Abstract
An apparatus for mixing two or more substances, the apparatus comprising: (a) a first surface, the first surface having a first profile, (b) a second surface spaced apart from the first surface, the second surface having a second profile, (c) a mixing gap formed between the first and second profiles of the first surface and the second surface, and (d) at least one input channel in liquid communication with the mixing gap, to feed the mixing gap with the two or more substances to be mixed.
Claims20
An apparatus for mixing two or more substances into a mixed blend, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) a first surface, the first surface having a first profile,
- (b) a second surface spaced apart from the first surface, the second surface having a second profile,
- (c) a mixing gap formed between the first and second profiles of the first surface and the second surface, and (d) at least one input channel in liquid communication with the mixing gap, to feed the mixing gap with the two or more substances to be mixed, wherein at least one of the first surface and the second surface is a rotating surface, and wherein the first profile and the second profile are configured to mix and disperse the two or more substances flowing through the mixing gap together using one or more of high shear, cavitation and impacting forces.
A method of mixing two or more substances into a mixed blend, the method comprising:
- (a) passing two or more substances through a gap formed by two co-axial surfaces, the two co-axial surfaces having profiles such that the distance between the two co-axial surfaces varies throughout the gap, at least one of the two co-axial surfaces being capable of rotating, (b) rotating at least one of the two co-axial surfaces while the two or more substances pass through the gap thereby mixing the substances, and (c) collecting the mixed blend.
