Hollow sphere mixer for bulk materials: SpherHelics®
The ball mixers and hollow ball mixers from amixon® carry the SpherHelics® brand. In the hollow ball mixer from amixon®, the mixing shaft rotates around a vertical or inclined axis. More than 30 different amixon® mixers are available for testing in the technical centre. All mixers achieve the highest mixing quality.
amixon® helps with the dimensioning of large vacuum mixer dryer systems
Successful tests in the pilot plant are the basic prerequisite for a well-functioning vacuum drying process. Thermodynamic calculations enable a safe scale-up of drying plants that are many times larger than the test plant. amixon® has 4 test plants (200 liters) in Paderborn. amixon® can safely design large dryers that are,…
Lithium-ion batteries: Recycling valuable materials
The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries and the scarcity of the required raw materials call for action: Future lithium-ion batteries must be recyclable. The recycling process must be more efficient than primary extraction. amixon® makes two contributions to this: Thermal separation and homogenisation.
Nutrient substrates for mushroom cultivation: Sterilise and "inoculate"
The cultivation of noble mushrooms is demanding and risky. It is particularly important to protect the nutrient substrates from foreign spores. In this blog post, amixon® shows how culture media can be economically sterilised and "inoculated".
amixon® large-scale mixers for baby food ensure the highest quality standards. Particle structures remain intact. - Part 1
Baby food: All ingredients must be present in the correct proportions. This is checked during production. amixon® mixers offer certainty. Each batch is mixed optimally, gently and precisely. A single analytical sample and a single retention sample are sufficient, regardless of whether the amixon® mixer is handling batches…
Mixing silo achieves optimum mixing qualities
We refer to the precision mixing of dispersed solids when, at a component concentration of up to 1:100,000, the coefficient of variation of the mixing quality is reproducibly less than 5%.
Such precision mixers are available from many different manufacturers in a wide variety of designs. Some mixers have horizontally…
CO2 Footprint and global warming
The preservation of an intact environment and the human desire for wealth and luxury are difficult to reconcile. Almost every business model that is geared towards acquisition has a negative impact on the environment. The more people live on the earth, the more noticeable the imbalance becomes. Ultimately, the earth does…
