Chemical processing often involves a wide array of ingredients with diverse physical and chemical properties. Operators might encounter challenges such as:

• Lumps, Agglomerates, and “Fisheyes”: Undispersed powders or improperly hydrated ingredients can lead to defects in the final product, requiring rework or resulting in waste.
• Inconsistent Batch Quality: Variations between batches can arise from inefficient mixing, leading to unpredictable product performance.
• Long Processing Times: Traditional mixing methods can be slow, creating bottlenecks in production and increasing energy consumption.
• Difficult-to-Wet Powders: Many chemical powders are hydrophobic or tend to float, making their incorporation into liquids a significant challenge.
• High Viscosity Fluids: Mixing highly viscous materials requires robust equipment capable of generating sufficient flow and shear.
• Emulsion Stability: Creating and maintaining stable emulsions with fine, uniform droplet sizes is crucial for many chemical products.
• Safety Concerns: Handling certain chemicals requires mixing equipment designed with safety in mind, including options for explosion-proof environments.
• Particle Size Reduction: Achieving the desired particle size for optimal reactivity or appearance often necessitates specialized milling equipment.

Admix’s chemical mixing line, available through R-CAP Process Equipment, is specifically designed to address these challenges head-on, providing solutions that enhance efficiency, improve product quality, and ensure process repeatability.

R-CAP Process Equipment is proud to offer Admix’s comprehensive range of mixing equipment tailored for the chemical and industrial sectors. You can explore these solutions further at our dedicated Admix chemical and industrial page. The “CX” designation on many of these products signifies their robust design and suitability for demanding chemical applications.

1. High Shear In-Tank Mixers: Power and Precision

For applications requiring intense mixing energy to disperse, dissolve, or emulsify ingredients directly within a tank, R-CAP supplies Admix’s industry-leading high shear mixers.

• Rotosolver® CX: This is the ultimate workhorse for high shear in-tank mixing. Its patented mixing head design provides an optimal balance of shear and flow, ensuring rapid powder wetting, deagglomeration, and complete dispersion. The Rotosolver CX is adept at eliminating fisheyes in hydrocolloids and creating homogenous blends quickly, significantly reducing batch times. It’s engineered for demanding applications where consistent product quality is critical.
• Rotostat® CX: When fine emulsions and dispersions are the goal, the Rotostat CX excels. This high shear emulsifier generates the high disruptive forces needed to produce small, uniform droplet sizes, leading to improved product stability and texture. It’s an excellent choice for creating stable emulsions in various chemical formulations.

2. Inline Mixing & Milling Equipment: Continuous Efficiency and Particle Refinement

For continuous processing or when ingredients need to be mixed or milled as they flow through a pipeline, R-CAP provides Admix’s advanced inline solutions.

• Dynashear® CX: This inline continuous mixer and emulsifier provides high-speed, high-shear mixing in a single pass. It’s perfect for instantly improving product quality by removing lumps and agglomerates or for creating fine emulsions on the fly. Its versatility allows it to be a stand-alone unit or an augmentation to an existing batch process.
• Boston Shearmill® (BSM) CX: When particle size reduction is crucial, the BSM CX series of inline homogenizers and wet mills delivers extreme shear rates at high throughputs. It surpasses conventional shear pumps and colloid mills, making it ideal for applications requiring fine dispersions and emulsions, such as in the production of specialty coatings, adhesives, or advanced materials.

3. Powder Induction and Dispersion Systems: Clean and Efficient Powder Handling

Introducing powders into liquids can be a messy and inefficient process. Admix’s powder induction systems, sourced through R-CAP, are designed to overcome these challenges.

• Fastfeed™ CX: This integrated skid-mounted system allows for the ergonomic induction and dispersion of powders directly into a liquid stream. It vacuums powders from floor level, conveys them, and immediately wets them out and disperses them, often in a single pass. The Fastfeed CX minimizes dusting, reduces air entrainment, and dramatically improves batch times by ensuring powders are fully hydrated and agglomerate-free. It can handle a wide range of powders and feed rates, making it a versatile solution for many chemical processes.
• Optifeed™ CX: An atmospheric feed system designed for controlled and consistent powder feeding into a liquid stream, enhancing mixing efficiency.

4. Low Shear Agitators and Mixers: Gentle Blending and Suspension

Not all chemical mixing requires high shear. For applications like gentle blending, maintaining suspensions, or facilitating heat transfer, R-CAP offers Admix’s range of low shear solutions.

• Rotomixx® CX: A portable low shear batch mixer ideal for a variety of blending and agitation tasks in smaller vessels.
• Rotomaxx™ II CX: These are robust agitators designed for larger tanks and higher torque applications, ensuring consistent and gentle agitation for maintaining homogeneity or preventing settling in storage tanks.

5. Specialized and Benchtop Systems:

• Benchmix® CX: For laboratory-scale development, pilot batches, and formulation testing, these benchtop mixers provide the same high-shear mixing principles as their production-scale counterparts. This ensures scalable results, allowing for confident transition from R&D to full production when you work with R-CAP.
• Admixer™ Static Mixer CX: For applications where no moving parts are desired, the Admixer provides reliable inline blending of miscible fluids through its carefully designed geometric elements.

The versatility and robustness of the Admix chemical mixing line make it suitable for a wide array of applications. R-CAP Process Equipment can help you identify the right Admix product for your needs in sectors including:
