Lab and Pilot-Scale Facilities for Materials and Modules Fabrication

The CycloMix is based on a unique mixing process combining a rotating motor and friction along the wall of the conical mixing vessel, making it ideal for powders and granules.

Key features:

• Suitable for a wide range of products, including cohesive materials with low specific weight and fine grains (< 75 μm)
• Equipped with a chiller to rapidly cool the container and control mixing temperature
• Capable of mixing pastes or ball-shaped viscous mixtures
• Temperature range: 5°C to 90°C
• Sample types: Powder, granule
• CycloMix capacity: 5 L
• Motor mixing speed: 120 - 2500 rpm

This system is perfect for mixing sensitive materials with precise control over temperature and mixing conditions.
