Planetary Mixers

Planetary mixers are used for homogeneous and uniform mixing of various types of materials of different viscosity, density, shapes and proportions. They can be used for mixing hot melts, ointments, pastes, etc. They consist of beater and emulsifier, which help them to achieve it.

In Filter Manufacturing Industry
Planetary mixers are used in various applications in different types of industries. They are considered an important machinery in the filter manufacturing industry. They are used for easy and efficient blending and formulating of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound during the manufacturing of filter bonding adhesives like thermosetting adhesives and plastisols.

Applications
They are used for a lot of other applications in several industries, such as:

• Pharmaceutical Industry- For mixing of ointments, pharmaceutical creams, etc.
• Cosmetics Industry- Mixing of cosmetic creams and other ointments.
• Ceramics Industry- In mixing of ceramics.
• Glass Manufacturing Industry
• Pollution Control Industries
• Chemical Industry
