MAGNETIC MIXING FOR CONTINUOUS LATEX PREPARATION

摘要

A mixing process and system for mixing fluid such as a latex can include a first fluid and a second fluid that are combined to form, for example, a latex precursor. A plurality of magnetic particles are dispensed within the precursor. The precursor is dispensed within a mixing zone that may include a mixing tube. Two or more opposing electromagnets are activated out of phase (i.e., out of sync) to affect a travel path of the magnetic particles to form a turbulence within the precursor to provide an effective mixing of the precursor to form a material such as latex. The magnetic particles may be removed from the material, for example by filtering, or may remain within the material during use.

主权项

1. A system for mixing a fluid, comprising:
a first pump in fluid communication with a first fluid supply and configured to pump a first fluid from the first fluid supply to a receptacle; a second pump in fluid communication with a second fluid supply and configured to pump the second fluid from the second fluid supply to the receptacle; a first electromagnet having a first phase and a second electromagnet having a second phase, wherein the receptacle is interposed between the first electromagnet and the second electromagnet; and a controller configured to activate the first phase out of phase with the second phase.
