EKATO SYSTEMS GmbH

The standardized series of UNIMIX mixers type SRT has been designed for product and process develeopment (scale-up), primarily for cosmetic and pharmaceutic applications but may also be used as production unit for small batches.

Features:

• from 15 l to 70 l

• according to cGMP regulations

• mobile and stationary execution available

• vacuum/pressure tight

• heating/cooling system

• PARAVISC (EKATO Patent) agitator system with wallscrapers (other agitators are available)

• the patented UNIMIX homogenizer S-JET, at lowest point in vessel for internal/external homogenization

• CIP-system integrated

• vacuum system

• electrical heating/cooling system as well as vacuum system built-in

• main and control panel directly incorporated (data registration available

• Versatile mixer for the production of creams, ointments, emulsions, toothpaste, mascara, etc.

• Industries: cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, foods

• The UNIMIX system: patented PARAVISC impeller with homogenizer S-JET or S-JET/V

• Homogenizer positioned vertically, directly at the lowest point in the vessel

• Mixing plants from 3 - 10,000 liter

The models of the UNIMIX SRC series are most frequently sold units in the complete range due to their versatility.

Widely used in the pharmaceutic, cosmetic and partly in the food and chemical industry based on the following advantages:

• Easily accessible, also inside the vessel, and very good inspectability

• Scrapers can easily be exchanged

• Product residues can easily be scraped off when lid with agitator is in raised position

• In case of limited room heights it will be possible to restrict lifting height so that the lid will be opened only within the existing ceiling height.

Features:

• From 100 l to 4,000 l

• According to cGMP regulations

• Hydraulic lid lifting device

• Vacuum / pressure tight

• Heating / cooling jacket

• PARAVISC (EKATO Patent) - agitator system with wall scrapers (other agitators are available)

• The patented UNIMIX homogenizer S-JET, at lowest point in vessel for internal/external homogenization (other homogenizer are available)

• Various control systems available

• Heating / cooling system, various options available

• Flame-proof execution available

• Remote maintenance

• Positive displacement mixer for free-flowing solids / bulk solids

• Free overhung shaft without product contacted bearing unit

• Minimal clearance between agitator and vessel keeps wall clear

• The product moves upwards near the wall and flows downwards at the center

• Application examples: mixing of free-flowing solids such as fine chemicals, pigments, fertilizers, metal powders, polymer additives and crystalline powders sensitive to shear 

Design features:

- Cantilevered shaft with no product contact at bearings

- Processing of products with liquid to thick doughy consistencies

- Close clearances between agitator and vessel wall prevent product build-up there

- Top-entry choppers

- High degrees of homogeneity achieved

- Almost complete discharge of contents, only minimum amounts of product left behind

Function:

- The patented EKATO ISOPAS impeller ensures an intensive, thorough mixing action

- The product is displaced upward near to the wall and flows downward again at the center

- Vacuum contact dryer with heated walls (contact surfaces) supplying heat of evaporation to product

Applications:

- Drying of free-flowing products such as fine chemicals, pigments and active pharmaceutical ingredients

- Drying of crystalline powders sensitive to shear

- Drying of products with problematic flow properties or a pronounced transition phase

- Mixing liquids into solids

- Various processes (blending, drying, reactions) can be carried out in one equipment item
