Vacuum processing units for lab scale applications
Optimize the development and scaling of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products with versatile vacuum processing units, designed to streamline mixing, homogenization, and cleaning processes efficiently on a laboratory scale.
Mixes and Homogenizes Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Products
The UNIMIX LM and SRT series from EKATO provide tailored solutions for R&D in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors, designed specifically for lab and pilot plant settings. These vacuum processing mixers stand out for their dual functionality in mixing and homogenization, utilizing an integrated homogenizer that doubles as a cleaning pump. This efficient system facilitates the development of products such as creams, lotions, and gels by allowing easy scale-up from small batches. Available in various capacities ranging from 3 to 70 liters, the equipment is designed for flexibility, enabling precise control over speed, temperature, and pressure. Constructed with high-grade stainless steel, the units ensure robust corrosion resistance and longevity. They’re compliant with GMP standards, ensuring safety and quality in pharmaceutical applications. Designed for easy integration within existing process lines, the mixers feature PLC control for seamless operation. Additionally, the equipment is available for rental and testing at EKATO’s facility in Schopfheim, Germany, offering a reliable scale-up pathway for developing new formulations.
