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
What vacuum level can a QuantumX mixer achieve?
The achievable level depends on vessel design, seals, connected equipment, vapor load and pump selection. The operating requirement must be defined in pressure units and at process temperature.
Can a vacuum mixer include heating or cooling?
Yes. Thermal surfaces, insulation, controls and condensation equipment are engineered around the fluid, temperature, pressure and code requirements.
Is a standard PerMix mixer suitable for vacuum?
No. Standard PerMix mixers are atmospheric and non-ASME. Vacuum applications are engineered under QuantumX.
