INGCO MX218008-SP-1-A Mixer- Right Rabble/ Paddle

The MX218008-SP-1-A Mixer- Righr Rabble/ Paddle is a type of industrial agitator used for mixing large volumes of paint. It’s designed for efficient mixing and homogenization of paint components, ensuring consistent color, viscosity, and overall quality.

Components:

• Shaft: A central metal rod that connects the motor to the mixing element.
• Motor: Provides the power to rotate the shaft and mixing paddle.
• Right Rabble/Paddle: The key mixing element. It’s a flat, wide blade attached to the bottom of the shaft. The “right” designation refers to the direction of the paddle’s rotation, typically in a clockwise direction from the top-down view.
• Tank: The container that holds the paint being mixed. It can be a cylindrical vessel made of metal or plastic, with a large enough opening to accommodate the mixer.

How it Works:

1. The motor powers the rotation of the shaft.
2. The right rabble/paddle spins within the paint, creating a shearing force. This force breaks up clumps, distributes pigments evenly, and incorporates additives throughout the paint.
3. The clockwise rotation (when viewed from above) pushes the paint downwards along the tank wall and then inwards towards the center. This creates a circulatory motion within the paint, ensuring thorough mixing.

Applications:

• Mixing large batches of paint (industrial, architectural, automotive)
• Dispersing pigments and additives uniformly
• Suspending solids to prevent settling
• Maintaining consistent paint viscosity
• Re-homogenizing separated paint components

Advantages:

• Efficient mixing for large volumes
• Simple design for easy maintenance and cleaning
• Suitable for various paint types

Disadvantages:

• May not be ideal for delicate materials that require gentle mixing
• Not suitable for very viscous paints due to the pushing action
• May require adjustments based on tank size and paint volume

Additional Notes:

• Some right rabble/paddles may have angled blades for enhanced mixing action.
• Variable speed motors allow for adjusting the mixing intensity for different paint types.
• Some models may be equipped with scraping blades to ensure complete mixing at the tank bottom.
