IKA®
offers the most versatile inline mixers in the industry,
including a laboratory mixer that
can be easily converted to any of six different mixer
types. IKA®’s
inline mixers utilize a modular design, making them
extremely versatile. Mixers are available in single
and multiple stage arrangements,
where up to three mixing tools are arranged in series.
All IKA®
mixers have the capability of interchanging the mixing
tools, so that the mixer can be modified to suit the
application requirements. In addition, IKA®inline
mixers maintain a consistent tip speed, no matter
what the size, making them the most scalable mixers
in the industry. Inline mixers:

Powder-Liquid Mixers
|
IKA®
introduced the revolutionary MHD Powder-Liquid Mixer
only a few years ago, and already this patented machine
has received an award for its innovative design. The
IKA® MHD is the only
powder-liquid mixer that uses a mechanical feed method
to draw in the solids, which reduces aeration. Other
powder-liquid mixers rely on the venturi principle,
or vacuum effect, caused by the fluid traveling at
high velocity. In addition, highly viscous fluids
and high concentrations are not a problem with the
MHD. IKA® also offers
the CMS for general purpose, powder-liquid applications.
The CMS can incorporate high volumes of solids and
quickly disperse them.
|
MHD
– Powder-Liquid Mixer, mechanical feed
is a high
shear mixer offering up to 8 mixing tool options
and 4 auger choices, with flow rates to 175+ gpm.
|
CMS – Powder-Liquid Mixer, vacuum
feed is a high shear mixer that produces
a large vacuum to quickly incorporate large quantities
of solids, with flow rates to 900+ gpm.
|
Batch Mixers |
IKA®
offers a wide variety of batch mixers, including high
shear mixers, agitators, stirrers and jet mixers.
IKA® also offers several laboratory mixers
for use in the laboratory or pilot plant. A wide variety
of mixing tools is available on our batch mixers,
and other options are available for sealing and mounting.

Colloid & Cone Mills |
The Colloid Mill MK
is suitable for very fine emulsions and suspensions.
The MK utilizes a three stage, rotor
and stator, with an infinitely adjustable gap which
allows the milling action to be optimized according
to the application. The three stages have reversing
grooves with increasingly fine serrations, that result
in a uniform product. The
Cone Mill MKO is a unique IKA®
innovation that utilizes a three stage, rotor and stator
which are surfaced with an extremely hard and abrasive
surface coating. The MKO provides an even finer and
more intense milling action than a colloid mill. IKA®
mills:
MK
– Colloid Mill: has an adjustable
gap rotor and stator with three stages, and serrated
teeth, capacities to 350+ gpm.
MKO – Cone Mill:
has an adjustable gap rotor and stator with three
stages, and abrasive coating, capacities to 25+
gpm.

Laboratory Mixers |
IKA®
offers laboratory mixers for inline and batch processes.
Our versatile and innovative designs are unparalleled
in quality and functionality. Every IKA®
laboratory mixer offers a wide variety of mixing tool
options and accessories. Scale-up to production from
the laboratory is achieved through consistent tip
speeds and mixing tool geometries. Inline laboratory
mixers can be equipped with a re-circulation loop
and a vessel for simulating a batch or semi-continuous
systems. Other accessories include a speed controller,
dosing pumps, solids feeders and more. Batch mixers
have an optional attachment that converts them into
an inline mixer, and a wide variety of mixing tool
options. Inline and batch mixers: |
Laboratory Mixers for Inline:

Plant
Systems for Inline Processes: continuous
mixing systems that incorporate high quality IKA®
mixers and blenders. The systems can be designed
to meter, dispense, mix and transfer all in one
turnkey package. Electronic controls can be simple,
manual type of operation, or very sophisticated
designs with automatic controls and graphical
interfaces. IKA®
has many standard designs that can be adapted
to the application, or can design a totally custom
system according to the customer’s requirements.
Dilution plants, foaming systems, fuel blending
systems, powder-liquid mixing plants and edible
oil systems are just a few of the turnkey packages
that IKA® has
designed and built for our customers.
Plants for Batch Processes: plants
in any size can be custom designed, or selected
from our standard offering from 5 to over 500
gallons. IKA®
mixers and blenders are combined with quality
vessels, and auxiliary equipment to provide a
complete turnkey plant.
Dilution Plants DPV: in order
to reduce transportation costs, many materials
are supplied in a highly concentrated form that
requires dilution prior to use. A continuous mixing
system is required that can take two or more streams
of material and instantly disperse the materials
into a uniform product, without re-circulation.
IKA® designs
and manufacturers systems for this purpose, and
has a complete line of standard systems that are
customized to the application. IKA®
DPV Dilution Plants include pumps, flow meters,
mixers, controls, and everything needed for a
complete turnkey system.
Master Plant :The new, pioneer
mixing concept of the Master Plant guarantees
for highest product quality and extreme shortening
of production times. The
heart of the plant is the dispersing machine DBI
2000/.. directly mounted to the vessel. The machine
has a two stage design which, contrary to usual
systems, does not force you to make compromises.
