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
Why use more than one shaft?
Different tools solve different mixing tasks. A slow anchor can move the bulk product while a high-speed disperser or rotor-stator creates localized shear.
Can both shafts operate at the same time?
Yes, when the process requires it. Speeds and sequence are controlled independently.
When should the high-shear tool be inline instead?
Inline processing can improve recirculation, maintenance or scale-up; the decision depends on viscosity, flow and target particle or droplet size.
