The foundation of every production process is laid in the R&D laboratory. When developing a new product or optimizing an existing formula, the quality of the equipment you use directly affects the success of the final product. At Kandemir Paslanmaz, our laboratory powder mixer models, designed specifically for the pharmaceutical, food, chemical and cosmetics industries, bring industrial precision to your small-scale trials.
Why Use a Laboratory Mixer?
Using large-capacity machines during the R&D stage both wastes raw materials and complicates cleaning. Benchtop or small-scale stainless steel mixers offer the following advantages:
- Rapid Prototyping: Reduces costs by running formula trials with small quantities.
- Easy Scale-Up: Makes it easier to transfer data obtained in the laboratory to series production.
- Maximum Hygiene: Easy-to-disassemble construction eliminates the risk of cross-contamination.
Laboratory Powder Mixer Models and Features
Every powder differs in flowability and friability. To meet these needs, we offer mixer solutions in four basic geometries:
1. Laboratory Cubic Mixers
The ideal solution for delicate, fragile powders. Their cubic body moves the product in every direction even at low speeds, achieving homogeneity without damaging the product's structure. They are especially favored in pharmaceutical R&D.
2. Laboratory V-Type Mixers
A world-class solution for free-flowing powders and granules. The V shape, formed where two cylindrical arms meet, continuously splits the product and brings it back together. It stands out with 100% discharge and an interior free of dead zones.
3. Laboratory Horizontal (Ribbon) Mixers
Suitable for denser or slightly moist powder blends. The helical ribbon agitator inside moves the product both left and right, achieving high homogeneity in a short time. It is widely used for powdered beverages, spices and chemical powder blends.
4. Laboratory Conical Mixers
Designed for laboratories that need maximum output in limited space. Its vertical design saves floor space and uses gravity to deliver fast mixing. In particular, it blends products with different particle sizes without segregation.
Technical Advantages of Kandemir Paslanmaz R&D Mixers
All the laboratory machines we manufacture come with the following features as standard:
- Speed Control (Inverter): Adjust the speed to suit the sensitivity of the product.
- Precision Timer: Control mixing times to the second.
- Mirror-Finish Interior: Smooth interior surfaces made of AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel for easy cleaning.
- Safety Sensors: Lid sensors and emergency stop systems that comply with occupational safety standards.
What to Consider When Choosing a Powder Mixer
To choose the right laboratory mixer, you need to answer the following questions:
- Product Volume: How many liters do your trials usually involve?
- Flowability: Is your powder sticky or free-flowing?
- Risk of Breakage: Do the powder particles need to stay intact during mixing?
Based on this information, the expert team at Kandemir Paslanmaz provides technical consulting to identify the model best suited to your project.
