  • the pressure drop can also be influenced by an appropriate choice of the length of the mixing element 1 in the axial direction A or by an appropriate choice of the shape of the guide elements 1 b or a corresponding width ⁇ of the guide elements 1 b.
  • the mixing elements 1 can be made of a wide variety of materials, such as metal or plastic. They can be produced or assembled by means of suitable casting processes, of solid material by means of chip removal processes, by means of electro-erosion or laser cutting processes, by reshaping or by assembly from individual shaped parts which are produced by welding, soldering, gluing, gearing or other suitable joining processes. Due to the modular design of the mixers of individual mixing elements, these can be easily disassembled if necessary, eg for cleaning or for inspection.
  • the mixer according to the invention allows a static or, in the case of the use of movable, rotatable parts, a dynamic mixing.
  • static mixing the mixing process is carried out by continuously dividing the fluid stream into substreams which are rearranged and reassembled. The rearrangement can take place, essentially, radially to the axis A or in the circumferential direction to the axis A.
  • a distributive mixing process There are limits to this mixing process, for example in the case of dispersing tasks, in which the necessary energy input increases sharply when fine dispersions are to be produced.
  • it is more advantageous to use a mixing method use which is based on the principle of stretching a fluid flow, which allows a much better mixing with less energy.
  • the example in the FIGS. 7 and 8th described dynamic mixer combines the two mixing principles splitting (and stretching in an ideal way.
  • the flowing substance is distributed with a static mixing element with respect to the longitudinal axis A both in the radial direction and in the circumferential direction, and the flowing substance with a dynamic mixing element 2, which is rotated about the longitudinal axis A, stretched in the circumferential direction.
  • the dynamic mixing element will distribute the flowing substance with respect to the longitudinal axis (A) at least in one of the two directions: radial direction and circumferential direction.
