Laboratory mixer granulator

Achieve high-quality mixtures in R&D and small-batch production with versatile laboratory mixer granulators, designed to optimize processes such as mixing, coating, and granulation for precise development and testing of various formulations.

Mixes, Dryers, Coats, and Granulates Laboratory Samples

The L5, L10, L20, and L50 Ploughshare Mixers from Gebrüder Lödige Maschinenbau offer exceptional versatility for laboratory and product development applications. Utilizing a mechanically generated fluid bed, these mixers ensure thorough blending of powders, granules, and liquids, supporting processes like mixing, drying, and granulation. Suitable for industries from pharmaceuticals to food, the mixers are capable of generating homogeneous mixtures, making them ideal for creating products like tablet pre-mixes, mascara bases, and polymer granules.

Operating in batch mode, these units feature adjustable speed settings and optional choppers for enhanced mixing dynamics. Integration is seamless, thanks to manual control settings suited for research environments. With options for heating and cooling jackets and compliance with FDA materials standards, these mixers are designed for precise control over product quality. Each system supports CIP cleaning, facilitating easy maintenance and ensuring hygienic operation. For customized needs, the mixing tools and drum sizes are exchangeable, offering tailored solutions for specific process requirements.
