Glass batches consist of many individual components which in some cases differ considerably in terms of their:
- Ratio in the formula,
- Bulk density or specific density,
- Particle size distribution,
- Grain form
- Solubility and wetting characteristics,
- Tendency to form agglomerates.
The main function of the mixing machine is to produce a batch of optimum homogeneity and lowest possible demixing tendency.
Eirich intensive mixers are high performance machines adapted to the specific requirements of the glass industry.
