EKATO
Laboratory Mixer & Dryer for Solids – SOLIDMIX
Ideal for Drying and Mixing Trials and Small Batch Production
The vertical solids dryer and mixer series (EKATO SOLIDMIX) has been designed for scale-up and product development (formulation purposes). Furthermore these units are suitable for production of small batch sizes.
The base model consists of a jacketed vessel for cooling/heating, designed for liquid heat transfer mediums for temperature control. The use of different EKATO impellers allows testing of multiple applications. Both the EKATO Solids-PARAVISC impeller for free-flowing solids (product series SOLIDMIX VSM/VST) and the EKATO ISOPAS impeller for pasty products are available (product series SOLIDMIX VPM/VPT) in the laboratory units. Due to the special impeller design and combination with a baffle, difficult pasty products can be processed without problems. The automated lid lifting feature allows an easy movement of the impeller. The process operations inside the vessel can be viewed via the inspection glass in the lid. The mixing vessel, made of stainless steel, has a temperature sensor located at the vessel bottom for measuring product temperature. At the lowest point is the discharge opening, which is closed with a ball segment valve. The control cabinet, which also serves as support for the vessel, houses a compact PLC control with touch screen. Many other options are available on request such as vapor filters, hot water heaters, vacuum units, etc. The SOLIDMIX laboratory mixers and dryers can be tested in the EKATO SYSTEMS laboratory in Schopfheim and are also available as renting machines if required.
