixer comes as a stand alone ring or can be added to other
mixing devices to provide excellent distributive and dispersive mixing.
Similar to the other devices listed here, elongational flows are generated
to provide for optimal mixing conditions. |

Dispersive/Distributive
Static Mixer (DDSM)
The DDSM static mixer is revolutionary in its ability to provide efficient
and effective dispersive mixing while also providing distributive mixing.
The DDSM generates continual elongational flows which are rarely seen in
other static mixers. Similar to the Mixing Breaker Plate, the number and
shape of mixing wedges, contraction and gap size can be modified for your
specific process, material and mixing needs. The DDSM has a unique modular
design for easy assembly, dis-assembly and cleaning. Click here

Non-Return Valve with Distributive
and Dispersive Mixing Capability (CRD-NRV)
A convenient method to improve the mixing capability of the plasticating
unit of an IMM is to design the non-return valve (NRV) such that it has
mixing capability. Such a dual-purpose NRV allows an increase in
mixing capability without affecting the melting and conveying capability
of the plasticating unit. This paper will describe a NRV mixer based
on the CRD mixing technology developed for single screw extruders. |
