Abstract

In Medical Industry, mixing is a unit operation that involves manipulation of a heterogeneous physical system with the intent to make it more homogeneous. A blender is a kitchen and laboratory appliance used to mix, purée, or emulsify food and other substances. A stationary blender consists of a blender jar with a rotating metal blade at the bottom, powered by an electric motor in the base. A stationary blender consists of a blender jar with a rotating metal blade at the bottom, powered by an electric motor in the base. At an industrial scale, efficient mixing can be difficult to achieve. A great deal of engineering effort goes into designing and improving mixing processes. Mixing at industrial scale is done in batches (dynamic mixing), inline or with help of static mixers. Gearboxes are used to reduce speed and increase torque. Some applications require the use of multi-shaft mixers, in which combinations of mixer types are used to completely blend the product. Blending is very important part in our food industry. Mixing of powders is of great importance in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. However, direct online measurement of mixing is impractical due to difficulties in real-time particle sampling. Blenders are blade grinders designed specifically for use with wet ingredients. Blenders are popular tools for production of purées and pastes, using both the cutting and shearing effects of high speed blades.
