Homogenizing and mixing

Universal processor for products with low to very high viscosities.

Applications:

• Versatile universal processor for liquid and semi-solid products: for creams, ointments, gels, toothpastes, lipsticks, mascaras, shampoos, conditioners, etc.;
• Individually configurable for all applications and premises;
• Useable as stand-alone processor and integrated in single/multi-process lines;
• Sterile production possible.

Features:

• Patented BECOMIX homogeniser with integrated CIP pump;
• Flexible shearing effect (from high to low shear) simply through change of rotation direction;
• Production of emulsions using the single-vessel method;
• BECOMIX’s unique hot/cold procedure reduces batch times (by up to -55%);
• Rapid and dust-free dispersion of powder even in the smallest of batches thanks to the Powder Jet;
• Anchor agitator with scrapers for optimal diagonal mixing and shortest heating/cooling times;
• Touch PC, manual and automated, recipe-controlled automation incl. ERP interface;
• Integrated CIP/SIP;
• ATEX zone 2 to 0 possible;
• cGMP design;
• Comprehensive documentation (material and welding seams, IQ/OQ, various languages);
• Sizes: 60 to 10,000 litres.

Technologies:

• Shear variability: Shear variability means that the shear intensity of our homogenisers can be specifically varied according to needs for an almost unlimited range of applications.
• Hot/cold production: In the hot/cold procedure, the molten wax phases and cold water phases are combined and immediately emulsified. The result is a reduction in production times by more than half and up to 80% lower energy consumption.
• Diagonal mixing: Our proven stirrer technology guarantees optimal mixing and scraping. This is all down to the special geometry of the stirrer and scraper system.
• Powder processing: BECOMIX systems offer a range of different options for the addition of raw materials in the form of powders. The Powder Jet homogeniser is one of the quickest and cleanest options available.
• Pharmaceutical qualification: BECOMIX works in strict accordance with the latest pharmaceutical industry standards.
