Improvement of Eirich Mixer in Manufacturing Process of Graphite Electrode with Multiple Cooling Points

In manufacturing, mixing is an operation that changes the heterogeneous mixture to homogeneous mixture. There are certain machineries that are used to mix the raw materials together to get a proper mixture of the product which are known as the intensive mixers, but at times the mixture of the materials is not properly mixed which create the problem of formation of lumps, increased batch weight of the mixture, irregular mixing due to tool wear that will lead to decrease in tool life, increase in power consumption of the mixer etc. which cannot be overlooked. In this review the research is done in the eirich mixer to solve the problems through the changes in the basic design and the structure of the mixing machine by adding multiple cooling points which can enhance the productivity and profit of the organisation. The cooling time and the variable torque figures are also discussed.
