1. Mixing equipment
The efficiency and homogeneity of the mixing process significantly impact
the quality of the final product. Several types of equipment are employed
in industrial to achieve optimal mixing of solid particles. Here's an
overview of some commonly used industrial solid particles mixing
equipment:
For paste and heavy material
Pony mixer
Beater mixer
Kneader mixer
For granular solids
Tumbling mixer
Ribbon mixer
Vertical screw mixer
Paddle mixer
2. Mixers for paste and heavy material
Change can mixers:
Theses devices blend viscous liquids
or light pastes, as in food processing
or paint manufactures. A small
removable can 5-100 gal size holds
the material to be mixed.
3. Mixers for free-flowing solids (granular solids)
(a) (b)
Ribbon mixer: it has its unique twisted blades shaped like the inner
blade bar, are set up within static shell by rotating blades.
- Main mechanism is convective mixing
- Accompanied with diffuse and shear mixing
Tumbling mixer: Closed vessel rotating about its axis (cube, cone, or V shape).
- Main mechanism is diffuse mixing
- Problem segregation in free-flowing powders (to minimize use baffles)
4. Mixers for free-flowing solids (granular solids)
Vertical screw mixer
Paddle mixer
Paddle mixer: it I known as paddle blender, it has efficient and gentle
mixing action making it suitable for fragile or heat-sensitive material..
- Main mechanism is convective mixing with rotational motion.
Vertical screw mixer: it has its uniform mixing of materials through the
rotation and pushing screw. It has difficulty in handling sticky or
cohesive materials.
- Main mechanism is convective mixing
- Accompanied with diffuse and shear mixing
5. SIZE REDUCTION
What is the meaning of size reduction?
Size refers to physical dimension of an object.
Reduction refers to decrement or the process of
decreasing the size.
10. Type of IMPACT
Gravity impact
In gravity impact ,the free falling material is momentarily stopped by
the stationary object.
Example coal dropped onto a hard steel surface.
Dynamic impact
Most often used when it is necessary to separate two materials which
have relatively different friability.
Example material dropping in front of a moving hammer.
13. Energy for size reduction
It was shown that the energy (dE) required to effect a small change in
the size of unit mass of material (dL) is a simple power function of
size.
Where; P is a constant
C is a coefficient
Three empirical laws have been proposed to solve the above
14. Energy for size reduction
1. Rittingers law (1867): In this law, P is put equal to (-2) Energy for size reduction
Put
Where is Rittingers constant ( )
is the crushing strength of the material ( )
The interpretation of this law is that the energy required for size reduction is
directly proportional to the increase in surface.

15. Energy for size reduction
2. Kicks law (1885): In this law, P is put equal to (-1)
Put
Where is Kicks constant ( )
is the crushing strength of the material ( )
The energy required to crush a given amount is directly related to the reduction
ratio

16. Energy for size reduction
Neither of these two laws give an accurate calculation of the energy
requirements.
Rittingers law is applicable mainly to that part of the process where
the increase in surface per unit mass of material is large, i.e. used for
fine grinding.
Kicks law, however, is more accurate than Rittingers law for coarse
crushing where the amount of surface produced is considerably less.
17. Energy for size reduction
3. Bonds law (1952): Bond has suggested a law intermediate between Rittingers and
Kicks laws, by putting P = 3/2. After integration we get:
Where : the work index which represents the amount of energy required to reduce unit mass
of material from an particle size 叶 to a size 叶 of 100 亮m.
The size of material is taken as the size of the square hole through which 80 % of the
material will pass.
20. What is the power required to crush 100 ton/h of limestone if 80 percent of the feed
passes a 2-in screen and 80 percent of the product a 1/8-in screen?
Solution:
Form pervious Table, the work index for limestone is 12.74 (KW.h/ton)
The power required to crush is
