amixon® matches process time, mixing intensity and tool geometry through the choice of mixer type. The twin-shaft mixer, for example, delivers short, highly efficient processes with accompanying deagglomeration. Its two helical mixing tools generate flows with thrust reversal that convey the product upwards. Gravity produces the downward flow and a random particle orientation – even with needle-shaped ceramic particles. amixon® mixers perform equally well at variable fill levels. For highly abrasive or nanoceramic powders, amixon® additionally uses wear-resistant ceramic coatings.

With the amixon® container mixer COM the container itself is the mixing chamber: Mixtainer® or standard IBCs are docked on, the SinConcave®/SinConvex®-MultiPlane® mixing tool enters from above, mixes inside the gas-tight sealed container to precision quality of up to 1:100,000 and then screws itself back out in reverse – without transferring the product, in sizes from 100 to 4,000 litres.

On request, amixon® meets all relevant standards: EHEDG, FDA hygiene guidelines, 3-A Sanitary Standards, USDA, GMP and ATEX; pressure vessels also to ASME. Every mixer is a one-off built to the URS – amixon® assists on request with DQ, IQ and OQ with documentation in accordance with EU GMP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

amixon® manufactures all product-contact surfaces welded and ground free of joints – on request up to highly polished, GMP-compliant surface finishes. The range of materials extends from austenitic stainless steels (1.4301 to 1.4539) through duplex steels to Alloy 59, Hastelloy-C22 and nickel for corrosive products.

amixon® offers container mixers for mixing directly in the container, so that filling, mixing and discharging are possible without transferring the product. In addition, there are units that work with commercially available standard containers and can therefore be integrated into existing production sequences with particular flexibility and low dust.
