The cube mixer is used to produce homogeneous solid-solid mixture. Mixing is a common process step in the manufacture of products for industries such as healthcare, food, chemical, cosmetics, detergents, fertilizers and plastics.
Blending is a process that can be carried out numerous times within a manufacturing process when new excipients need to be added to the blend.
The Mixing movement of the product in the mixer is deflected and interfered by three mixing rods made of stainless steel. The cube Mixer is a based on a movement, which through its tumbling effect produces in the shortest possible time a homogeneous mixture.
Blending of powders is a crucial step in the production of pharmaceutical solid dosage forms. The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is often a powder that is blended with other powders (excipients) in order to produce tablets. The blending efficiency is influenced by several external factors, such as the desired degree of homogeneity and the required blending time, which mainly depend on the properties of the blended materials and on the geometry of the blender.
