Experimental testing of load kinematics in mixers with deformable chambers and vertical working tools

Abstract

Application of mixers with deformable chambers and vertical working tools has been justified as well as possibility to regulate particles translation inside the mixer chamber, which allows using maximal number of freedom action degrees on the material that provides necessary particle translation and necessary quality of the mixture. A kinematic model of a load point translation in the view of principles of continuous medium mechanics has been created. It has been determined that particles translate in cross- and longitudal sections along helix trajectories. The experimental studies of components particles translation in longitudal and cross sections with the use of models with transparent walls proved the choice of the theoretical model for the material point kinematics for determining forces and power.
