A continous mixing apparatus has an upper rotary disk and a lower rotary disk able to rotate independently of one another. A plurality of scrapers are attached to the upper and lower sides of the upper and lower rotary disks. Scrapers on the lower side of the lower rotary disk have a notch enabling the scrapers to pass over a lower ring plate in the mixer. Material to be mixed is supplied to an upper portion of the mixer, and the product is discharged from a lower portion of the mixer. The device is constructed to enable any subsequently replenished liquids to not rise to the top of the mixing apparatus. The device produces a mixture that is uniform, highly stable, and that has a small particle size or a low viscosity which can be manufactured quickly.

Continuous mixing apparatus with upper and lower disk impellers each having scrapers

Apparatus and process for continuously mixing liquid with powder, where the process uses an apparatus having a feed port for the introduction of liquid and powder on the top of a casing, a discharge outlet at the bottom of the casing, a rotating disk within the casing that divides the interior of the casing into upper and lower mixing compartments, scrapers on the upper surface of the rotating disk, and a rotating scraper positioned below the rotating disk that rotates independent from and without contacting the rotating disk.
