THE MIXING PRINCIPLE

Movement with a purpose.

A controlled mixing cycle

HMI / PLC controls let you set speed, cycle time and direction to develop a repeatable process.

Low-shear 3D inversion

The removable container moves through three dimensions without internal blades. Evaluate blends with different particle sizes, shapes, densities and proportions.

Flexible batch development

Use dedicated removable vessels to simplify cleaning and changeover. Container compatibility and working fill depend on your material.

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.

Example of an Alphie blender integrated into a glovebox enclosure — Example of a custom Alphie glovebox installation. Configuration varies by application.

MATERIALS & APPLICATIONS

Start with what you want to blend.

Discuss the particle properties, proportions, target uniformity and constraints that guide your trial.

Pharmaceuticals

Formulations, excipients and low-concentration ingredients.

Metal powders

Development blends with varying particle sizes and densities.

Ceramics

Ceramic powder formulations and development batches.

Battery materials

Sensitive materials and controlled-atmosphere requirements.

Food & nutrition

Spices, nutritional powders, flavors and concentrates.
