The research scope of the MixUniX Laboratory includes power measurement, flow field analysis, material characterization, and the development of integrated skid-mounted systems. In addition to standard laboratory instruments, the lab is equipped with advanced devices such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Brookfield viscometers, rheometers, and laser particle size analyzers to support specialized mixing studies.
The laboratory currently operates cold-model and hot-model platforms ranging from milliliter to cubic-meter scale, and offers a wide range of impeller types to support diverse mixing investigations across various process conditions and materials.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can replicate flow patterns within vessels and process setups without being limited by scale, allowing reliable prediction of the mixing performance of large tanks, including those with unique geometries or specific process requirements.
The MixUniX R&D team has extensively applied CFD across a wide range of process scenarios, from simple single-phase mixing to complex multiphase suspensions and dispersions. This approach not only addresses a variety of challenging technical problems for customers but also provides robust numerical simulation capabilities that underpin and accelerate product development.
MixUniX provides both no-load and load testing services for industrial mixers. All testing procedures strictly follow applicable standards to ensure objective, accurate evaluation and recommendations.
The 110 m³ test tank accommodates mixers with motor power up to 200 kW, shaft lengths up to 5.4 meters, and impeller diameters up to 5 meters. When impeller diameter clearance is ensured, up to four units can be tested in parallel. The no-load testing platform supports mixers with shaft lengths up to 14 meters and impeller diameters up to 8 meters.
By conducting no-load and load tests before shipment, potential issues related to design or manufacturing can be identified and eliminated, ensuring the reliability of the delivered equipment.
