Cylindro conical mixer for batch mixing

Maximize mixing efficiency in compact spaces with this versatile solution, ideal for ensuring uniformity of powders, liquids, and pastes across a multitude of applications in your production line.

Mixes and Discharges Pharmaceutical and Chemical Materials

The Cylindro Conical Mixer CCM from the HEINKEL Drying and Separation Group is a versatile batch mixer designed specifically for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food products. With its central shaft agitator, this mixer ensures thorough blending of powders, liquids, and pastes, reducing batch times by keeping all materials in constant motion. It offers flexibility with adjustable speeds and a working volume of 15-70% of the gross capacity. The system operates efficiently under a wide range of temperatures and pressures, with the central shaft tolerating up to 240°C and pressures from -1 to +6 bar. Constructed from stainless steel materials like AISI 316L and Hastelloy C22, it provides excellent corrosion resistance. Compliance with ATEX and EHEDG standards ensures safety and hygiene, making it suitable for GMP-regulated environments. The CCM also features easy discharging and maintenance with an external shaft sealing, and it is fully equipped for integration with existing processes, offering options for temperature and pressure monitoring. Custom engineering support is available to meet specific industrial requirements.
