With THINKY mixers, you can homogeneously mix and degas:
Liquids
Pastes
Powders
Fillers
Engineering and pharmaceutical materials
Non-contact ‘planetary’ mixing
By means of the rotation and revolution ‘planetary’ mixing principle, without the use of blades, paddles or other invasive tools, even high viscosity materials and nano-particles can be effectively mixed, dispersed and degassed with minimal stress on the materials themselves.
No Clean-Up: The planetary centrifugal motion of the mixer means that you can mix in standard THINKY jars or your own containers such as beakers, syringe tubes or cartridges without any mixing implements to clean between batches.
Bubble-Free: The process naturally degasses compounds, but if micro-bubbles are a concern, several THINKY mixer models feature a vacuum mode to go the extra mile in removing any trapped air.
See the results some of our customers have achieved:
Degassing Times Reduced by up to 90%
For a manufacturer of compound semiconductors, the process of hand mixing the multi-part resins in which to encapsulate them was causing an inconsistent, labour intensive final product.
Functionality of Electromagnetic Shielding Materials Improved Without Cutting Fibres
A scientific research team required a non-contact mixing process to effectively mix carbon fibres into their unique radio wave absorbing wall coating for electromagnetically shielded rooms.
Mixing Silicones for Facial and Other Prosthetics
University Hospital Coventry chose a THINKY mixer to move from a lengthy, manual process requiring a skilled technician, to a short, reliable and automated process to mix silicones to produce prosthetics.
Manufacture of NMC Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries With High Active Material Content
The Technical University of Munich uses a THINKY ARV-310 vacuum rotation/revolution mixer to produce visually homogeneous NMC inks with a solid content in excess of 65% weight in a few minutes.
A batch size can be anything from 0.5ml to 20L depending on the size of your THINKY machine.
THINKY mixers start at around £5,000, and you can see a speedy return on investment when you consider the time required to manually mix and clean implements, plus you benefit from the knowledge that your materials are thoroughly and consistently mixed. Have a look at our range of THINKY models:
