MIXING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MIXING FLUIDS

摘要

Provided is a mixing apparatus which can efficiently mix two fluids, for example to create emulsions, which using a relatively low energy input. This objective is met by a mixing device comprising two confronting surfaces (1, 2) having cavities (3, 4) in the surfaces, (1, 2) and wherein the two confronting surfaces are located such that a least three narrow slits (cf. 7, 8, 81) are formed to provide subsequent contraction and expansion of the flow. Especially when the apparatus is run in a static mode, only a low energy input is required, while still providing favourable mixing conditions.
