At the amixon® Test Center, process technology comes to life. This is where solutions for complex mixing, drying and reaction processes are developed – practical, precise and scalable. Since 2023, the Test Center has been equipped with state-of-the-art systems for vacuum, pressure and high-temperature processes, enabling trials at temperatures up to 350 °C, pressures up to 25 bar, and vacuum levels below 10 mbar abs.
At the heart of the facility are the VMT vacuum mixing dryers and reactors as well as the AMT conical mixing dryers and reactors. Both designs are fully heatable, vacuum- and pressure-tight, and ideally suited for mixing, drying and reacting powders, suspensions and pasty products.
The VMT features a helical mixing tool that generates a three-dimensional flow pattern within the product. This ensures fast, uniform and gentle drying under vacuum. The unit can also be operated as a sterile or synthesis reactor and meets hygienic design standards in accordance with EHEDG, with options for 3-A, FDA, GMP and ASME compliance.
The AMT is equipped with a conical vessel and a heatable screw-type mixing tool. The material is continuously moved upward along the periphery and downward in the center. This flow pattern enables efficient heat transfer and nearly complete discharge of free-flowing products.
In the Test Center, amixon® supports its customers in the development and design of industrial drying processes. Trial results provide reliable data on fill level, temperature, pressure and mixing time – forming a solid basis for safe and efficient scale-up.
Conclusion: The amixon® Test Center combines research, testing and application. It provides a foundation for reliable process solutions that ensure high product quality, efficiency and sustainability. Schedule your trial and experience applied process technology in Paderborn.
