Counter-rotating blender for cosmetic and pharmaceutical mixing

Achieve precise mixing and homogenizing of complex formulations, ensuring optimal process conditions for high-quality creams, gels, and emulsions, with advanced temperature and pressure control to meet demanding production requirements.

Mixes and Homogenizes Viscous Products

The MCR Counter-Rotating Blenders from INOXPA are engineered-to-order solutions designed for the precise mixing and homogenizing of viscous products in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and personal care industries. These blenders utilize a counter-rotating mechanism with an anchor-type agitator and central shaft with opposite moving blades, facilitating efficient mixing even under vacuum conditions. Suitable for processes such as emulsifying and dispersing, the equipment operates within a temperature range of -7 to 120°C and pressure conditions from -1 to 0.5 bar, ensuring adaptability for various formulations, including creams, gels, sauces, and emulsions.

With a robust construction featuring AISI 316 stainless steel for product contact parts and an FDA-compliant design, these blenders offer durability and compliance for critical processing environments. They are equipped with a CIP system with rotating spray balls for seamless integration with existing cleaning protocols. Additionally, the inclusion of a PT100 temperature probe ensures reliable thermal control, essential for maintaining product integrity during processing.

The MCR blenders are designed for flexible operations, accommodating batch, continuous, and high-speed processing. Their modular nature allows customization in support structures, weighing systems, and lid lifting mechanisms to fit specific operational needs, supported by comprehensive engineering services for optimal integration into your production line.
