APV’s Flex-MixTM range represents the future within mixing. Unique high-shear mixing under vacuum
provides excellent product quality, increased plant capacity and high solid levels. Our patent pending powder valve ensures reliable and continuous production, aseptic aeration with minimized temperature increase due to a unique rotor/stator design.
The APV Flex-Mix range of mixers is able to process a wide range of products, covering a multitude of
applications and mixing operations. Mixers can perform several operations in one tank, and can be installed or changed over quickly to give customers the flexibility to respond rapidly to changing demands and achieve a fast time-to-market.
SPX has an extensive portfolio of mixers. The APV Flex Mix Family, Bran+Luebbe PENTAX Mixers and the LIGHTNIN SanStar Family. With our large range of mixers, we service laboratories, pilot-scale installations as well as industrial production facilities.
Stirring, mixing and blending of products are fundamental operations in liquid processing. Often a fluid consists of components that are either dissolved or contain a dispersion of particles of different sizes. A good example of a product consisting of a mixture of dispersed components is milk, which consists of fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and water. The fastest way of achieving dispersion is to use a mechanical shear force.
