A distributive and dispersive mixing apparatus of the CDDM type comprising two confronting surfaces as being the inner surface of shell (4) and the outer surface of fixed cage (2)) and at least one cage-like member (3) disposed between the confronting surfaces said cage-like member (3) defining passages for fluid flow adjacent at least one of the confronting surfaces CHARACTERISED IN THAT the or at least one cage-like member (3) has a relative rotational movement but is not freely rotating relative to at least one of the confronting surfaces and/or at least one other cage-like member, and the bulk fluid flow within the mixing apparatus is in the plane of the surface of the or at least one cage-like member perpendicular to the direction of relative rotational movement.
A distributive and dispersive mixing apparatus of the CDDM type comprising two confronting surfaces (1, 4) and at least one cage-like member (2,3) disposed between the confronting surfaces (1, 4) said cage-like member (2,3) defining passages for fluid flow adjacent at least one of the confronting surfaces (1, 4) CHARACTERISED IN THAT at least one of the at least two confronting surfaces (1, 4) is smooth, and the or at least one cage-like member (2,3) is driven by a motor to perform a rotation relative to at least one of the confronting surfaces (1, 4) and/or at least one other cage-like member (2,3), and ports (5, 6) are provided for ingress and egress such that the bulk fluid flow within the mixing apparatus is in the plane of the surface of the or at least one cage-like member (2,3).
