15L Vacuum Double Planetary Mixer with Touch Screen | High-Viscosity Industrial Mixing Solution

The 15L Vacuum Double Planetary Mixer with Touch Screen is a state-of-the-art industrial mixing system designed for high-viscosity materials across multiple industries. This versatile machine combines planetary motion, high-speed dispersion, and vacuum operation to achieve exceptional mixing uniformity for applications ranging from lithium battery slurries to adhesives, sealants, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

MAXWELL Automation has over 18 years of expertise in manufacturing industrial planetary mixers and has developed this model to address the challenges of mixing high-viscosity materials (10,000–1,000,000 cps). The 15L model is part of a comprehensive product line that includes capacities from 2L to 2000L, making it suitable for both laboratory R&D and small-batch production.

Core Technical Specifications

Key Features and Benefits

1. Double Planetary Mixing Action

The mixer features a dual-shaft planetary stirring structure where the mixing blades rotate on their own axes while simultaneously revolving around the vessel. This creates a complex flow pattern that ensures thorough mixing with no dead zones. The combination of low-speed kneading and high-speed dispersion delivers both macro-scale mixing and micro-scale particle reduction.

2. High-Speed Dispersion

An integrated high-speed disperser (up to 2980 rpm) applies powerful shear force to break down agglomerates, disperse additives, and achieve fine particle sizes. This is essential for applications like battery slurries and sealants where particle uniformity is critical.

3. Vacuum Operation

The system operates under vacuum (-0.09 MPa), which:

• Removes air bubbles from the mixture

• Prevents oxidation of sensitive materials

• Improves product density and consistency

• Enables degassing of high-viscosity materials

4. Touch Screen Control

The intuitive touch screen interface provides:

• Easy operation and parameter adjustment

• Recipe storage for different products

• Real-time monitoring of speed, temperature, and vacuum

• Multi-stage speed programming capabilities

5. Stainless Steel Construction

All contact parts are constructed from premium SUS304 or SUS316 stainless steel, providing:

• Excellent corrosion resistance

• Easy cleaning and sanitation

• Compliance with food and pharmaceutical standards

• Long service life

6. Electric Lifting System

The vessel cover and mixing head can be electrically lifted, allowing:

• Easy loading and unloading of materials

• Convenient cleaning and maintenance

• Safe operation with minimal operator effort

7. Heating and Cooling Capability

Optional heating and cooling functions allow temperature control during mixing, which is essential for:

• Temperature-sensitive formulations

• Materials requiring specific processing temperatures

• Optimizing viscosity and flow characteristics

8. PTFE Scraper System

The scraper blades (PTFE material) continuously sweep the vessel walls, ensuring:

• No material buildup on walls

• Consistent mixing of all material

• Maximum material utilization

• Easy cleaning
