The Uses of Laboratory Mixers
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

Laboratory mixers are vital components for technological advancement, specifically in the areas of production of food, building materials like cement, pharmaceuticals, agro allied products and others. They generally serve in diverse functions, such as homogenizing, dissolving, emulsifying, and disintegrating.

Other common applications include granulation, heating and coating. In addition, a common (but changing) features of laboratory mixers is that they are driven by direct gear mechanisms, which can be easily controlled to reach certain speed or velocity.

This is usually done with a hand lever as the controlling device during operations. Some experts do prefer to call them blenders; however it is interesting to note that, apart from being used in diverse industries, they also come in different models, sizes, operational capacities and with different flexible features.

For example, certain mixers are designed to handle small volume of production, while acting support to larger production machines, different from mixing purposes. And, you can find such mixers in research and development (R&D), quality control, and for general laboratory works.

Types of laboratory mixers and their uses:

Other types and uses include mixers for coating and drying small quantities of tablets and spheroids in pharmaceutical and allied industries.

Some well known and proven models of mixers are Inline, batch, planetary, high shear, three roll laboratory mixers, and so on. For all types, grades and models of mixers, there are certain industrial terms and clichés common to them. There are terms like specifications, capacity, height an weight.

Within the specification range, other terms such as speed range, maximum torque, motor power shaft and diameter are approved standards. Speed means the variance of speed that laboratory mixer operates, and typically identified as revolutions per minute (rpm). Maximum torque means maximum force or origin of rotation momentum, and typically identifies as “Newton centimeters.”

Motor power means the energy and/or capacity level of motor that drive the laboratory mixer, and typically identified as horsepower (hp). Shaft diameter means the measurement of diameter of its shaft, and typically identified in “inches.” Capacity simply refers to capacity of the mixer’s tank. Height, on the other hand, is simply the height dimension in inches. And, weight refers to the mixers weight.

What are the advantages of laboratory mixers?

Laboratory mixers have several advantages, but of them is that they help to get rid of air, and also act as smoother to the finished products. Again, they give high gloss looking to products, like tablets manufactured in pharmaceutical companies. They are specially loved for churning out products homogeneously, at quicker rate.

Even the uses of laboratory mixers ensure that products can’t be contaminated, because they generally wont come with paint coats.
