Pharmaceutical Applications & The Working Principle of Planetary Mixers
A planetary mixer is a multifunctional piece of equipment with attachments that rotate in a planetary motion to perform tasks like mixing and whipping. The mixing blades spin around the vessel's axis and travel in the opposite direction to sweep the whole circle. A planetary mixer is a standing or vertical mixer in which the attachment (agitator) is rotated around a central axis. The term "planetary mixer" comes from the fact that this rotation is comparable to a planet's orbit around the sun. This mixer is said to be perfect for mixing aggressive pastes in the pharmaceutical industry under both atmospheric and vacuum settings since it delivers intensive mixing with uniformity. The primary component of this mixer is the mixer bowl, which is highly detachable from the rest of the apparatus ...
