Sanitary design, containment, ATEX, ASME and documentation.
How we engineer the solution
From Process Data to Production Equipment
1. Define the Material
Characterize physical properties and process behavior.
2. Select the Mixing Action
Choose the appropriate agitator, vessel and energy input.
3. Validate the Process
Use calculations, experience and testing where needed.
4. Integrate the System
Controls, feeding, discharge, utilities and documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Engineering FAQ
Does an ATEX motor make the entire mixer ATEX compliant?
No. The complete equipment assembly, mechanical ignition risks, instruments, controls and operating environment must be evaluated.
What hazard data is required?
Provide the formal area classification and relevant material data such as gas or dust group, temperature class, MIE, Kst and Pmax where applicable.
Can an ATEX mixer also be vacuum rated?
Yes, but vacuum design, hazardous-area execution, inerting and vapor handling must be engineered together.
