Process Engineering
Working Principle
- 1
The planetary gearbox drives agitator blades that revolve around the vessel center while simultaneously rotating on their own individual axes.
- 2
This dual-motion creates intense multi-directional shear and kneading action, ensuring uniform mixing and dispersion even for ultra-high viscosity materials.
- 3
The vacuum system removes entrained air and bubbles from the formulation, achieving -0.098 MPa for bubble-free products.
- 4
The jacketed vessel circulates heating or cooling fluid to maintain precise temperature control throughout the process.
- 5
After processing, the hydraulic press discharge system removes material from the vessel, enabling convenient collection of even the most viscous products.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mixing duties is the Laboratory Planetary Mixer 30L (PMX Series) designed for?
The Laboratory Planetary Mixer 30L (PMX Series) is built for Adhesives & Sealants, Battery Materials, Cosmetics. It is selected when the batch has to be blended homogeneously without the shear damage a disperser would cause.
What viscosity range can it handle?
It works up to up to over 1,000,000 cP. Product-contact parts are Stainless steel 304 / 316L.
How is mixing uniformity achieved?
The agitator geometry keeps the whole batch moving rather than only the zone around the shaft, so colour, filler and additive distribution stay consistent from batch to batch.
What capacity range is available?
Capacity is 30 L, with motor power 2. Vessel size is matched to the batch and the available floor space.
What discharge and cleaning options are available?
Bottom discharge, side discharge and hydraulic discharge arrangements are offered, with vacuum and jacket options where the formulation requires them.

What manufacturers say about working with POLYC MACHINE
These summaries reflect published application cases. Company names and roles are representative of the industries we serve.
“
The plaster and wall-material production line supplied by POLYC MACHINE integrated premixing, milling and transfer in one compact route. We reached consistent fineness across batches, and the local technical line made after-sales support responsive.
“
For our short gravure-ink runs, the small-batch grinding and dispersion route from POLYC MACHINE gave repeatable colour and fast changeover. The trial plan proposed before manufacture confirmed our fineness window without over-specifying the machine.
“
Our 1000L basket mill from POLYC MACHINE handles pigment and ink batches with the temperature control we needed for heat-sensitive formulations. Across multiple sites, the consistent basket-mill configuration simplified operator training and spare-parts planning.
