Gels mixing Equipment

Industrial mixing equipment is used to combine two or more solid, liquid or gaseous segregated ingredients into a homogenous single product. The choice of mixing technology depends largely on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired final product. But the sensitivity of the ingredients, the process temperature, and pressure requirements are also critical factors. All these parameters result in a wide range of industrial mixers.

Mixing

The easiest and most commonly used method of making gels is mixing gelling agents with water to form a weakly cohesive internal structure. The gel production process is pretty linear and straightforward, from mixing hydrocolloids and water to labeling and sealing containers.

Producers in a wide variety of industries benefit from equipment that can continuously create highly accurate homogeneous mixtures of liquid and solid ingredients.  The use of a continuous process requires less floor space for storage and greatly reduces production times.  Closed systems eliminate the creation of dust thereby enhancing safety and efficiency.  Equipment that offers all these characteristics will give its users an edge over the competition.
<h2>Continuous dispersion of solids into liquids without the generation of dust</h2>
IKA's mixing Plant MHD includes a mixing machine, metering units, an electrical control system, and peripheral equipment which is customized to meet the customer's facility and process needs.  The Plant MHD is a homogenizing system that allows the dust-free mixing of liquids and solid granules or powders in a continuous process.  The ingredients are continuously fed into the plant's working chamber in the precisely controlled ratios required by the final product, where they are mixed and then dispersed.  In this way, a ready-to-use final product is produced in just one pass.

The units can handle mixtures of up to 80% solid content and viscosities of up to 50.000 mPas.  Since the only agitation of the solid occurs within the machines working chamber after the liquid components have been introduced, no dust is generated.  A wide variety of solid feeding systems is available and IKA can help select the process that is best suited to your needs.  The Plant MHD unit is available with capacities from 200 to 40.000 liters per hour.

Dust-free continuous homogenizing system

Onsite dilution of liquid process ingredients has historically been associated with several issues that limit its economic benefits.  Manufacturers need equipment that can easily dilute liquids with a wide variety of characteristics while avoiding many of the common issues.  They need a quick process, a small required equipment foot print, and a resultant mix that is homogeneous and free of air.
<h2>Rapid, accurate closed system dilution</h2>
IKA's DPV Dilution Plant is a completely closed dilution system for combining two or more liquids in a controlled proportion.  The closed system eliminates the need for large storage and mixing vessels common to traditional dilution methods and also eliminates the introduction of air and resultant generation of foam.  Inputs with a wide range of viscosities and concentrations are easily processed.

The core of the unit is a single stage in-line dispersing unit and metered pumps specially designed for high accuracy delivery.  A full array of sensors and feedback is also available and optionally utilized for automation of the system.  The components to be mixed are only in contact with each-other immediately before dispersion which avoids any unwanted reactions or lump-formation.  Capacities are available from 3.000 to 15.000 liters per hour.

In-line laboratory dispersing machine

Laboratory mixers have not always been easy to work with.  Getting all the product out of the mixing vessel, and mixing small batches were not as easy as they should be and mixing processes in general were often ineffective or too slow when powders and slightly more viscous fluids were involved.  Innovators need equipment designed for laboratory scale use that addresses these previously common issues.
<h2>Easy to use, effective mixing for the laboratory</h2>
The Magic PLANT series from IKA is a laboratory dispersing machine designed to address many of the issues and difficulties previously associated with mixers of this size.  Where historically it was sometimes difficult to remove all of a product from the mixing vessel, the Magic PLANT includes both a discharge valve at the bottom of the vessel and the ability to completely tilt the vessel to pour out its contents.

Where the processing of very small batches with traditional laboratory equipment was difficult or impossible, the Magic Plant's mixing vessel has a conical bottom allowing small batches to be mixed as effectively as large ones.  And where mixes involving powdered ingredients with a wide range of bulk densities were difficult or slow to form into homogeneous mixtures, Magic PLANT can be tilted while mixing to better engage all powders with the stirrer and a specialized spiral shaped stirrer is included.  Variants are available that are best suited for, batch, inline, or powder processing operations.  For all variants the intensity of the mixing and dispersing effect is adjustable and the overall design is modular allowing easy integration with other laboratory equipment.

Laboratory dispersing machine for low-viscous masses

Processes including homogenization, dispersing, suspension, emulsification and dissolving benefit with the addition of a dispersing rotor/stator system to the functionality of traditional overhead stirring equipment.  With traditional equipment, achieving desired results in high viscosity media is often difficult and slow and issues such as sediment formation and air inclusions are common.  Adding a high speed rotor and jet pipe in close proximity to the mixing vane greatly enhances the process and helps avoid many of these issues.
<h2>Fast and efficient agitation of highly viscous fluids</h2>
IKA's Rototron RTS is a line of agitators that uses jet-flow technology to speed mixing processes while avoiding many of the issues seen when more traditional equipment is used.  The jet flow agitators use a high speed rotor and jet pipe in close proximity to the mixing vanes to disperse and circulate products within a vessel while avoiding inefficiency caused by back flow, air inclusions caused by a static whirlpool effect, and the need for flow breakers caused by continuously rotating mixtures.  The circulation mechanism also avoids the common issue of sediment formation when being used to produce emulsions.  The units can be used with open and pressurized vessels and mounting options exist to accommodate a wide variety of vessels and configurations.  With this equipment, no seal material makes contact with the product and food or pharmaceutical grade versions are readily available.  Motor sizes are available from 2,2 to 15 kW with max batch sizes from 1.000 to 20.000 liters.
