MIXING APPLICATIONS

Chemicals

Suspending of Solids​

FUNDAMIX® Vibro-mixers provide efficient, uniform suspension of solids in liquid media, ensuring even particle distribution without vortex formation or dead zones. This is particularly important in processes involving slurries or crystallization where sedimentation or uneven dispersion can lead to quality and yield issues. By maintaining consistent suspension, FUNDAMIX® supports reliable processing and improved downstream separation or reaction performance.​

Catalysts, Activated Carbon or Bentonite in Liquids​

​Processes involving the dispersion of solid agents such as catalysts, activated carbon, or bentonite require thorough and stable mixing to maximize contact surface and reactivity. FUNDAMIX® facilitates consistent dispersion and suspension of these functional solids, ensuring efficient adsorption or reaction processes. After treatment, these agents can be easily removed thanks to the system’s ability to maintain homogeneous suspension without damaging the media.​

Dissolution of Flavors and Fragrances​

​Mixing delicate flavor and fragrance compounds requires both precision and control to ensure complete dissolution without degrading volatile components. FUNDAMIX® ensures uniform mixing across the vessel, enabling full solubilization of active ingredients while preserving their integrity. Its gentle but effective motion prevents hotspots and ensures reproducible product quality for high-value formulations.​

Precipitation or Crystallization of Solids During Neutralization​

In chemical neutralization steps where precipitation or crystallization occurs, FUNDAMIX® ensures uniform mixing of reagents and controlled growth of solid particles. This results in predictable crystal morphology and particle size distribution, improving filtration, drying, and product quality. The system’s vibration-based agitation supports smooth, scalable operation from laboratory to production scale.​

Gas/Liquid Batch Reactions like Hydrogenations and Chlorinations​

Gas-liquid batch processes such as hydrogenation or chlorination demand high mixing efficiency to promote mass transfer while controlling gas dispersion. FUNDAMIX® offers excellent gas-liquid contact by distributing gas bubbles evenly throughout the liquid phase, without causing foaming or excessive turbulence. Its closed design and controllable parameters make it ideal for safe handling of reactive gases in both small and large vessels.​

Metal Leaching​

In metal extraction and recovery applications, effective leaching depends on sustained interaction between the lixiviant and metal-containing solids. FUNDAMIX® keeps particles uniformly suspended, ensuring maximum exposure to the leaching solution. Its non-rotating mixing design minimizes equipment wear and allows for enclosed operation in corrosive or hazardous environments, improving both safety and efficiency.​
