Abstract

Blades act as key components for twin-blade planetary mixer; their geometric parameters (blade–blade clearance and helical angle) and two different rotating modes (counter-rotating mode and co-rotating mode) were investigated numerically via commercial software ANSYS Fluent 14.5 to reveal the effects on the power or torque consumption. The results indicate that decreasing the blade–blade clearance or increasing the helical angle increases the power consumption of the twin-blade planetary mixer. The proportionality constant of power curves depends on the geometry of the blades.
