CK REACTOR

CK reactor is a jacketed twin cone reactor specifically engineered to handle high-viscosity materials, . Its unique dual helical-conical blades ensure efficient mixing in a low-speed, medium shear environment.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

1. Dual Helical-Conical Blades:

- The mixer features two intermeshing helical-conical blades that rotate within a jacketed conical vessel.

- The blades rotate around their own axis while simultaneously orbiting the central axis of the mixer, creating a planetary motion.

- This dual motion ensures that the material is continuously folded, stretched, and kneaded, promoting homogeneous mixing.

2. Low-Speed, Medium-Shear Mixing:

- The mixer operates at low speeds, making it ideal for high-viscosity materials that require gentle yet thorough mixing.

- The medium-shear action helps break down agglomerates and ensures uniform distribution of components without damaging sensitive materials.

MAIN DESIGN FEATURES
