CO-NELEMixing & Granulation
There are several types of refractory mixer equipment available in the market. Some common ones include paddle mixers, pan mixers, and planetary mixers. Each type has its own unique features and advantages. Paddle mixers use rotating paddles to mix the materials, while pan mixers have a rotating pan to achieve thorough mixing. Planetary mixers offer a more complex mixing action with multiple agitators.
| Characteristics | Planetary Mixer for Refractories | Intensive Mixers for Refractories |
|---|---|---|
| Fundamental Principle | The stirring arms rotate around the main axis, forming a complex planetary motion trajectory without dead angles. | The high-speed central rotor rotates in the opposite direction to the cylinder, creating high-intensity countercurrent shear and convection. |
| Mixing Characteristics | High homogeneity, good macroscopic and microscopic uniformity; relatively gentle process, with minimal damage to particles. | Strong shearing force, with kneading and crushing effects, promoting material granulation and fiber dispersion. |
| Advantages | Mixing without dead angles, good sealing, compact structure, relatively convenient maintenance, high cost-effectiveness. | Extremely high mixing force, large capacity to handle high-viscosity materials requiring kneading, high efficiency. |
| Applicable Materials | Various unshaped refractory materials: refractory concretes, gunning mixes, refractory mortars, ramming mixes, etc. | Brick materials requiring granulation or strong bonding: such as magnesia-carbon bricks, alumina-magnesia-carbon brick materials, materials containing fiber or tar binders. |
| Typical Scenarios | Production lines for castable refractories and dosing/mixing processes in refractory material factories. | Production lines for special refractory bricks (such as ladle lining bricks) and pre-treatment of raw materials requiring granulation. |
It works on the principle of planetary motion. The mixing tools rotate around the mixer axis while simultaneously rotating on their own axes. This dual motion ensures thorough and uniform mixing of concrete ingredients.
Capable of handling a wide range of concrete mixtures, from low to high slump concretes.
High Mixing Efficiency: Ensures that all ingredients are evenly distributed in a short time, resulting in high-quality concrete.
Durability: Built with robust materials to withstand the harsh conditions of concrete mixing.
Versatility: Can be used for different types of projects, including large-scale construction sites and small batch productions.
This Planetary Refractory Mixer equipment is designed to thoroughly mix various refractory materials to achieve a homogeneous blend. It plays a vital role in ensuring the quality and performance of the final refractory product. By evenly distributing different components such as refractory aggregates, binders, and additives, the mixer helps in creating a consistent material that can withstand high temperatures and harsh environments.
Refractory mixer equipment is widely used in various industries where high-temperature resistance is required. This includes steelmaking, cement production, glass manufacturing, and power generation. The mixed refractory materials are used to line furnaces, kilns, and other high-temperature equipment to protect them from heat and wear.

A planetary refractory mixer is specifically designed to mix unshaped refractory materials, castables, gunning mixes, mortars, and ramming mixes to achieve a high degree of macroscopic and microscopic uniformity without dead angles.
Planetary mixers focus on gentle, dead-angle-free mixing ideal for castables and unshaped refractories, while high-intensity mixers use high-speed countercurrent shearing forces designed for high-viscosity materials, fibers, or brick granulations like magnesia-carbon bricks.
Key industries include steelmaking, cement production, glass manufacturing, power generation plants, and refractory brick production plants where durable, high-temperature heat insulation linings are required.
The CMP planetary mixer series ranges from compact models like the CMP50 (50L output capacity) up to heavy-duty industrial models like the CMP5000 (5000L output capacity).
Proper mixing ensures even distribution of aggregates, binders, and additives. Consistent distribution eliminates thermal stress points, maximizing the heat resistance and mechanical lifespan of the final refractory product inside high-temperature kilns and furnaces.
