Preparation of Glass Batches

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document discusses the preparation of glass batches using EIRICH intensive mixers, emphasizing the importance of achieving excellent batch quality, reliable operation, and low maintenance.

Mixing Principle: The EIRICH intensive mixer is designed to produce highly homogeneous glass batches. It features a rotating mixing pan, a rotating mixing tool (either rotor or shear), and a stationary multi-purpose wall-bottom scraper. These components work together to ensure better homogeneity and reduced demixing tendency.

Design Advantages: The mixer offers several design benefits, including easy access to components, a low number of mixing tools, easy replacement of wear parts, and a long service life due to low wear. It also provides high throughput rates and easy cleaning.

Practice-Proven Accessories: Accessories such as a stationary steam lance for heating the batch and individual wear protection are available to enhance the mixing process.

Range and Technology: EIRICH mixers are available in various sizes, from 1 liter for laboratory use to 12,000 liters for production. The technology is proven and trend-setting, offering shorter mixing times, reduced rejects, and optimized premixing of minor components. The system allows for direct addition of small components, pelletizing to reduce demixing and dust, and sequential mixing for efficient melting.
