The Challenge
We were contacted by a major international company specialising in the production of graphite-based formulations derived from graphene research and development. They requested the supply of three batch paddle mixers, each capable of processing at least 2,000 litres of product per batch. Destined for three production lines operating in parallel, the mixers handle highly unique materials in terms of density, particle size distribution, and rheology, across both liquid and solid phases. The client's objective is to perfectly homogenise all ingredients within the shortest possible cycle times while maintaining the highest standard of finished product quality, which is subject to frequent and highly stringent product validation protocols.
The machines must be integrated into a new facility where they will be installed mid-way between different factory levels, requiring the mixers to be flush-mounted or "recessed" directly into the floor.
