In the past, when large batches of chemicals had to be mixed manually, the results were not as good as they should. The substances that resulted after the combination were many times inconsistent. Today, with the use of the inline mixing technology, the emulsions are becoming better. The computerized machines can be very efficient, saving a lot of money in transports and production. At first static mixers were used, and later everything was becoming automated, speeding up production in this way.
The water amount that is contained by emulsions usually reaches ninety percent, so this substance is used the most. To have better blending may not be the only thing to consider, also the storage space may be important. Many problems occur because of the lack of space, others occur because of bad transportation. If the transportation is not made with care, the substances can degrade.
Because it may be too expensive to transport chemical substances, many companies that have high amounts of liquids to manage, may choose to store them for long periods of time. If the liquids stay for too much time in the same place, the environment created can be a good one for bacteria growth. In order to avoid the development of microorganisms, the scientists have decided to implement technologies that are used in the textile industry, such as static mixing or inline mixing.
Static mixers are not having moving parts, and this may be a great advantage. In 1960, the first static mixer was created. The device decreases the particle size to a point in which the particles create a strong connection together, that usually resists in time. In order to reach a certain particle dimension, the parts can be divided many times. The baffles are the tools that help in the division of streams. When the parts are small enough, they can connect, forming a consistent mix.
Continuous blend or inline mixing was first used around 1990. Being made from a static mixer that is implemented into an automated machine, it also has an automated pump and one or more flowmeters.
In order to make a system work, there are various components required and they depend on the number of substances that are used, and the volume that is needed. In many industries and especially in the textile industry, the parts that are needed for an inline mixer are: progressive cavity pumps, mass flowmeters, inline heaters, programmable logic controllers and static mixers.
Mass flowmeters manage the quantity of each substance that is pumped for mixing and they can also offer valuable information like temperature or density. Progressive cavity pumps can help in the movement of the mixed chemicals. The products that can be handled by a progressive cavity pump are numerous, as they can be from abrasive materials to different liquids.
Because of a new technology, inline mixer mixing is an automated operation and it can be used for creating combined chemical substances. In comparison with the old static mixers, the automated devices are more efficient and they make better emulsions. However, a static mixer can be a part of an inline system.
