FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel designing and manufacturing method for industrially viable mixer assembly and more particularly for precise mixing and coating of plurality of components deemed to be treated at manufacturing industries
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
The mixers are well known commodity in industry. Typically mixers are used in manufacturing industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverages, agriculture, plastics, dyeing and such other industries for mixing and/or coating of components in plurality of physical states including solid, liquid and gaseous states A typical mixer or coater as describe hereunder forming prior art of the invention comprises conventionally used mixers in the industry. These conventional mixers suffer from inability to produce high quality coated and/or mixing product and require long processing time. Another serious shortcoming of the conventional mixers is their vessels are permanently installed in an industrial set up forming permanent and stationary part thereof by means of structural legs grounded therein, thus lacking motion and hence increases repair complexity demands more break down time, manual efforts and cost. Because of this immobility feature denies possibilities of multiple site deployment thereof for optimization thereof
A typical mixer is described in the art of the invention wherein the mixer assembly comprises of a mixing drum, mixing blades, either axially self rotating or the inside axially fixed rotor forming circumvention of the mixture wherein screw is rotated around X-axis with the help of an electric motor coupled to a gear assembly to rotate the screw at predetermined low speed. Food products so coated are either inadequately coated or over coated.
Conventionally, industrial mixers for paint, putty and other viscous and thixotropic materials have taken various forms, but generally comprise a receptacle adapted to



hpld the material to be mixed, and stirring devices. The receptacle is fixed or rotated and the strring devices comprise paddles on rotors in other forms conventional mixers have included shaking, oscillating or vibrating mechanisms.
Static mixers are generally employed where two or more streams of free-flowing materials must be mixed together to create one completely or partially mixed combined free-flowing stream of material.
The application of static mixers to mix reactive components is known specifically in the adhesives industry wherein precise homogenous mixing of plurality of components are desired, the existing mixers employed therein have the function of both the essentially homogeneous mixing of multi-component adhesives and the layered addition of hardening accelerators to single-component adhesives. Especially in this last use of static mixers for generating and applying adhesive beads, defective adhesive bonds often result since one or more of the added layers consisting of typically non-self-hardening accelerators appearing in the outer region of the adhesive bead and contact the bonding surface
A US Patent no 5286105 teaches designing of an apparatus for mixing and dispensing multiple-component substances, which comprises a housing for receiving at least two cartridges each containing a component, and a mixer head connected to the cartridges, a shaft for rotating a mixer element disposed in the mixer head, and pistons which are connected via a clutch to a drive motor for discharging the cartridges and which are adapted to be retracted at a speed higher than the advancing speed.

In an another US Patent no 5964527 specifically a solution to the problem associated
with the gear engagement as described in US patent no 5286105 is addressed
wherein the device according to the invention is distinguished in that the mixing
gear is formed by at least one rotatingly driven blade assembly, having a rotation
shaft which is received centrally in the cross sectionally
wherein the mixing gear exerts a pushing action on the liquid i
the inlet opening.

As per US Patent 6899453, the invention relates to a static mixer having a cylindrical mixer channel formed by mixer channel housing and a multistage mixer blade element which is disposed in said mixer channel and used for mixing layers of hardening accelerator paste in a stream of highly viscous PU. Discharge openings are provided in the inlet area of the static mixer. Said discharge openings introduce a partial stream of hitherto unmixed highly viscous PU into. Secondary channels disposed parallel to the mixer channel. The secondary channels are connected to feeder openings disposed in the wall of the mixer channel downstream of the mixer wing element when viewed in the direction of flow. The unmixed PU is guided in the secondary channels and enters the outer area of the stream coming from the mixer wing element via the feeder openings where the mixed layers of hardening accelerator paste are contained. The mixed stream is jacketed with a layer of unmixed PU to prevent layers of hardening accelerator paste from being discharged from an adhesive element applied with the aid of the mixer and to prevent the occurrence of adhesive defects resulting there from.
Thus there is a need for improving mixing technology by modifying the mixer which will flexible yet robust design, reduce mixing time, irrespective of products mix to be mixed or used for coating, which is reduced to 1-4 minutes and even less than 1 minute which is @ IHr for conventional method, uniform mixing of solid components irrespective of their percentage in the mix, no degradation in the physical counters, less maintenance, compact, light in weight and portable, drastic-reduction in electrical power consumption, up to 90% over conventional method
