The innovative flat mixing head and optimized machine components significantly reduce cleaning effort.

Proven technology and forward-looking innovations create an advanced industrial mixer with longer life cycles and lower maintenance requirements.

The innovative flat mixing head and optimized machine components significantly reduce cleaning effort. Proven technology and forward-looking innovations create an advanced industrial mixer with longer life cycles and lower maintenance requirements.

The flat mixing head has a smaller surface compared to a conventional mixing head and can therefore be cleaned more quickly and easily. The large distance between the mixing tool and the mixing head enables cleaning in the installed state. This makes extremely fast cleaning cycles and recipe changes possible. The new tool design ensures optimum mixing stream formation (vortex) with moderate temperature input.

As the inventor of the container mixer, we at MIXACO feel committed to innovation in industrial mixing technology. With the new container mixer CM i4, we are once again taking a big step forward into the future of industrial dry mixing.

The container mixer CM i4 is a further development of the proven container mixer concept. However, the CM i4 has new features that make the container mixer even more attractive.

In contrast to the Multitool container mixer, it has a completely new type of flat mixing head, which offers quick cleaning. The mixing tools do not have to be removed for cleaning. The design of the container mixer without a base plate also significantly reduces the cleaning effort.

The CM i4 is therefore particularly suitable for applications in which different recipes require frequent cleaning of the mixer. The additional efficiency is an important cost reduction factor in your production.

The CM i4 can be used for operation over several floors in your production thanks to its mobile containers and accessories, just like the container mixer Multitool and container mixer Vortex. Via appropriate connections, the mixing container can be emptied dust-free directly into extruders, kneaders, secondary vessels, weighing and bagging devices in the next process step.

With its revolutionary mixing system, the MIXACO container mixer CM i4 opens up versatile application possibilities for the production of numerous products. Another option is the use of multiple different container sizes with one mixer.

This mixer embodies the features of Industry 4.0 and the IoT (Internet of Things) as applied to the mixing industry. Its distinguishing features include excellent mixing flexibility, high quality, and minimal cleaning effort.

The control of the container mixer CM i4 is based on a Siemens S7 PLC and meets today’s requirements for safety, efficiency and economy. The development and programming of the control system from a single source ensures optimum integration of the mixer components. Alternatively, it is also possible to use Allen-Bradley components (incl. Panelview operating unit).

The control can also be designed in accordance with UL/NEMA standards. In addition, the control can be equipped with an interface for data exchange with a higher-level control system.

Up to 99 mixing programs, each with ten steps, can be created in tabular form using the TP700 touchscreen control panel. Data is collected and the measured values are stored.

Control system compliant with UL/NEMA standards, featuring an Allen-Bradley PLC and a PanelView control panel.

The container mixer CM i4 is used in a wide variety of applications, for example in powder coatings, in masterbatches, in the preparation of toner, color concentrates or additives.

With its revolutionary mixing system, the MIXACO container mixer CM i4 opens up versatile application possibilities for the manufacture of numerous products.

Another option is to use multiple container sizes with a single mixer to accommodate different batch sizes using just one machine.

Our CM i4 industrial mixer offers all the functions and mixing processes of our proven container mixer concept. Temperature-reduced mixing is also possible with the CM i4.

The innovative mixing system of the MIXACO CM i4 container mixer enables the processing of countless raw materials from a wide range of industries:

The MIXACO mixing tool i4 was specially developed for use in a mixer with a flat mixing head. The innovative design of the i4 tool enables good mixing stream formation, even at moderate peripheral speeds. These amount to 4 to 15 m/s, depending on the application. Excellent homogenization and color application are guaranteed.

Due to the large distance to the mixing head base, the mold can be cleaned while installed. The large distance to the mixing head and also to the container as well as the innovative geometry of the i4 mold minimize material caking, which also significantly simplifies cleaning.

The MIXACO container mixer CM i4 can be expanded in many ways. Additional adaptations can be developed in cooperation with our engineers according to your individual requirements. We will be happy to advise you on the possibilities:

Dust-free automatic, semi-automatic, or manual loading of containers.

Dust-free discharge of the mixed material into subsequent processing steps.

Easy and fast transport—battery-powered, with a charger included.

Test our mixers at our test center—using your own raw materials, of course.
