13、, food, glass, metallurgical, polymers, and pharmaceuticals industries. Despite the long history of dry solids mixing (or perhaps because of it), comparatively little is known of the mechanisms involved [1], [2] and [3

14、]. A common type of batch industrial mixer is the tumbling blender, where grains flow by a combination of gravity and vessel rotation. Although the tumbling blender is a very common device, </p><p>　　How

15、ever, conventional tumblers, rotating around a horizontal axis, all share an important characteristic: while homogenization in the direction of rotation is fast, mediated by a convective mixing process, mixing in the

16、 horizontal (axial) direction, driven by a dispersive process, is often much slower.</p><p>　　In this paper, we experimentally investigate a new tumbling mixer that rotates with respect to two axes: a horizo

43、 rotational speed of 15 rpm and with spinning speed of 7.5 rpm. The fill levels examined are 60%, 70% and 80% respectively and samples are taken after 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120 revolutions. Typical results are shown in Fig. 5

44、, which shows the RSD vs. number of blender revolutions. As expected for non-agglomerating materials, the curves show a rapidly decay</p><p><b>　　Fig. 5.</b></p><p>　　Fig. 5. Mixi

54、 blender 2 at three rotation speeds: 15 rpm, 20 rpm and 30 rpm, and as explained before, the corresponding spinning speeds were 7.5 rpm, 10 rpm and 15 rpm. Fill level considered for both side-side and top-bottom loadin

55、g was 60%.</p><p>　　Again, it was observed that varying rotation and spinning speeds did not make much difference in mixing rate. As shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, mixing curves for blender 2 vary only sl

56、ightly with rotation speed. For the top-bottom loading pattern it appears that mixing improves slightly when rotation speed is increased (the plateau is slightly lower for higher rotation speeds, indicating an improvem

57、ent in the levels of asymptotic homogeneity), but no significant changes with speed are obser</p><p>　　The blending performance of both blenders is compared at different rotation speeds for both side-sid

58、e and top-bottom loading patterns. To make a fair comparison, the fill level was kept as 60% for both blenders, a condition for which both blenders achieve effective mixing at long enough times. Due to geometric si

59、milarity of the two blenders, this comparison help evaluate the effect of spin (rotation with respect to the central symmetry axis) on mixing performance. As shown in Fig. </p><p>　　Similar results were

60、obtained for the side-side loading pattern, as displayed in Fig. 7. The RSD curves for the blender 1 for all the three rotation rates lie above the blender 2. It is therefore confirmed that spinning a blender in di

61、rection perpendicular to the rotation axis helps in enhancing mixture homogeneity; however, for the materials examined here, the rotation rate does not have much effect on mixing performance. </p><p>　　Fina

62、lly, a comparison is made between the two loading patterns for both blenders. Again, to achieve a fair comparison, all experiments are performed at 15 rpm and 60% fill level. As evident in Fig. 8, in both blenders to

63、p–bottom loading gives a more rapid decay of the RSD, indicating faster homogenization as compared to side–side loading pattern. However, for both loading modes, blender 2 achieves faster homogenization.</p><
