Laboratory scale powder/liquid mixer
Easily integrate powders into complex liquid formulations at a laboratory scale, ensuring rapid, consistent, and homogeneous mixtures across a range of viscosities, perfect for R&D and small-scale production environments.
Mixes and Hydrates Powders with Liquids
The FMX5 Laboratory Scale Powder/Liquid Mixer from Silverson Machines offers a sophisticated solution for achieving precise and consistent powder-liquid mixtures. This laboratory-scale mixer emulates the performance of larger Flashmix systems, making it ideal for R&D and small-scale production needs. It incorporates powders into liquids with high efficiency using a Flashmix-style pumping rotor, resulting in a homogeneous, agglomerate-free product.
Suitable for a diverse range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and cosmetics, the FMX5 excels in applications such as forming CMC solutions, protein shakes, and pharmaceutical suspensions. With a processing capacity accommodating batch sizes up to 10 liters, this mixer is powerful yet compact.
Equipped with a 1 hp (0.75kW) motor and variable speed control, the FMX5 ensures effective mixing even at higher viscosities. All wetted components are constructed from 316L stainless steel, ensuring durability and chemical compatibility. Designed for ease of use, it features a touchpad control panel with a digital tachometer and a programmable timer.
The FMX5 meets clean-in-place (CIP) standards, facilitating effortless maintenance and minimizing downtime. Its modular design allows for customizable rotor/stator setups and hopper types, providing flexibility to meet specific process requirements. Whether you’re creating product samples or refining formulations, the FMX5 streamlines your mixing processes with precision and reliability.
