Application areas

Powder coatings

In powder coating production, it is essential to create a high-quality premix before extrusion. The bulk materials are mixed with low energy input while ensuring effective dispersion.

Minimal temperature increase – ideal for temperature-sensitive base materials
Excellent color development and pigment dispersion
Short cleaning times
Safe operation in compliance with ATEX regulations
Customizable batch sizes

Additive masterbatches

Additiv-Masterbatches werden unter anderem in der Kunststoffindustrie verwendet, um die Eigenschaften von Kunststoffen zu verbessern und ihnen spezielle Funktionen, wie UV-Schutz, Flammschutz, antimikrobielle Eigenschaften etc., zu verleihen. Durch das Vormischen mehrerer Zuschlagstoffe zu einer homogenen Mischung können Additive einfacher verwogen und dosiert werden.

Fast and effective homogenization
Short cleaning times
Safe operation in compliance with ATEX regulations
Customizable batch sizes

Product changeover: fast and efficient

Color masterbatches are used in the plastics industry to color plastics efficiently and uniformly. The premix can then be more easily weighed, dosed, and subsequently extruded. The conventional process, which involves long kneading and heating times as well as complex machinery, is optimized so that all components are mixed, homogenized, dispersed, and heated through friction – all in a single, time-efficient step.

Fast and effective homogenization
Excellent color development and pigment dispersion
Short cleaning times
Safe operation in compliance with ATEX regulations
Customizable batch sizes

Guaranteed optimal mixing results

The production of plastic components requires a variety of compounds. Depending on their specific application, plastic parts demand different compound properties. These customized mixtures are produced homogeneously and efficiently using our mixers.

Fast and effective homogenization
Short cleaning times
Safe operation in compliance with ATEX regulations
Customizable batch sizes

Product details

Ultrafast. Ultraclean.

The combination of a flat mixing head and lifting blade mixing tool reduces cleaning times by up to 80% compared to conventional container mixers. The reason: all areas of the mixer are easily accessible – without the need to dismantle the mixing tool or other components.

Better by design

Equipped with ATEX certification and monitored grounding, our container mixers are designed to handle the demands of dust-explosive materials. The CMQ not only ensures safety but also eliminates the need for inerting in nearly all applications. That means you can focus on what matters most: achieving optimal mixing results.

Product changeover: fast and efficient

Fast cleaning ensures ultra-short downtimes and boosts your productivity. At the same time, you remain flexible in batch size, as you can use different containers and filling volumes – tailored to your specific needs.

Guaranteed optimal mixing results

The patented mixing tool ensures strong color intensity through high dispersion. Its wing-shaped design with integrated winglets enables fast and effective homogenization – protecting your products while minimizing temperature increase to less than 2°C per minute.

CMQ: a clean solution through and through

During the mixing process, no dust, gases, or vapors escape – not even after the container is disconnected. This ensures a clean mixing environment while protecting plant personnel at the same time.

Automation

The foundation for safe processes is intelligent and straightforward automation. Our systems feature not only an integrated control cabinet and operator panel, but also our intuitive “NAMiQ” user interface based on Siemens TIA Portal, enabling safe and efficient operation. This is complemented by our proven recipe management system and remote maintenance capabilities.

Accessories and Options

Perfect Additions for Container Mixers

To ensure seamless integration and flexible use of our container mixer, we offer a range of accessories and options, including:

Discharge station

For complete and dust-free emptying of the container – optionally with automatic control of the container discharge flap, for example, for docking or inserting a pneumatic docking device, vacuum plate, and pneumatic discharge aid.

Container

Different containers with a single mixer size

Interchangeable container seal

With an interchangeable container seal, there is no need for a seal on the container itself. The seal is replaced during a recipe change, allowing the use of existing mixing containers without a seal on the CMQ (subject to prior technical verification).

Optional liquid addition unit

Liquid addition into the product stream during the mixing process

Safety fence

To protect against moving machine parts during the mixing cycle

Mover

Maneuvering aid for moving the container
