Vrieco-Nauta Cyclomix

The Cyclomix is a revolutionary new high speed intensive mixer that applies high shear and impact forces to materials resulting in the efficient mixing of many powders, pastes and liquids with different characteristics.

The mixing vessel is conical shaped and has a center rotor which rotates at a speed of up to 30m/s. The speed of the rotor creates centrifugal forces and pushes the product to the vessel wall. The shape of the vessel forces the upward movement of the product. The cover part guides the products towards the center of the mixer.

The Hosokawa Cyclomix offers:

  • High energy input
  • High degree of dispersion and homogeneity
  • Ultra short cycle time

Temperature Control: Intensive / high energy mixing results in a temperature rise of the product to be mixed. For some applications, you can make use of this phenomena and it can agglomerate your product. For temperature sensitive products though, it can be difficult so it is of vital importance to control product temperature. The Cyclomix guarantees optimal temperature control at the spots where heat is generated, specifically, "between the rotor tip and the vessel wall." The jacketed vessel, cover and outlet valve enable you to control and manipulate your product temperature in an accurate and reliable way. The Cyclomix is the best choice for intensive mixing of heat sensitive products.

Features:

  • Conical shape provides easy discharge and cleaning
  • No bearings or seals in the product zone
  • High level of temperature control
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications
  • Can be used for coating or mixing applications

In high intensity mixing applications temperature control is crucial. This is especially true in pharmaceutical applications where heat sensitive materials, such as proteins, are being blended. For this reason the vessel wall is jacketed to insure excellent heat transfer between the paddles and wall.

Applications:

  • Coating of carrier particles with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
  • Complete homogenizing even with a low percent of APIs in the recipe
  • Thorough mixing of pastes and cohesive materials
