Static mixing device and method of manufacturing static mixing device

A multi-component fluid mixing device comprising:

• a first static mixer configured to:
• receive a first fluid component and a second fluid component, which form a multi-component fluid, and
• at least partially mix the multi-component fluid as the multi-component fluid flows in a first flow direction along a longitudinal axis of the first static mixer;
• a second static mixer configured to:
• receive the multi-component fluid, and
• further mix the multi-component fluid as the multi-component fluid flows in a second flow direction, different from the first flow direction, along a longitudinal axis of the second static mixer;
• a first connecting channel connecting a second end of the first static mixer to a first end of the second static mixer to form a flow path of the multi-component fluid;
• a third static mixer;
• a fourth static mixer, wherein the first static mixer, the second static mixer, the third static mixer, and the fourth static mixer are disposed in a canister in a circular arrangement around a central axis, and the static mixers are positioned parallel to each other and the flow path alternates between the first flow direction and the second flow direction, creating a serpentine flow path;
• an outlet connected to the flow path of the multi-component fluid and configured to output the mixed multi-component fluid;
• wherein the canister is disposed between a first end piece and a second end piece, the second end piece comprising an inlet and the outlet, the first end piece and the second piece comprising an end piece set;
• a first channel group comprising the first connecting channel;
• a second of channel group comprising a second connecting channel housed in the first end piece and a third connecting channel housed in the second end piece;
• wherein the first channel group is configured to connect the first static mixer and the second static mixer to form the flow path of the multi-component fluid, excluding the third static mixer and the fourth static mixer from the flow path of the multi-component fluid;
• and
• wherein the second channel group is configured to connect the first static mixer, the second static mixer, the third static mixer, and the fourth static mixer to form the flow path of the multi-component fluid;
• and
• an adjustment mechanism configured to rotate one of the canister and the end piece set in a rotation to switch between the first channel group in a first position and the second channel group in a second position, wherein the inlet of the first end piece is configured to align with the first channel group in the first position or the second channel group in the second position based on the rotation.

• and
• an outlet connected to the flow path of the multi-component fluid and configured to output the mixed multi-component fluid;
• wherein the outlet includes an opening defined by a surface of the multi-component fluid mixing device, the outlet is connected to the flow path of the multi-component fluid and configured to output the mixed multi-component fluid through the opening, and a longitudinal axis of the outlet including the opening is co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the second static mixer.
