How Does Baixiong Klimens' Powder Mixer Achieve Precise Control of Mixing Time for Plastic Additives?

Heat stabilizers, plasticizers, and antioxidants are important plastic additives that increase plastic products' functional performance during plastic processing. If there is an uneven distribution (mixing) or incorrect (timed) intervals during the mixing period, plastic products of inferior colors and poorly or inequitably distributed cohesive strengths will products will be produced. Currently, Baixiong Klimens, a national high-tech enterprise with over 26 years of experience in plastic extrusion and extrusion related machinery, has developed a high performance powder mixture machine to prevent this phenomenon. Baixiong Klimens, a plastic machinery industry both in and out of China, accomplished an "all in one" solution that provided and satisfied the industry the mixing of different plastic powder additives and the control of timing (of mixing powder) to a degree that was plastic processing and mixing powder quality was of uniform, and became a plastic converter of distinction across the globe.

The Core Control Systems of Baixiong Klimens' Powder Mixer

The Powder Mixer by Baixiong Klimens employs an advanced PLC control system for the accurate control of mixing time. The system utilizes an advanced programmable logic controller (PLC) that can be set and saved to record different mixing time intervals (for example: 3 minutes for mixing heat stabilizer, and 5 minutes for mixing plasticizer and filler). The PLC is connected to the touch screen and can be adjusted and monitored by the operator for real time control of the mixing time. The powder mixer is equipped with a variable frequency drive (VFD) that controls the speed of the mixer according to the type of plastic additive. The mixer speed, together with the configured mixing time, is optimized to ensure that the additive is thoroughly mixed, and the properties of the additive are not damaged by over-mixing. The integrated control system forms the basis of the efficient time control system of the powder mixer.

Sensors and Monitoring Technology in Baixiong Klimens’ Powder Mixer

Powder mixers from Baixiong Klimens integrate some of the most sophisticated sensor and monitoring technologies to optimize the precision of the mixing time. The mixer has a specific torque sensor to measure the resistance of the powder blend during operation. As plastic additives reach the optimal mixing state, the torque value changes, and the sensor notifies the PLC to either automatically adjust or prematurely end the mixing cycle, which helps avoid over mixing. In addition, a temperature monitoring sensor is implemented in the mixer chamber. This is important because some additives, such as certain antioxidants, can be temperature sensitive. The sensor tracks the mixing temperature in real time, and if the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, the PLC will either slow or temporarily stop the mixer to preserve the stability of the additives in addition to accurate timing. With sensor in tandem, the system safeguards and ensures the precision of the mixing time.

How Baixiong Klimens’ Powder Mixer is Utilized in the Mixing of Plastic Additives

There is much evidence that shows how Baixiong Klimens’ powder mixer manages the time of mixing plastic additives. A PVC pipe mixer in Jiangsu uses the powder mixer to mix PVC resin and heat stabilizers and lubricants. The mixer is set in the PLC system to a 4-minute mixing time. The stabilizer is evenly distributed in the mixer and this reduces the product rejection ratio of stabilizers to 12% and to 2% due to the evenly additive mixed product. The next example goes to a producer of plastic film in Guangdong. The producer uses the powder mixer in mixing plasticizers with light stabilizers and the mixer's torque sensor stops the mixing automatically and this helps in lowering the average time of mixing in every batch for 1 minute but is able to attain a balanced flexibility of the film. It shows correctness and effectiveness of the time control of the powder mixer when dealing with the mix of plastic additives.

Quality Control and Personalization of Baixiong Klimens' Powder Mixer

To ensure mixing time control remains steady, Baixiong Klimens tests thier powder mixer doing 24 hour continuous runs to quality assure the control system and sensor setter on the mixers. There is a global quality control system, and the mixer has CE certifications as well as ISO 9001 certifications. There has to be balancing adaptations to the control parameters based on the type of plastic additives. Regarding heat-sensitive foaming agents, the time and speed of the mixers must be modified. The powder mixer passes many standards of quality control and personalizaton, and is suited to many different plastic processing systems!

The mixer can control the time for every mix. This implies that every time the mixer can ensure that the additives are mixed perfectly. This improves the quality of the final plastic product and helps the manufacturer save on costs. Baixiong Klimens can produce the mixer because of their industry-leading experience of 26 years and 60 patents to their name. This makes the decision to buy their powder mixer easy for any plastic producer looking to mix plastic additives. Baixiong Klimens is reliable and optimized to perfection leading to the conclusion that it is the best available option.
