In synthetic chemistry, a combined magnetic stirrer/heater, equipped with a built-in temperature control mechanism and temperature probe, is commonly used with a heating bath (commonly oil, sand, or low-melting metal) or cooling bath (commonly water, ice, or an organic liquid mixed with liquid nitrogen or dry ice as coolant), allowing reactions ...
An agitator is a device or mechanism to put something into motion by shaking or stirring.There are several types of agitation machines, including washing machine agitators (which rotate back and forth) and magnetic agitators (which contain a magnetic bar rotating in a magnetic field).
Stirrer may refer to: Agitator, a general type of mechanical device; Magnetic stirrer, a laboratory device; Stirring rod, a simple laboratory tool; Stir stick, for stirring drinks; Stirring spoon, a type of spoon; Whisk or other kind of stirrer used in cooking; Mixer (appliance), a kitchen appliance
Magnetic stirrer, vortex mixer A static mixer is a device for the continuous mixing of fluid materials, without moving components. [ 1 ] Normally the fluids to be mixed are liquid, but static mixers can also be used to mix gas streams, disperse gas into liquid or blend immiscible liquids .
The agitation is achieved by movement of the heterogeneous mass (liquid-solid phase). In mechanical agitators, this the result of the rotation of an impeller. The bulk can be composed of different substances and the aim of the operation is to blend it or to improve the efficiency of a reaction by a better contact between reactive product.
Firestop mortar being mixed with water in a galvanised sheet metal tub, using a professional grout mixing paddle.. A mixing paddle is a shaped device, typically mounted on a shaft, which can be inserted on the shaft end into a motorised drive, for the purpose of mixing liquids, solids or both.
In 1908 Herbert Johnston, an engineer for the Hobart Manufacturing Company, invented an electric standing mixer. His inspiration came from observing a baker mixing bread dough with a metal spoon; soon he was toying with a mechanical counterpart. By 1915, his 20-gallon (80 L) mixer was standard equipment for most large bakeries.
Fluid undergoes shear when one area of fluid travels with a different velocity relative to an adjacent area. A high-shear mixer uses a rotating impeller or high-speed rotor, or a series of such impellers or inline rotors, usually powered by an electric motor, to "work" the fluid, creating flow and shear.
