Laboratory mixer and dryer for solids
In the context of developing new formulations or scaling up production processes, precise control of mixing and drying parameters is critical for achieving consistent and reproducible results. Especially in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and advanced materials sectors, maintaining product integrity during small batch production is crucial.
Mix and dry solids with precision
The SOLIDMIX laboratory mixer and dryer by EKATO is a versatile tool designed for the product development and scale-up of solids. Featuring a jacketed vessel for temperature control through liquid heat transfer mediums, the system ensures precise regulation of product conditions. The SOLIDMIX units are equipped with two types of impellers: the EKATO SOLIDS-PARAVISC for free-flowing bulk materials and the EKATO ISOPAS for pasty products. This adaptability allows the processing of a wide variety of materials within the same system. A baffle in combination with the special impeller design ensures efficient processing of even difficult pasty products. The automated lid lifting feature and inspection glass enhance ease of use and monitoring. The stainless steel mixing vessel includes a temperature sensor at the bottom for accurate temperature measurements. Discharge is managed through a ball segment valve, and a compact PLC control with a touch screen is housed in the control cabinet, which also supports the vessel. Additional options like vapor filters, hot water heaters, and vacuum units are available. EKATO’s laboratory in Schopfheim offers testing capabilities, and rental units are also available upon request.
