Instruction
Vacuum mixer is an instrument that dissolves, blends, homogenizes components thoroughly in a vacuum (and heating) condition with blades to produce a uniform mixture. Vacuum environment not only improves cleanliness but also prevents bubble formation during mixing process to improve both sample quality and stability. In addition, low pressure in the chamber drives dissolved gas from mixture due to pressure difference, achieving a result of bubbles elimination.
The pump selection varies depending on used solution (water or chemicals) and size of vacuum chamber (or mixing tank). The flow rate of pump is directly proportional to capacity of vacuum chamber; moreover, a pump with higher (deeper) vacuum should be chosen while viscous sample carries out.
Applications
- Cosmetic industry, such as mixing and degassing of lotion, pastes, etc.
- Medical and pharmaceutical industry, such as degassing of cream, gel and dental casts.
- Manufacturing industries, such as mixing of epoxy, molded composites, etc.
