When designed properly, a multi-shaft mixer can handle formulations as high asa million centipoise. A low speed anchor compliments one or two high shear devices, such as a sawtooth disc-style disperser blade or a rotor/stator assembly.Various agitator combinations are supplied depending on the specific application. Multi-shaft mixers are comprised of two or more independently-driven agitators working in tandem. Optimizing the design of this anchor agitator helps to ensure maximum mixing efficiency and processing flexibility. Multi-shaft mixers are typically equipped with a low-speed anchor agitator which promotes laminar bulk flow and uniform batch temperature.
