Laboratory mixers for product development and research
Optimize your R&D efforts with advanced mixing solutions designed for precise control and flexibility, essential for developing innovative formulations and achieving your product’s desired consistency and performance.
Mixes, Blends, and Kneads Diverse Material Types
The Laboratory Mixers from Winkworth Machinery are versatile tools for research and development across various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. These mixers stand out for their ability to precisely mix, blend, and knead up to 18 liters of materials, using technologies like ribbon blending, Z blade kneading, and rapid turbulent mixing. Ideal for producing small-batch samples, they cater to products ranging from biscuit dough and hot melt adhesives to ceramic tiles and medical ointments. The mixers offer variable speed controls and can be integrated with PLC systems for enhanced automation and data logging. Designed with hygienic, easy-clean features, they allow quick vessel changeovers, minimizing downtime. Customization options include heating/cooling jackets and vacuum systems, ensuring they meet specific process requirements. Made from durable materials, these mixers support both bench-top and pilot operations and conform to industry standards, providing reliable, repeatable results essential for product development.
