Description
The PMX series Vacuum Double Planetary Mixer is an advanced laboratory and pilot-scale compounding system engineered for processing ultra-high viscosity pastes, non-flowing gels, and heavy slurries ranging from 0 to 1,500,000 cps. Featuring planetary motion where agitator blades revolve around the vessel center while simultaneously rotating on their own individual axes, it creates intense multi-directional shear and kneading action that ensures uniform mixing even for the most challenging materials.
Planetary Dual-Motion Kneading: The agitator blades revolve around the vessel center while simultaneously rotating on their own axes, creating intense multi-directional shear and kneading action. This dual-motion ensures uniform mixing and dispersion even for ultra-high viscosity materials that conventional mixers cannot process effectively.
High Vacuum Degassing: The vacuum system achieves -0.098 MPa, effectively eliminating entrained air and bubbles from high-viscosity formulations. This is critical for producing bubble-free products such as adhesives, sealants, and electronic materials.
Precise Temperature Control: The jacketed vessel provides precise temperature control with +/-1 degree C accuracy up to 220C, enabling processing of temperature-sensitive materials and facilitating reactions that require specific temperature profiles.
Versatile Agitator Geometries: Multiple agitator configurations are available including twist blades, anchor blades, and dispersing discs, allowing optimization for different material characteristics and processing requirements.
Flexible Hydraulic Discharge: Equipped with a pressing machine for discharging material out of the vessel, the hydraulic press discharge system enables convenient removal of even the most viscous materials after testing or small-batch production.
Scalable Capacity Range: Available in 1L, 2L, 5L, 10L, 20L, and 30L laboratory configurations, with larger pilot and production models up to 1,000L available. This scalability enables seamless scale-up from laboratory formulation development to full production.
Product Overview & Key Features:

Equipment Selection
Select capacity based on formulation batch size: laboratory models (1-30L) for R&D and formulation development, pilot models (100-200L) for scale-up testing, production models (500-1,000L) for manufacturing.
Evaluate material viscosity: the planetary mixer handles materials from 0 to 1,500,000 cps, making it suitable for even the most challenging high-viscosity formulations.
Determine whether vacuum degassing is required: the -0.098 MPa vacuum system is critical for bubble-free products such as adhesives, sealants, and electronic materials.
Consider temperature requirements: the jacketed vessel provides precise control up to 220C with +/-1C accuracy for temperature-sensitive materials and reactions.
Select appropriate agitator geometry (twist blades, anchor blades, dispersing discs) based on material characteristics and processing requirements.
Confirm discharge method: hydraulic press discharge is standard for convenient removal of high-viscosity materials after testing.
