In the field of electronic heat dissipation materials, the mixing uniformity of thermal conductive silicone grease directly affects its thermal conductivity efficiency and application reliability. As a professional manufacturer of vacuum
planetary centrifugal mixers, SMIDA provides innovative solutions based on planetary centrifugal motion and vacuum environment to address the mixing difficulties of thermal conductive silicone grease, especially in high filler content systems. When unevenly distributed thermal conductive silicone grease enters the SMIDA equipment, it can be quickly transformed into a uniform and delicate paste through the synergistic effect of high-speed planetary motion and centrifugal force field, solving problems such as filler settling and residual bubbles caused by traditional stirring.
Pain points of thermal conductive silicone grease mixing: bottleneck breakthrough of traditional technology
Thermal conductive silicone grease is usually composed of silicone oil (matrix) and metal oxide (such as alumina, boron nitride) fillers, with a solid content of over 80% and a viscosity of up to 500000 to 1 million cP. Traditional mixers face three major challenges:
Filler settlement: High density fillers (such as boron nitride with a density of 2.2g/cm ³) have a large density difference with silicone oil, and are prone to layering after stirring. A certain heat dissipation module manufacturer has measured that the difference in thermal conductivity between the upper and lower layers of silicone grease under traditional processes is up to 18%
Bubble residue: High viscosity systems are prone to air entrapment during stirring, and a bubble rate exceeding 1% can increase thermal resistance by more than 20%
Low mixing efficiency: Traditional planetary stirring takes 40-60 minutes, and the uniformity can only reach ± 3%
The SMIDA device combines "planetary motion+vacuum defoaming" technology to shorten the mixing time to 10-15 minutes, improve uniformity to ± 0.5%, and control the bubble rate below 0.1%. After the application of a certain CPU heat dissipation silicone grease manufacturer, the consistency of the product's thermal conductivity increased by 25%, and the yield rate increased from 82% to 98%.
Technical core: synergistic effect of planetary centrifugation and vacuum environment
Design of Composite Motion Flow FieldThe SMIDA device stirs the container to form a planetary trajectory through revolution and rotation, coupled with a 45 ° inclined blade, producing a triple mixing effect inside the container:
Shear dispersion: High speed rotation generates 2000G centrifugal force to disperse agglomerated filler particles (such as 5 μ m alumina) to below 1 μ m
Convection flipping: Planetary motion generates axial circulation of animal materials, overcoming flow resistance caused by high viscosity and achieving material displacement between upper and lower layers
Permeation mixing: Radial flow field drives molecular level permeation of materials with different densities (silicone oil density 0.96g/cm ³ vs filler 2.5g/cm ³)
Vacuum defoaming system-The synergistic effect of vacuum negative pressure environment and centrifugal force causes bubbles to migrate towards the edge of the container under mechanical effects. Combined with the blade scraping design, the defoaming efficiency is four times higher than that of simple mechanical stirring. According to data from a supplier of automotive electronic silicone grease, after using SMIDA equipment, the bubble rate of flip chip heat dissipation silicone grease decreased from 4.5% to 0.08%, meeting the IATF16949 standard.
Intelligent temperature control moduleThe temperature control system regulates the ambient temperature during the stirring process through a water-cooled circulation system, avoiding the denaturation of the matrix silicone oil caused by the heat generated by stirring high viscosity silicone grease. The constant temperature vacuum stirring system customized by a certain military enterprise completes the addition of silicone grease mixing under stable temperature conditions, and the viscosity stability of the product is increased by 35%, meeting the wide temperature application requirements of aerospace equipment.
