General Overview
Our range of intensive mixers consists in ‘MIB’
mixers for batch-type processes, and ‘MIC’ mixers
for continuous-type processes. Instrumentation is pre-wired Option
Both these families share the same main features: on terminal blocks in a cabinet, Upon request, our

horizontal vessel with a single central rotor shaft, control components ATEX directive 94/9/CE
and blade mixing tools.
To fully comply with your needs, we suggest 2 unloading configurations for the whole range:
Each family comes with 2 unloading configura-

Options overview

Wear-resistant solutions
Your process involves some abrasive materials?
Improve the service life of your equipment, by using:
• Special wear resistant steel for the tank & tools
• Covering of the inner wall of the tank with some removable
“shielding plates”
• Coating of the blades with tungsten carbide

CIP solution
Avoiding cross-contamination between batches is mandatory in your
process?
Equip your MIB solution with our CIP system:
• High efficiency cleaning of the mixer, with short time sequence
• Fully automated solution: reproducible results, steady quality
of your product, no human risks factors
• Compact system based on pneumatic jet cleaning, combined
with an evacuation with air flushing into the vessel

Sampler
Your traceability method is based on sample-based controls?
Take a sample of mixed product directly from the tank of the
mixer, and give it to your laboratory.

Side high speed choppers

Your process involves some complex materials, like pigments?
Increase the dispersion of these components, and break up the
lumps by using our high speed choppers to obtain a reproducible
tint, and a homogenous lump-free mix.

Liquid spraying solutions

You need to make “dust-free” products, or your process requires
the addition of liquids in the batch?
Equip your MIB solutions with some spraying nozzles, up to the
supply of the “plug & play” solution with a ‘dosing skid’ for 2 IBC.

Thermal process solutions

Your process involves some thermal sensitive materials?
Our MIB solutions can be provided with jacket, designed to work
under vacuum…
Combining those features, MIB can be used for vacuum-drying
operations.

Auxiliary discharge outlet

You need to direct your mixed product to multiple packaging
lines?
Equip your MIB solution with our compact “side outlet” device,
which gives you a 2nd direction for your MIB ‘VI’ mixer.
