Mixing Primer      FDM Distromix Overview   Literature  Video back    Fluid Division Mixing (FDM) TECHNOLOGY - High Shear FDM is a rotor-stator mixing technology that can be used in two distinct modes to achieve different mixing effects, depending on the type of material being mixed and the speed of the mixer. High Shear Mode Low Shear Mode Custom-designed for each application Characteristics: Mixer run at high speeds (3000rpm+) Low-medium viscosities (<100000cP) Batch or inline operation possible Delivery pump required for >30000cP (for inline applications) Mixing Principle:  turbulent hydraulic shear Used for: Rapidly dispersing powder in liquids De-agglomerating solids in liquids Wet milling Emulsification General high shear mixing duties Example Applications: Dispersing food gums in water De-agglomerating solids in liquids Reducing particle size in bentonite slurry Wet milling of paint pigments Printer ink presscake dispersions Pre-mixing solutions for IPM machines Characteristics: Mixer run at low speeds (<500rpm) Medium-high viscosities (>50000cP) Inline operation only Delivery pump always required (an extruder can act as the pump) Mixing Principle:  inter-cavity transfer Used for: Gentle blending of shear-sensitive fluids Blending of multiple input streams Post-mixing of plastic melts Post-extruder conditioning of rubbers Replacing static mixers at high viscosity Example Applications: Blending colours into cellulose acetate Improving post-extrusion thermal homogeneity in rubber materials Adding colours to plastic meltstreams Blending of dissimilar rubbers Blending foaming agents into rubber Eliminating post-extrusion "nerve" in rubber materials
