ArgoMix

Road reflectors, light posts, rebar, threaded rods and various screen tubing need to be anchored in concrete with epoxy. I'm trying to get an estimate of how many holes need to be drilled/mile of new road.

Thanks!

Are people using these for hours/day? I understand that the mixing is difficult to perform, but I can't imagine even a professional going through more than 5 tubes/mixers in a single day.

What application was that in? What were you mixing? How many mixers/times a day did you have to do this?

Sure thing! The L/D ratio is the ratio of a mixer's length (L) to the diameter of the pipe it's set in (D). The idea being that if you can reduce the L/D in one application, you're effectively decreasing the overall length of necessary piping. This, in turn, reduces the amount of waste of whatever you are mixing that would be stuck in the mixing segment after it has been dispensed.

Does that help?

Hi!

I'm researching disposable static mixers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I was wondering where a mixer with a reduced L/D ratio would be the most useful. Currently, the research is in disposable mixing components such as those used in 2 part resins, epoxies and polyurethanes. These mixtures are then used in construction, marine, and automotive manufacturing applications. Where would a shorter mixer (that reduces product waste) be the most beneficial? In what application within these industries? Where else might I look for an answer to this?

Thanks a ton!
