Lab mixer for powder formulations
Achieve precise particle mixing and coating with this stand-alone high-shear lab mixer, designed for versatile powder formulation processes, from blending delicate DPI formulations to densifying cosmetic powders.
Mixes, Blends, and Densifies Powder Formulations
The Mini Cyclomix from Hosokawa Micron is a versatile high shear lab mixer designed for precise powder processing across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. Utilizing a combined impact and shear mixing principle, the Mini Cyclomix handles a range of processes including blending, coating, and densification. With exchangeable product bowls of 0.1, 1, or 2 liters, it offers flexible batch processing. This mixer excels in creating uniform dispersions and managing particle size, making it ideal for applications like DPI formulations and cosmetic powders. Its design includes jacketed vessels for accurate temperature control and a central bottom discharge valve for complete, contamination-free discharge. Compliant with CIP/SIP for sterile applications, the Mini Cyclomix integrates smoothly into laboratory settings, supporting prototype development and small-scale production.
