High speed bentonite mixers use a rotating head (e.g., a rotor-stator structure) to generate high shear forces, with shear rates reaching 20,000 to 100,000 s⁻¹, typically at rotational speeds of 10-50 m/s (up to 3,600 rev/min). This shear force quickly breaks down agglomerates between bentonite particles, dispersing them evenly in water to form a colloidal suspension. In addition to bentonite, the equipment can also process immiscible liquids such as water, cement, and additives (e.g., oil-water interfaces). The multi-directional velocity components (rotational, longitudinal, horizontal, vertical, and radial) generated by the rotating head achieve uniform mixing and reduce droplet size to 2-10 µm.
High shear speed grout mixers offer high shear efficiency, rapid dispersion, uniform mixing, and anti-sticking properties in bentonite mixing. They can significantly improve the mixing efficiency and quality of bentonite slurries and are suitable for projects requiring high mixing uniformity.
A bentonite slurry grout plant is designed to produce, store, and supply bentonite slurry for use in grouting applications, particularly in civil engineering, construction, and foundation projects. Bentonite slurry is a mixture of water and bentonite clay, known for its high viscosity, thixotropic properties, and ability to form a stable, impermeable barrier when hydrated.
