    Functionalities
  • Mixing powder(s) with powder(s)
  • Mixing liquid with powders
  • Wet agglomeration
  • Formation of porous granules

    Flexible mixing chamber - homogeneous mixing
    The Flexomix has a flexible mixing chamber made of elastomer. A shaft with pitch-adjustable mixing blades rotates at high velocities in the mixing chamber and creates a highly turbulent flow. Powders are introduced into the mixing chamber via the top inlet and liquids are injected using air atomizers. Due to the turbulence, the powdery and liquid particles are intensively mixed within a very short time (instant mixing).


    Degree of mixing intensity depends on the shaft speed and blade setting which are adjustable. The ratio liquid to powder is giving the agglomeration effect and powders will grow to form irregularly shaped, porous agglomerates with excellent properties as wettability and dispersibility.The Flexomix is a self cleaning unit without build up or deposit on the mixing chamber wall. A clean mixing chamber is insured even at high liquid loads.
