The container mixer CM i4 fleX is equipped with a new and innovative tool and container detection system that enables safe and automated operation of the mixer. This allows for greater flexibility and usability of the mixer.

The specialized design of the containers is adapted to the mixing head of the respective container mixer, thus enabling a larger throughput range per mixer. This makes the production process even more flexible.

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 optimal 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 fleX, we are once again taking a big step forward into the future of industrial dry mixing.

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

In contrast to the container mixer Multitool™ 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 container mixer CM i4 fleX is therefore particulary 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 fleX 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 container mixer 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 container mixer CM i4 fleX 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 represents the features of Industry 4.0 / IoT (Internet of Things) used in the mixing industry. Excellent mixing flexibility, high quality and cleaning effort reduced to a minimum are its distinguishing features.

The control of the container mixer CM i4 fleX 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 according to UL / NEMA. In addition, the control can be equipped with an interface for data exchange to a higher-level control.

Up to 99 mixing programs with ten work steps each can be created in tabular form via the TP700 touch control panel. Data acquisition and storage of the measured values takes place.

Control to UL / NEMA standards with an Allen Bradley PLC and Panelview control panel.

The container mixer CM i4 fleX 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 fleX opens up versatile application possibilities for the manufacture of numerous products.

Another option is to use multiple container sizes with one mixer to allow different batch sizes with only one machine.

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

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

The MIXACO mixing tool i4 fleX 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 fleX mold minimize material caking, which also significantly simplifies cleaning.

The MIXACO container mixer CM i4 fleX 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 downstream further processing steps.

Easy and fast transport – battery-powered including charger.
