As the latest developments show, reliability, flexibility, ease of use and safety are the watchwords for modern mixing systems. Sean Ottewell reports.

Uni tec is a newly developed, individually designed general-purpose mixer provided by MTI Mischtechnik for manually or fully automatically controlled preparation of bulk materials in the process industries.

Depending on its configuration, uses of the new mixer unit range from homogenising bulk stock of diverse material characteristics to performing complex processing cycles aimed at providing specific product properties.

The design criteria of the mixing vessel, mixing tool and optional chopper systems are variable over a very broad range.

As a result, the unit can be optimally adapted to specific application needs - from gentle homogenisation of the most sensitive starting materials to the pre-dispersion of, for example, cohesive pigments (Fig. 1).
