XFZH30 Vacuum Planetary Mixer

XFZH30 Vacuum Planetary Mixer is a pilot-scale slurry preparation system designed for high-viscosity and high-uniformity mixing in battery and advanced materials research. It combines planetary motion, low-speed kneading, and high-speed dispersion under vacuum to produce homogeneous slurries while helping to minimise trapped air and agglomerates. This operating principle is especially valuable for lithium-ion battery electrode processing, where slurry uniformity strongly affects coating quality, adhesion, porosity, and electrochemical performance.

Working principle and mixing mechanism

In this system, the stirring elements rotate and revolve simultaneously, generating complex flow patterns throughout the vessel. The low-speed stirring action promotes bulk kneading and circulation, while the high-speed disperser applies strong shear to break down soft agglomerates and improve powder-liquid wetting. Vacuum operation, specified to around -0.098 MPa, assists with deaeration and helps produce more stable slurries for downstream coating and electrode fabrication.
