mixing matters blog

No, all our mixers are manufactured in house, and require various lead times, depending on how big the mixer is.

Yes! We have in house engineers who know anything and everything to do with mixing.

No. We design mixers to mix fluids, and viscosities of fluids up to 10000 cp.

Specific gravity: the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard, usually water for a liquid or solid, and air for a gas. Density of a fluid relative to water.

Viscosity is a quantity expressing the magnitude of internal friction, as measured by the force per unit area resisting a flow in which parallel layers unit distance apart have unit speed relative to one another. Viscosity is how “thick” a fluid is. Centipoise, Centistokes, Krebs Units, SSU’s, are some measurements of viscosity. At Dynamix we prefer if you tell us the Centipoise, CP’s please!

Shear: Is a strain in the structure of a substance produced by pressure, when its layers are laterally shifted in relation to each other. Shear is not desirable in most mixing applications. Ex: Mixing polymers, paint, oil. Shear sensitivity applies to fluids that can separate easily.
