Container Mixer CMQ

Container mixer CMQ

significantly increases your process productivity

Product changeover: fast and efficient

The innovative mixing concept of the CMQ container mixer significantly increases your process productivity. It not only enables more efficient operations, but also delivers exceptionally high-quality, deviation-free mixing results. Whether you are processing powder coatings, masterbatches, color concentrates, or compounds – the CMQ optimizes your mixing process. It is the first choice for frequent product changeovers, especially due to its cleaning-optimized design, which effectively prevents cross-contamination.

Advantages of the CMQ container mixer:

Innovative and patented lifting blade mixing tool* EP 3 342 480 B1
Maximum flexibility
Designed for minimal cleaning effort
Self-centering container
Optional automatic container grounding
Certified model variant available

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 wing profile 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.

Engineered for safety

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 airfoil shaped mixing arms with winglets enable fast and effective homogenization – protecting your products while minimizing temperature increase to less than 2 °C per minute.

CMQ: Because cleanliness matters

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 user friendly "NAMiQ" user interface based on Siemens TIA Portal with a proven recipe management system and remote maintenance capabilities enables a safe and efficient production. The integrated control cabinet and operator panel for quick and easy installation and commissioning.

Batch sizes

To suit your specific application, we offer the container mixer CMQ in various batch sizes. The following specifications apply to all batch sizes:

Mixing time: 3–5 minutes
Mixing tool speed: up to 15 m/s

Size	Net volume in l	Batch weight in kg
150	120	35-70
300	240	65-135
450	360	100-200
600	480	135-270
1000	800	225-450
1200	960	270-450
2000	1600	450-900

Assuming an average bulk density ρb = 0.6 kg/l

Accessories and Options

Perfect Additions for your container mixer CMQ

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

Discharge station

Discharge station for retracting or positioning the container for complete and dust-free emptying. With elastic seal for dust-free connection of discharge flap and downpipe as well as a pneumatic discharge aid for complete emptying. Many options available, such as pneumatic rotary drive, fill level indicator on the downpipe or separate control unit.

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
