Inline solid-liquid mixer for chemicals and paints
Incorporating solids into liquids is a critical process in producing paints, coatings, and battery components. But this step raises serious emissions concerns. Pumping the materials from one mixing vessel to the next promotes the release of dust particles and solvents into the air.
Fully enclosed batch mixing system for paints and coatings
The CMX 2000 inline mixer from IKA incorporates powders into liquids in an enclosed and complete system. Featuring a dosing feeder for solids and recirculation technology, the solution limits the mixing process to one machine and reduces the potential for emissions.
The multi-level pump is designed to keep high-viscosity materials flowing without leaving deposits in the mixing container. The chemicals are recirculated to ensure consistent blending and prevent the formation of agglomerates in the final mix.
Solid may be fed with a bulk bag unloader, a hopper, sack-emptying boxes, or directly from the bag with a suction lance. The CMX 2000 is available for batch sizes between 2 and 5.000 liters.
