METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VORTEX MIXING USING CENTRIFUGAL FORCE

摘要

A vortex mixer (42) which engages and produces a vortex mixing of a liquid within a liquid container (36) by means of centrifugally activated swing-cams. A pair of vertical swing-cams (52) acts to engage the container (36) to the mixer and a horizontal swing-cam (48) provides circular movement to the lower portion of the container (36). The upper portion of the container (36) is slideably supported (80) so that the container rotates in reaction to the vortex mixing action and thereby produces shear mixing of the liquid.
