A Lab Mixer operates by imparting mechanical energy to the material being mixed, promoting uniform blending of components within a container. The core mechanism involves a motor-driven shaft connected to mixing tools such as paddles, blades, or propellers, which rotate at variable speeds to agitate and combine substances efficiently.
When the motor is switched on, it drives the shaft and attached mixing tool(s), creating fluid motion within the vessel. Depending on the mixer type and attachment:
- Overhead mixers use blades or impellers that generate shear forces and turbulence, breaking down agglomerates and ensuring thorough mixing.
- Planetary mixers rotate the mixing tool around its own axis while simultaneously revolving around the mixing bowl, creating a sweeping and kneading action ideal for viscous and sticky materials.
The speed of rotation and the design of the mixing tool determine the intensity and nature of mixing, allowing the lab mixer to handle a wide range of materials from low-viscosity liquids to high-viscosity pastes.
The process continues until a homogenous mixture is achieved, with no visible segregation or unevenness. Many lab mixers offer adjustable speed controls, enabling users to optimize mixing for specific applications and material characteristics.
