EMT Extruder Mixer - Twin Screw
A low-cost alternative to conventional twin screw extruders used for powder inclusion, paste development and high pressure feeding, the EFT uses hygienic, self-wiping, closely-intermeshing, co-rotating screw (COSC) design with optional pressurisation stages for:
- A wide range of applications for powder addition combined with blending and pumping of viscous fluids
- Hygienic applications requiring simple, cleanable geometries with proven hygienic designs
- Shear-sensitive blending of delicate materials
- Addition of difficult, sticky or swelling powders that require self-wiping blending surfaces to avoid clogging
EPS Extruder Pump - Single Screw
A carefully-designed single screw extruder with spiral undercut features in the barrel provides positive feeding action and very high pressure capability for:
- Feeding high viscosity pastes into downstream process equipment at high pressure (e.g. for intensive mixing stages or for filling equipment)
- Extrusion of viscous and visco-elastic materials through dies, pelletizers, etc.
DCL Inline Low Shear Blender/Mixer
Using the principle of inter-cavity transfer to create an intensive blending action with extremely low shear and pressure drop, the DCL is ideal for::
- Effective blending of shear-sensitive liquids with widely-differing viscosities
- Blending of shear-sensitive solids into viscous liquids
- Reacting liquid components with viscous fluids
- Texturing and de-nerving high viscosity fluids and polymers
DCM Inline High Shear Mixer
A robust, general purpose shearing mixer that uses hydraulic action to deliver 20% higher performance than conventional high shear mixers for:
- Fast blending and powder dispersions
- Emulsification and intensive blending at micron scales
- Wide range of models for flowrates from lab-scale to 200 tonnes/hour
- Inline reaction of multiple input streams
- Easy integration into existing processes and plant
DCH Inline Super Speed Shear Mixer
A high performance variant of the DC mixer range running at speeds of up to 60,000 rpm to deliver sub-micron dispersing, deagglomeration and emulsification:
- Very fine powder dispersion and deagglomeration
- Emulsification, reacting and intensive blending at sub-micron scales
- Jacket option for product cooling
- High speed machine tool spindle drives for precision and reliability
UML Ultra Mixer - Low Speed
Combining the actions of inter-cavity transfer, extrusion and extensional stressing through internal nozzle stages, the UML provides adjustable, highly intensive stressing of viscous materials for:
- Effective dispersion of solids into highly viscous fluids
- Multi-stage compounding and reacting of polymers and similar fluids
- Texturing, structuring and conditioning of viscous fluids
UMH Ultra Mixer - High Speed
Extremely intensive rotational shear and extensional stress at very high rotational speeds in low to medium viscosity fluids for:
- Micro- and nano-particle dispersion
- Sub-micron emulsification
- High energy blending of multiple input streams
- Dilution of concentrates at high flowrates
