TENCAN Mixed Series: Powder Mixing, Slurry Dispersion and Homogenizing Solutions

The TENCAN Mixed Series is designed for material blending, powder homogenization, slurry dispersion, emulsification and high-viscosity mixing in laboratory, pilot and production workflows. In powder processing, mixing is not only a supporting step. It directly affects formula consistency, material performance, reaction stability, product quality and production efficiency. Whether the process involves dry powder blending, granule mixing, liquid-solid dispersion, coating slurry preparation or high-viscosity kneading, choosing the right mixing equipment is essential for stable results.

Mixing equipment is used to combine two or more materials into a uniform mixture. These materials may include powders, granules, additives, binders, liquids, pastes or slurries. Compared with crushing and grinding equipment, a mixer does not mainly reduce particle size. Its purpose is to distribute components evenly, prevent formula deviation, improve material contact and prepare the mixture for the next process, such as granulation, pressing, coating, sintering, packaging or further milling.

TENCAN provides a wide range of mixing equipment for different material states and process requirements. The Mixed Series includes V type mixers, double cone mixers, inclined mixers, 3D mixers, trough mixers, horizontal ribbon mixers, hydraulic dispersers, high-speed dispersing homogenizers, shear emulsifiers, vacuum kneaders, non-invasive material homogenizers and multi-directional universal mixers. This product coverage makes it possible to select a suitable machine according to material flowability, viscosity, density difference, loading volume, cleanliness requirement and mixing target.

Why Choose TENCAN Mixed Series?

TENCAN focuses on powder processing equipment and provides complete solutions covering crushing, grinding, sieving, mixing, forming, sintering and laboratory material handling. For users who need a complete powder preparation line, mixing equipment is often used after grinding and sieving to achieve formula uniformity. It may also be used before grinding when several raw materials need to be pre-blended.

The main advantage of the TENCAN Mixed Series is the wide equipment range. Different materials require different mixing principles. Free-flowing dry powders may be suitable for V type mixers or double cone mixers. Granules and powders with better fluidity can be processed by three-dimensional mixing. Sticky powders, pastes, putty, coating materials and semi-fluid materials may require horizontal ribbon mixing or vacuum kneading. Liquid-solid systems, pigments, inks, coatings and adhesives often need high-speed dispersion or homogenizing.

Another important advantage is customization. TENCAN can provide different working volumes, contact materials, inner linings, speed control systems, timing functions, lifting structures, discharge methods, sealing structures and vacuum options according to process requirements. For materials sensitive to contamination, stainless steel contact parts, polished inner walls or special linings can be considered. For materials requiring stronger dispersion, high-speed dispersing discs, shear heads or vacuum degassing systems can be selected.

V Type Mixer for Dry Powder and Granule Blending

The V type mixer is a classic dry powder mixing machine. It is suitable for mixing two or more dry powder or granular materials in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, metallurgy, electronics and related industries. Its V-shaped cylinder structure allows materials to repeatedly separate, combine, flow and diffuse during rotation.

This type of mixer is especially suitable when the particle size and density of the materials are relatively close. Because the mixing process is gentle and does not rely on strong mechanical compression, it helps maintain particle integrity and reduces unnecessary breakage. The smooth inner surface also helps reduce material accumulation and makes cleaning more convenient.

For laboratories, small-batch production and formula testing, the V type mixer is a practical choice. It can be used for powder formula development, additive blending, ceramic powder mixing, chemical powder preparation and small-scale production. Optional materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel or nylon can be selected according to material compatibility and contamination requirements.

Double Cone Mixer for Free-Flowing Powders

The double cone mixer is suitable for uniform mixing of powders and granules with good flowability. It is widely used in ceramics, magnetic materials, chemical processing, metallurgy, medicine, feed and other industries. The double cone vessel rotates continuously, allowing the material to tumble, collide and move in a complex flow path until it reaches a uniform mixing state.

Compared with some high-shear equipment, the double cone mixer provides relatively gentle mixing. It is suitable for materials that should not be crushed or strongly heated during mixing. For fine powders, powders with slight moisture or trace additives, the double cone mixer can also provide good mixing results when the process parameters are properly selected.

According to customer requirements, the mixing cylinder can be made of polished stainless steel or lined with wear-resistant and contamination-control materials such as corundum or polyurethane. This is useful for users who process ceramic powders, magnetic materials, chemical powders or materials that require lower metal contamination.

3D Mixer for Multi-Directional Powder Movement

The 3D mixer uses a three-dimensional movement mode to improve the mixing efficiency of powders and granules. During operation, the mixing barrel moves in multiple directions, allowing materials to diffuse, flow and shear continuously. This helps reduce dead zones and improves the uniformity of materials with good flowability.

The 3D mixer is suitable for pharmaceutical, chemical, food, metallurgy, light industry, electronics, ceramics and research applications. It can be used for powder and granular materials, and in some processes grinding balls may be added to improve combined mixing and mild grinding effects.

Compared with simple rotary mixing, three-dimensional movement can reduce the influence of centrifugal force and help minimize segregation caused by density differences. This makes the 3D mixer suitable for applications where formula uniformity is important, such as lithium cobalt oxide materials, ceramic powder formulas, daily chemical materials, organic and inorganic powder mixtures.

Horizontal Ribbon Mixer for Powders, Pastes and Slurries

The horizontal ribbon mixer is designed with inner and outer spiral ribbons mounted on a horizontal shaft. The inner ribbon moves material outward, while the outer ribbon moves material inward. This opposite material flow creates a strong convective mixing effect inside the barrel, allowing powders or semi-fluid materials to be mixed efficiently.

This machine is widely used for putty paste, stone-like paint, dry powder mortar, pharmaceutical materials, food materials, chemicals, feed, ceramics and refractory materials. It is suitable for solid-solid mixing, such as powder with powder, and solid-slurry mixing, such as powder with glue or paste.

For materials with higher viscosity, the horizontal ribbon mixer is often more suitable than a V type or double cone mixer. It provides stronger mechanical movement and can handle materials that do not flow freely. Depending on the process, discharge methods, jacket heating or cooling structures, stainless steel contact parts and sealing methods can be customized.

Trough Mixer for Wet and Semi-Wet Materials

The trough mixer is suitable for mixing powders with liquid binders or preparing wet materials before granulation, drying or further processing. Its mixing blades move materials inside a U-shaped trough, creating repeated turning and folding actions.

This type of mixer is commonly used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food and powder processing applications. It is suitable when dry powder mixing is not enough and the process requires a certain amount of liquid addition. Compared with free-fall mixers, the trough mixer provides stronger mechanical agitation and better control for semi-wet materials.

For users who need to prepare wet granules, paste-like mixtures or materials with moderate viscosity, the trough mixer can be an economical and practical solution.

Dispersers and Homogenizers for Liquid-Solid Systems

In many modern material processes, mixing is not limited to dry powders. Coatings, inks, pigments, adhesives, battery slurries, cosmetics, biological materials and food emulsions often require liquid-solid dispersion or liquid-liquid homogenization. For these applications, TENCAN provides hydraulic dispersers, high-speed dispersing homogenizers and shear emulsifiers.

A hydraulic disperser uses a high-speed dispersing disc to create strong shear, impact and friction between the material and the disc. It helps materials dissolve, disperse, emulsify and mix rapidly. It is widely used in coatings, inks, pigments, paper-making chemicals, adhesives and other chemical products.

A high-speed dispersing homogenizer is suitable for laboratory and small-batch applications involving liquid-liquid mixing, emulsification, liquid-solid powder dispersion, homogenizing, tissue crushing and slurry preparation. Different working heads can be selected according to sample volume and material characteristics.

A shear emulsifier provides stronger rotor-stator shearing action for emulsification, dispersion and homogenization. It is suitable for applications that require more intense mechanical treatment than ordinary stirring.

Vacuum Kneader for High-Viscosity Materials

For high-viscosity and high-elasticity materials, ordinary mixers may not provide enough kneading force. The vacuum kneader is designed for materials such as silicone sealant, silicone rubber, plastic materials, battery slurry, ink, pigment, dye, CMC cellulose, carbon materials and similar sticky systems.

The vacuum kneader combines mixing, kneading, shearing, crushing and re-polymerizing actions. The vacuum structure helps remove air and moisture from the material, improving density and purity. This is important for applications where bubbles, trapped air or water content can affect final product performance.

The mixing shafts usually operate at different speeds, providing both mixing and shearing effects. For users working with viscous pastes, rubber-like materials, sealants, battery slurry or high-solid-content materials, a vacuum kneader can provide more reliable processing than common powder mixers.

Non-Invasive Material Homogenizer for Mixing and Degassing

The non-invasive material homogenizer is designed for efficient mixing and bubble removal without direct contact between the mixing tool and the material. It uses combined revolution and rotation motion, together with a vacuum system, to homogenize, disperse and degas materials.

This type of equipment is suitable for high-viscosity materials such as adhesives, coatings, inks and slurries. It is also useful for battery materials, conductive adhesives, pharmaceutical suspensions, cosmetic emulsions, food pastes and laboratory small-batch samples.

Because the machine does not directly contact the material, it can help reduce cross-contamination and simplify cleaning. It is especially useful for laboratories and R&D departments that process different materials frequently and need fast sample preparation with good repeatability.

Key Application Fields

The TENCAN Mixed Series is widely used in powder metallurgy, new energy materials, lithium battery materials, ceramics, magnetic materials, chemical materials, coatings, pigments, inks, adhesives, plastics, rubber, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, feed, building materials and research laboratories.

In new energy and battery material processing, mixing equipment helps improve the uniformity of conductive agents, binders, active materials and slurry systems. In ceramic and powder metallurgy applications, uniform powder blending helps improve forming and sintering consistency. In chemical and coating industries, dispersion and homogenizing equipment helps reduce agglomerates and improve product stability. In food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical research, stainless steel structures and easier cleaning are important for material safety and process repeatability.

Difference from Grinding, Crushing and Sieving Equipment

Mixing equipment has a different role from grinding, crushing and sieving equipment. Crushing equipment reduces large materials into smaller pieces. Grinding equipment refines materials into finer powder through impact, friction and shear. Sieving equipment separates particles according to size. Mixing equipment focuses on uniform distribution of different components.

In a complete powder processing workflow, these steps often work together. A raw material may first be crushed, then ground by a ball mill, then sieved to control particle size, and finally mixed with additives or binders. For slurry production, powder may be dispersed into a liquid phase after grinding and classification.

Understanding this workflow helps users select the right equipment. If the goal is particle size reduction, a mill or crusher is needed. If the goal is formula uniformity, a mixer is needed. If the goal is slurry dispersion, a disperser or homogenizer may be more suitable. If the material is highly viscous or bubble-sensitive, a vacuum kneader or non-invasive homogenizer may be the better choice.

Customization and Selection Support

Selecting the right mixer depends on material type, particle size, density difference, flowability, viscosity, moisture content, batch volume, required uniformity, cleaning requirement and downstream process. TENCAN can recommend suitable equipment according to customer materials and working conditions.

For dry powders, users should provide material name, bulk density, particle size, mixing ratio, batch size and required mixing time. For slurry or paste materials, users should provide viscosity, solid content, solvent or liquid type, target dispersion effect and whether vacuum degassing is required. For high-viscosity materials, temperature control, vacuum level, discharge method and kneading strength should also be considered.

TENCAN can support customization in working volume, contact material, lining material, motor power, speed control, timing function, vacuum system, heating or cooling jacket, lifting method, discharge valve, explosion-proof configuration and electrical control system.

The TENCAN Mixed Series provides practical solutions for dry powder blending, granule mixing, slurry dispersion, emulsification, homogenizing and high-viscosity kneading. Whether you need a laboratory powder mixer, a production-scale ribbon mixer, a high-speed disperser or a vacuum kneader, TENCAN can help match the equipment to your process and material characteristics.
