Researchers at Michigan State University have succeeded in developing fully transparent photovoltaic cells by studying and using unidentifiable light from human eyes.
In fact, completely transparent solar cells are a paradox of their own: the principle of photovoltaic modules is to convert the solar energy in sunlight into electrical energy. Therefore, the higher the transparency of solar cells, the energy conversion efficiency will also be lower.
Now, RidLunt, professor of chemistry and materials science at Michigan State University, says: "We know that no one wants to stay in the dark, glassy windows, and that is why we are wholeheartedly committed to creating fully transparent solar cells." If well-developed , Transparent solar cells are expected to replace the traditional glass, embedded in the windows of buildings, saving space while generating electricity, and did not affect the personal senses. Battery thin film composed of organic salt molecules, can absorb the human eye can not be aware of the solar spectrum. In the early stages of technology development, components have the potential to be rapidly, massively and cost-effectively manufactured. Not only windows in buildings, but also all glassware such as computers, television screens and mobile phones can use this technology. Really do provide electricity quietly.
However, many problems remain to be solved until the technology is actually put into production. For example, the current solar cell developed only 1% conversion rate. Researchers estimate that the power generation rate is expected to exceed 5% after optimizing the material structure. Although less efficient than translucent solar cells
QUANTUM specialize in the design, manufacture and supply of a range of mixers best suited to your specific mixing and material characteristics.
Whether your application is batch mixing or continuous mixing, major, minor and micro additives, liquid to solid, solid to liquid, or liquid additives or de-lumping during mixing, QUANTUM has vast experience - over 30 years in building mixers to assist you in your suitable mixer selection.
QUANTUM Standard Range of Mixers:
Batch Mixing:
• Ribbon Blender
• Paddle Mixers.
• Z arm Mixers
• Plough shear
• Continuous mixing:

QUANTUM provide the latest technology to offer our customers the greatest possible saving in production and performance.
We can provide complete turnkey mixing plants including batch mixing, loading and un-loading systems, product de lumping during mixing or gentle mixing action for friable products.
Mixing Criteria for Selection of Mixer
The type of mixer is dependent on many factors some are as follows but these are not limited to the following:
• Production requirements: Batch or Continuous.
• Capacity throughput
• Characteristics and nature of product, additives and mixed material characteristics and flow ability.
• Uniformity of mix and additives.
• Quantity and percentage of Major, Minor and Micro ingredients
• Powder to liquid or liquid to solid mixing requirements.
• Does the material form lumps during mixing or require conditioning
• Clean down and contamination/ Clean down and sanitary requirements.
• Selection of suitable end seal for specific materials is very important.
• Heating or Cooling.
QUANTUM Paddle Mixers
The QUANTUM Paddle Mixer is unsurpassed for its FAST, THOROUGH BLENDING. Curved, adjustable paddle blades combine a scooping and lifting action with a unique [criss-cross" blending pattern to assure a complete uniform blend for partial batches as well as full batches.
Unlike conventional Ribbon Blenders, which tend to be slow and do not allow for blending of partial batches.
Thorough Clean-Out and Positive Discharge, this is achieved with the paddle blades being curved to conform to the contour of the mixing chamber and installed to allow a close tolerance with the mixer shell. This close tolerance assures a thorough clean-out of the chamber and a positive discharge.
QUANTUM Mixers are of heavy duty construction, giving long life and trouble free performance.
An innovative [WHIZZER" can be installed on any paddle or any plough-type fluid bed mixer to provide capabilities to de-lump, pulverise, grind, finish, blend, fiberise or intensively agitate.
QUANTUM Z-Arm Mixers
QUANTUM Z-Arm Mixers are designed for fast, reliable mixing of products for the food industry. Our mixers are successfully operating and mixing ingredients for confectionery through to cereal products.
The Z-Arms Mixers have the following features:
• Z-Arms cast from stainless steel in one piece
• Mixers can be polished to suit your requirements
• The shafts seals can be quick knock down sanitary type
• The mixer bowls are heavy duty, with continuous polished welds
• The mixer bowl can be tilted for fast and complete emptying
QUANTUM Pug Mixers
QUANTUM Pug Mixers are suitable for a wide range of industries from clay and bricks through to mineral extraction processes. Pug mixers are used for applications requiring continuous flows with difficult to handle sticky products. QUANTUM have designed mixers with highly abrasive and corrosive products. Different materials of construction can be mild steel, stainless steel through to exotic alloys such as Alloy 600 and Hastelloy.
Our Pug Mixers can be supplied with different options such as:
• Heating or cooling jackets
• Liquid injection nozzles
• Wear liners
• Adjustable mixer paddles to control throughput and retention time
