The Role of High-speed Mixer in PVC Production

In the whole production process of PVC profiles, pipes and plates, many people will pay attention to the extrusion host, but it is easy to ignore the front-end mixing process. The uniformity and temperature control of mixture directly affect the subsequent extrusion molding, the appearance of products and the physical properties of finished products. As the core equipment of PVC batching section, high-speed mixing machine undertakes the key work of material premixing and heating activation. Beisu Machinery has been exposed to many field cases, and many production failures are traced back to the root causes, which are often caused by unreasonable parameter settings in high-speed mixing. The practical function of high-speed mixer in PVC production is discussed based on the first-line practical experience.

The core function of high-speed mixer in PVC production

1.A variety of raw materials are fully and evenly blended

PVC formulation system has complex components, including PVC resin powder, stabilizer, lubricant, plasticizer, toner, filler and other materials. The particle size and density of different raw materials are quite different. The high-speed mixer relies on the high-speed shearing and stirring of blades to make all kinds of powder materials fully collide and disperse, and avoid the accumulation of local additives. If the mixing is not sufficient, there will be problems such as color difference, local precipitation and fluctuation of mechanical properties in the later extrusion.

2.Friction heating completes the activation of additives

High-speed stirring generates friction heat, which raises the material temperature to the process setting range and urges the heat stabilizer and internal and external lubricants to fully coat the resin particles. The activation effect of this step directly determines the plasticizing state of the material in the extruder. Failure to control the temperature, premature precipitation of lubricant or insufficient activation will bring trouble to the subsequent extrusion. Beisu Machinery often reminds customers to pay attention to the discharge temperature of the mixture during the equipment debugging service, which is a control point that is easily overlooked.

3.Break up the caking and improve the processing fluidity of materials

Some fillers and toner are easy to absorb moisture during storage. High-speed stirring can break the caked materials and reduce the impurities in the granules. The mixture after high-speed mixing treatment has better looseness and smooth blanking, which can effectively reduce the risk of material blockage in extruder feeding and ensure the continuous and stable operation of production line.

The key points for attention in the actual production and use of high-speed mixer

1.feeding sequence should match PVC formula

Conventional PVC processing, the feeding order can not be reversed at will. Generally, PVC resin powder is added first, then stabilizer is added after heating, and then filler, lubricant and toner are added in turn. Wrong feeding sequence will lead to abnormal coating of additives, which will directly reduce the mixing quality.

2.Control the stirring speed and discharging temperature

Different formulations of PVC products have different corresponding rotational speeds and discharge temperatures. The discharge temperature of hard PVC products is mostly controlled in the range of 110130℃. Materials with too high temperature are easy to pre-plasticize and agglomerate; When the temperature is low, the activation of the auxiliary agent is incomplete, and the product will have surface defects.

3.Do a good job in daily maintenance of equipment

Abrasion of blades and hanging materials in the kettle will reduce the mixing effect. Cleaning the pot body in time during the production gap and checking the blade gap regularly are the basic work to maintain the stable quality of the mixture.

FAQ

1. Q: What are the defects of finished products caused by uneven mixing of PVC?

A: It is prone to problems such as color difference, surface pitting and unstable product strength.

2. Q: Is the higher the discharge temperature of the high-speed mixer, the better the mixing effect?

A: No, if the temperature is too high, the material will be pre-molded in advance, so it is necessary to strictly match the formula and set the process value.

3. Q: Do I need to adjust the parameters of the high-speed mixer to change the PVC formula?

A: Yes, after the filler and lubricant are changed, the rotating speed and discharging temperature should be fine-tuned.

4. Q: Does the blade wear of high-speed mixer have a great influence on PVC production?

A: Blade wear will weaken the shearing and stirring ability and directly reduce the mixing uniformity of materials.

5. Q: Can Beisu Machinery high-speed mixer adapt to the full range of hard PVC formulations?

A: The model can be configured and adapted according to different formulas of PVC pipes, profiles and plates.
