PerMix Vacuum Plow Mixer & Dryer

PerMix 5 Liter Vacuum Plow Mixer & Dryer

Product Overview:
The PerMix 5 Liter Vacuum Plow Mixer & Dryer is a precision-engineered laboratory and small-batch mixer designed for high-performance mixing, drying, and processing of powders, pastes, and granules. Equipped with a heating and cooling jacket, internal vacuum capability, and PLC/HMI automation, this compact unit delivers the same advanced processing technology as our large-scale production mixers—perfectly scaled for R&D, pilot production, or specialty small-volume manufacturing.

The plow-style mixing action ensures rapid and thorough blending, while optional choppers can be added to break down agglomerates and improve dispersion. The vacuum system allows for efficient drying at lower temperatures, protecting heat-sensitive products while improving energy efficiency.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Capacity: 5 liters — ideal for R&D, laboratory work, and specialty batches

• Mixing Type: Plow-style agitator for fast, intensive, and uniform mixing

• Heating & Cooling Jacket: ASME-rated jacket for precise temperature control during mixing and drying

• Vacuum Capability: Full internal vacuum for gentle drying, deaeration, and moisture removal

• PLC/HMI Controls: Touchscreen interface for process automation, recipe storage, and batch monitoring

• Construction: Available in 304 stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, or specialty alloys

• Optional Choppers: High-speed cutters for lump breaking and improved dispersion

• Sanitary Design: Easy-to-clean surfaces, minimal product retention, and tool-free access

• Compact Footprint: Space-saving design for benchtop or pilot plant use

Applications:

• Pharmaceutical R&D — powder blending, granulation, and drying of active ingredients

• Food & Nutraceutical — seasoning mixes, protein powders, functional additives

• Chemical & Specialty Materials — pigments, coatings, nanomaterials, specialty powders

• Cosmetics — powders, pastes, and creams requiring precision mixing and drying

• Small Batch Production — pilot runs before scaling up to full production

Advantages:

• Laboratory to Production Scalability: Same technology as large PerMix vacuum plow mixers for seamless process scale-up

• Multi-Function Processing: Mix, dry, and cool in one vessel

• Vacuum Drying Efficiency: Removes moisture without damaging temperature-sensitive materials

• Advanced Process Control: PLC/HMI system ensures repeatable, documented results

• Compact & Mobile: Perfect for R&D labs, universities, and pilot facilities
