Cooling of UHMW-PE powder
The mixer is designed for the cooling of UHMW-PE powder to allow
downstream preparation. The powder is gravimetrically fed to the
mixer at a temperature of 110°C by means of a weighing hopper. A
maximum feeding time of 60s must not be exceeded to guarantee
the required capacity.
The cooling mixer is operated with increased speed of < 90 rpm to
achieve the optimum heat transfer. The ideal speed will be fixed
during commissioning.
The material is automatically discharged at full speed into 2 recei-
ving hoppers through 2 parallel flaps to take the entire batch within
45s.
