PLANETARY MIXING & DEGASSING
Mix, Disperse and Degas Viscous Fluids Without Conventional Blades
Produce uniform, air-free formulations in sealed containers using simultaneous revolution and rotation. Process adhesives, pastes, slurries, inks, coatings, battery materials, silicones, and other difficult formulations from laboratory development through production.

START WITH THE FORMULATION PROBLEM
What is keeping your process from being repeatable?
Select the challenge that best describes your material. Glen Mills will help match the formulation, container, batch size and degassing requirement to the right mixing & degas solution.

Inconsistent Formulations
Use programmable operating conditions to improve repeatability between operators and batches.
Compare Mixer Types >
Heat-Sensitive Materials
Use controlled speed patterns and lower-speed operating modes to limit unnecessary thermal rise.
Discuss Your Material >
Cross Contamination and Cleanup
Mix in removable or disposable containers instead of cleaning conventional blades and mixing vessels.
Review Container Options >
Scale-Up Uncertainty
Develop operating conditions at small scale and move toward larger dual-cup and production systems.

HOW PLANETARY CENTRIFUGAL MIXING WORKS
Two synchronized motions create intense internal material flow.
The container revolves around the machine’s central axis while rotating around its own axis. The resulting acceleration folds, shears and circulates material throughout the container. A degassing cycle uses a different revolution-to-rotation relationship to move trapped air out of the formulation.
Non-contact processing
No internal blades or agitators contacting the formulation..
Mix and degas in one system
Use sequential programmable steps instead of transferring material between machines.
Closed-container operation
Reduce exposure, material loss and cleanup while processing directly in compatible vessels.
CHOOSE BY SCALE AND PROCESS REQUIREMENT
A mixer for every stage of development.
The most important selection factors are usable container volume, material weight, required degassing level, heat sensitivity, container format and production throughput.
