What is the difference between an emulsifier and a mixer
Emulsifier and mixer are two types of machines mainly used in different industrial production processes. The following will provide a detailed introduction to the differences between emulsifiers and mixers. Function: The emulsifying machine is mainly used to mix two immiscible liquids together and form a uniform and stable emulsion mixture. The emulsification machine generates strong cutting and shear forces on the liquid through the high-speed rotating rotor and stationary stator, thereby dispersing the liquid into small droplets and evenly distributing them in the main liquid.
Mixers are mainly used to mix and stir solids and liquids of the same or different substances. The mixer uses a mechanical stirrer to rotate and stir solids and liquids, making their dispersion more uniform and achieving better mixing results.
Design principle: The design principle of an emulsification machine is to generate shear and impact forces on the liquid through the frictional force between the high-speed rotating cutting device (such as a high-speed blade or rotor) and the stator. These forces disperse the liquid, making the molecular structure smaller and forming an emulsion like mixture.
The design principle of a mixer is to create a forced flow of fluid through the rotation of a mechanical stirrer (such as a stirring paddle), thereby mixing solids and liquids with each other. The shape and rotation speed of the mixer can be adjusted as needed to achieve different types of mixing processes.
