Key Advantages – Why Choose PPCELL Planetary Vacuum Mixer?

  • High mixing efficiency: Dual planetary blades rotate on their own axes while orbiting, eliminating dead zones and achieving 4‑5x higher efficiency than conventional mixers.
  • Vacuum degassing (≤ -0.095 MPa): Removes trapped air bubbles, prevents solvent evaporation, and enables vacuum feeding – critical for defect‑free electrode coating.
  • Powerful high‑speed dispersion: Independent disperser with multi‑layer serrated discs at up to 2980 rpm, providing intense shear to rapidly break agglomerates.
  • No dead corners & easy cleaning: A dedicated scraping blade continuously cleans the vessel wall. SUS304 stainless steel construction resists both water‑based and organic solvents.
  • Precise temperature control: Jacketed vessel with intelligent PID controller supports electric, steam, hot oil, or water circulation for accurate heating/cooling.
  • Hydraulic discharge system (optional): Follow‑plate extruder simplifies the discharge of extremely viscous materials, minimizing waste and cleaning effort.

Applications – Slurry Mixing Machine for Battery & Beyond

Our planetary vacuum mixer is widely used in the energy industry for preparing:

  • Cathode slurries: NMC, LFP, LCO, NCA
  • Anode slurries: Graphite, silicon‑carbon (Si‑C), LTO
  • Next‑generation batteries: Solid‑state electrolyte pastes, gel polymer electrolytes
  • Other high‑viscosity pastes: Adhesives, sealants, electronic pastes (silver paste, aluminum paste)

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the advantage of a planetary mixer over a traditional mixer for battery slurry?

Planetary mixers generate extremely high torque and provide a combination of planetary revolution and blade self‑rotation, eliminating dead zones. This ensures uniform mixing of high‑viscosity, high‑solid content slurries – critical for consistent electrode coating and cell performance.

Q2: Can this mixer handle both water‑based anode and NMP‑based cathode slurries?

Yes. The SUS304 stainless steel vessel and blades are resistant to both water‑based and organic solvent systems. For flammable solvents, we offer explosion‑proof electrical configurations.

Q3: How does the vacuum degassing function improve slurry quality?

Vacuum mixing removes entrapped air bubbles that would otherwise cause pinholes, coating defects, and poor adhesion. It also prevents solvent evaporation, enabling vacuum feeding that reduces material loss and improves batch consistency.

Q4: Is temperature control available?

Yes. The jacketed vessel can be connected to an external circulator for precise heating or cooling. An intelligent PID controller maintains set temperature with high accuracy – essential for optimizing the rheology of temperature‑sensitive formulations.

Q5: Can I scale up from this 10L mixer to larger production units?

Absolutely. PPCELL offers planetary mixers from 2L laboratory units to 100L, 300L, 500L, and 1000L production models, with similar geometry and mixing action for reliable scale‑up. Process parameters developed on smaller units can be directly transferred to larger models.

Q6: What certifications do PPCELL mixers have?

Our mixers are CE certified and can be configured with ATEX / explosion‑proof components for hazardous environments. All electrical components meet international safety standards.
