Mixing processes Glossary

In process technology, mixing refers to the homogeneous distribution of one or more substances or phases into one another. Differences in density, concentration or temperature are also balanced out by the mixing process. This prevents the formation of layers or stratification.

The distinction between static and dynamic mixing depends on whether the mixing takes place due to turbulence on stationary fixtures or due to moving mechanical mixing tools. In process engineering, traditional agitators or special mixers (e.g. jet mixers) are used to mix liquids. Highly viscous liquids and pastes are usually mixed using kneaders.

Homogenize

Homogenization refers to a mixing process in which the result is permanent, i.e. the system is stable for at least a specified time after mixing. This applies regardless of the number of phases. This includes the mixing of two liquids that are soluble in each other, the introduction of powders into liquids and the homogeneous distribution of a fat phase in water, e.g. milk.

WHat is a Homogenisator?

Suspension

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solid particles are spread throughout the liquid without dissolving in it. Examples of this are yeast wheat, cocoa milk and cloudy fruit juice.

Dispersing

Dispersing refers to the fine distribution of two phases that are insoluble in each other. One of the phases is crushed, e.g. by shearing.

Emulsify

Emulsification is a form of dispersion in which two liquids that are insoluble in each other, such as oil and water, are mixed. The components tend to separate again over time. Emulsifiers are added to ensure the stability of the emulsion even after the emulsification process.

Gassing

Gassing is a specific form of dispersing and refers to the temporary dispersion of gas bubbles in a liquid. It is used to introduce gases into the liquid in order to change the properties of the liquid. Examples of this are Foaming cream cheese or shampoo, aerating fermentation tanks.
