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.

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.
