  • DE-PS 32 22 209 and in EP 0 096 746 B1 is a process for continuous production of mixtures and inline doses of two heavy miscible components, preferably of water and a polyacrylamide suspension described in which the components via a dosing point of a closed, supplied with a turbine mixing cell and mixed, which is characterized is that in the mixing cell a gas cushion by feeding is formed by air, with which the mixed goods initially " be kept contactless "and that the intensive mixing in a pipe mixer connected to the mixing cell he follows.
  • the device essentially consists from the fact that by means of an injector the air for the gas cushion is generated and a turbine in the mixing cell is arranged by the pressure difference of the first component is driven, and that the supply line of the second Component arranged at a distance from the surface of the mix is.

  • a Conveying device pump
  • a direct merging and mixing of several Mixing material in the mixer body is not due to the design possible because the static mixer is only from a tube with fixed static mixer inserts. These mixer inserts differ depending on the mixing feed geometric shapes, but they are cannot and cannot be changed during the mixing process thus have no influence on the quality of the solution the mixture. Due to the closed design is also not a visual control of the mixing process possible (trade journal "CHEMIE TECHNIK", 25. Year -1996- No. 1, page 12 + No. 8, page 38).
  • the dynamic mixers are in contrast to do this, as a rule, discontinuously, i.e. in Batch operation, working mixers, which are very expensive in purchase and require considerably more space.
  • the set-up and cleaning work is accordingly associated with a considerable additional effort.
  • System-related moving and rotating parts are required hence an unevenly higher operating cost and Energy consumption than usual with static mixers.
  • dynamic mixers When compared to static mixers dynamic mixers Combine mixed goods in one step and can mix them together at the same time the technical effort required for this is very large. This applies equally if within mixed operation Changes to the device are made can, which have a direct influence on the quality of mixing have, e.g. those entered in the mixing room Mixing energies are changed by variations of the Agitator speeds, drive power etc., or by Limitation of the mixing room volume by level restrictions the batch container etc.
