From agitators and high-shear mixers to inline and specialized systems, our solutions are designed to mix solids, liquids, or gases into optimal compositions. Our mixing systems integrate seamlessly into your workflows to enhance quality and productivity.

Our Solutions

Agitator Technology

• Core systems using mechanical agitation to mix liquids, powders, or viscous materials.

• Key Features:
  • Prevents settling or separation.
  • Ensures uniform distribution of components.
• Types:
  • Anchor Agitators: Ideal for viscous materials, scraping vessel
    walls for thorough mixing.
  • Turbine Agitators: Used for medium-viscosity liquids and gas
    dispersion.
  • Paddle Agitators: For gentle mixing of liquids or granular solids.

High-Shear Mixing Systems

• Designed for emulsifying, dispersing, or homogenizing materials with significant differences in density or viscosity.
• Key Features:
  • Generates fine emulsions or suspensions.
  • High energy input for intensive mixing.

Planetary Mixers

• Heavy-duty mixers with blades that rotate around their own axis and the mixing bowl axis.
• Key Features:
  • Suitable for high-viscosity materials.
  • Provides thorough mixing with minimal dead zones.

Static Mixers

• Mix materials as they flow through stationary elements in a pipeline.
• Key Features:
  • No moving parts, making them energy-efficient and low
    maintenance.
  • Suitable for continuous operations.

Inline Mixers

• Continuous mixing systems integrated into processing lines.
• Key Features:
  • High efficiency for blending materials on the go.
  • Often combined with dosing systems for real-time formulation.

Fluidized Mixing Systems

• Use air or gas to fluidize powders for mixing.
• Key Features:
  • Ensures consistent blending without mechanical components.
  • Reduces segregation of fine materials.

Hybrid Mixing Systems

• Combine multiple mixing techniques (e.g., agitation, shear, and static
  mixing).
• Key Features:
  • Enhanced versatility for complex materials.
  • Seamless integration into multifunctional processes.

Specialized Mixing Systems

• Powder Wetting Systems: For creating smooth suspensions or
  solutions by blending powders and liquids.
• Vacuum Mixing Systems: Removes air during mixing to prevent
  bubbles or contamination.
• Temperature-Controlled Mixers: Combine mixing with heating or
  cooling for temperature-sensitive materials.
• Flocculation Mixers: Promote particle aggregation for water treatment
  and separation processes.

Applications of Mixing Systems

• Food and Beverage
  • Blending ingredients for uniform texture and flavor.
  • Example: High-shear mixers emulsifying sauces or dressings.

• Pharmaceuticals
  • Creating homogenous mixtures for tablets, creams, or syrups.
  • Example: Planetary mixers combining high-viscosity ointments.

• Chemical Industry
  • Producing emulsions, suspensions, or chemical formulations.
  • Example: Static mixers homogenizing polymer solutions.

• Paints and Coatings
  • Achieving consistent color and texture in paints or varnishes.
  • Example: Inline mixers blending pigments with base materials.

• Water Treatment
  • Promoting flocculation and uniform chemical distribution.
  • Example: Flocculation mixers enhancing sediment removal in wastewater.

• Energy Sector
  • Blending biofuels or chemicals for energy production.
  • Example: Temperature-controlled mixers heating and blending biofuels.

• Plastics and Polymers
  • Homogenizing raw materials for plastic and polymer production.
  • Example: Hybrid mixing systems combining shear and agitation for polymer blends.
