PROGRAMMABLE · 10 L

Alphie 10.
Powder blending, controlled.

Develop a larger laboratory batch with the same container-based approach. Programmable 3D inversion mixing for powders, liquids and suspensions, from R&D to small-batch production.

Alphie 10 Powder Blender
CAPACITY10 L
MAX. MIXING MASS15 kg
MOTION10–70 rpm

THE MIXING PRINCIPLE

Movement with a purpose.

Programmable process control

Set speed, mixing time and direction through the HMI / PLC to develop and refine the blending cycle.

Removable, sealed containers

Mix within a removable drum held in a cage. Dedicated containers help reduce cross-contamination and powder exposure during mixing.

Built for the next batch

A sturdy base supports laboratory and small-batch work without a special foundation. Discuss powder-coated carbon steel or stainless steel construction.

CONTAIN THE BLEND

Small vessels.
More flexibility.

Explore compatible vials, sample bottles and removable containers. Plastic, glass and stainless steel options, vessel finishes and adapters can be discussed around your material and cleaning requirements.

Dedicated containers help reduce cross-contamination and simplify product changeovers. Confirm the holder, maximum dimensions and working fill for this model.

Find the right container

CONFIGURE FOR THE APPLICATION

The details matter.

Stainless steel & sanitary configurations

Discuss stainless steel GMP-oriented construction, polished or electropolished containers and a removable tray below the drum. Front guarding and an interlock stop the machine when the guard opens. Confirm the exact features of your quoted configuration.

Controls & documentation requirements

Discuss HMI / PLC control options and any 21 CFR Part 11 requirements with the team. Configuration and documentation must be assessed for your process.

Glovebox integration

Custom arrangements can place the mixing arms, holder and sealed container inside a glovebox for controlled-atmosphere work. Discuss oxygen, moisture, containment and material-handling requirements.

OPTIONAL LIQUID DOSING SYSTEM

Add liquids.
Keep the blend moving.

Add liquid ingredients to Alphie 10 during the blending cycle. Rather than introducing the full liquid volume at the start, the optional system can deliver staged additions while the container continues its 3D inversion motion.

  1. Set the amount.

    Adjust dosing quantities around the formulation and target liquid content.

  2. Choose the timing.

    Introduce liquids at controlled intervals, with variable timing to suit the process.

  3. Distribute through the blend.

    Gradual addition can help reduce localized overwetting and clumping as the material moves.

Application possibilitiesPowder wetting · Particle coating · Binder addition · Solvent addition · Moisture control

Specify the liquid, viscosity, total addition, dosing sequence and powder batch. Confirm compatibility, connections and operating conditions through an application review and material trials.
