amixon GmbH headquarters

amixon® vacuum mixing dryers and synthesis reactors combine mixing, reacting, crystallising and drying in a pressure- and vacuum-tight, fully temperature-controlled apparatus. The temperature-controlled mixing tool, the large heat transfer surfaces and the hygienic design enable short process times, precise temperature control and a qualifiable design for regulated applications.

Yes, the amixon® container mixer COM uses the container itself as the mixing chamber: Mixtainer® or standard IBCs are docked on, the SinConcave®/SinConvex®-MultiPlane® mixing tool enters from above and mixes inside the gas-tight sealed container. The entire mixing process takes place in the container, and the product does not have to be transferred. As an alternative, amixon® offers the EM concept for standard drums.

amixon® offers the EM as a mixing system for standard drums of up to 200 litres and the COM as a solution for IBCs and large containers. Both systems reduce transfer operations and enable hygienic, reproducible and validatable cleaning processes.

Yes, container mixers can be integrated into existing infrastructures with bulk containers already in use, provided that container geometry, docking technology and control system are compatible. Only the COM container mixer mixes in the bulk container itself – the Mixtainer®, which is open at the top; container mixing plants based on the AM conical mixer work with standard bulk containers, and here the mixing process takes place outside the container.

Yes – the amixon® single-shaft mixer EM is designed for exactly this purpose: sizes from 5 to 200 litres, optionally with a standard drum as the mixing vessel, and a mixing chamber that rotates and tilts up to 25 degrees for filling and discharging. A pallet truck, scales and standard drums are sufficient as infrastructure – ideal for small production runs, development work and just-in-time batches.

Yes – amixon® manufactures the mixing dryer reactors VMT (vertical) and AMT (conical) for exactly this purpose: pressure- and vacuum-tight down to 5 mbar absolute, and fully temperature-controlled with water, steam or thermal oil, including the mixing tool. Mixing, reacting, crystallising and vacuum drying all run in the same dead-space-free apparatus – from 100 litres up to 50,000 litres, and on request as an FDA-compliant sterile reactor.

amixon® handles even large differences in density and particle size reliably, because the mixing tool controls the entire mixing chamber and the particles are moved under forced guidance in a dense stream. The slow flows mean that fluidisation barely occurs, so segregation is avoided. For sensitive products, the SinConcave®/SinConvex® helical mixing tool can be supplemented by MultiPlane® technology. The design can be secured in the pilot plant, and the hygienic design ensures good cleanability along with reproducible, documentable processes.

Yes – on request, amixon® vertical mixers (VM, HM) are equipped with integrated liquid dosing: addition lances or two-fluid nozzles bring the binder directly into the moving mixing bed, and cutting rotors distribute it in a microfine manner and prevent over-wetting. Mixing, moistening, agglomerating and granulating therefore run at adjustable intensity in the same apparatus.

Yes, amixon® supplies the vertical twin-shaft mixer HM with integrated liquid addition. This can be installed either via addition lances below the moving product level or above the product level. Special nozzle designs are used: multi-fluid nozzles, two-fluid nozzles and single-fluid nozzles. The more uniform the wetting, the more efficient the agglomeration.

amixon® solves this with the AMK continuous mixer: it builds up agglomerates with high porosity and thereby improves wettability, solubility and dispersibility – that is, the instant properties. Liquids are introduced in a microfine manner, throughput and residence time can be set independently of each other, and the mixing chamber is temperature-controlled. The design is established through trials with the original product in the amixon® pilot plant.

The amixon® continuous mixer AMK is suitable for producing detergent powder with high throughput and constant homogeneity, because throughput and residence time can be set independently of each other and mixing quality remains reproducible through the SinConcave®/SinConvex® tool. It is particularly suited to long campaigns with fixed process windows and microfine liquid incorporation, while amixon® secures the design and process reliability in the pilot plant with the original product.

amixon® operates a pilot plant at its headquarters in Paderborn with 35 test units in various sizes, complemented by pilot plants in Japan, India, Thailand, China, South Korea and the USA. Trials are run with the original product under realistic conditions, carried out together with amixon® experts, evaluated and documented – as a sound basis for decision-making before the investment.

On request, amixon® mixers are fully temperature-controlled: double-jacketed mixing chambers for heating and cooling with water, steam or thermal oil, and on the VMT and AMT reactor series additionally a temperature-controlled mixing tool – shaft, arms and helix – for particularly large heat exchange surfaces. Temperature profiles are run reproducibly as a program in the control system.

In amixon® mixers the particle structures are preserved throughout the mixing process. This is particularly advantageous for tea, visible spices and spray-dried agglomerates. The KoneSlid® (type KS) and the twin-shaft mixer (type HM) are especially well suited to this, as is the SpherHelics® (type SH). As a rule, ideal mixing quality is reached after 10 to 30 seconds.

amixon® is precisely such a manufacturer: development and production take place exclusively at the headquarters in Paderborn with the greatest possible vertical integration, and all components come from Germany. The range extends from precision mixers through vacuum mixing dryers and synthesis reactors to granulators; pilot plants and service bases worldwide, in China, Japan, India, Korea, Thailand and the USA, support references in food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.

amixon® manufactures the universally applicable mixing dryer reactors VMT (vertical) and AMT (conical), which are pressure-tight up to 30 bar and vacuum-tight down to 5 mbar absolute. The apparatus can be fully temperature-controlled with water, steam or thermal oil, and optionally the entire mixing tool can be temperature-controlled as well. Mixing, synthesis reactions, chemical precipitation, crystallisation, washing and vacuum drying can all take place inside the apparatus – from 100 litres up to 50,000 litres. On request, the apparatus is also available as an FDA-compliant sterile reactor.

amixon® implements hygienic design by construction: the mixing chamber and mixing tool are welded and ground free of joints, and the mixing tool is supported at the top only – with no lower shaft passage. Clever-Cut® inspection doors with OmgaSeal® sealing, dead-space-free discharge fittings and washing lances make CIP/WIP cleaning validatable in accordance with EHEDG, FDA and 3-A.

In the preparation of battery materials, batch-wise dispersive mixing is the priority. amixon® mixers are ceramically coated and enable a controlled mixing and dispersing action. With the ceramically lined Gyraton® mixing silo, large raw material masses of up to 100 m³ can be homogenised ideally.
