Consider upgrading your emulsification process to an ultra-high shear mixer to obtain finer droplet sizes and handle higher viscosity emulsions.

This white paper presents an overview of mixing technologies implemented across many of today’s highly competitive pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as new equipment designs that are increasingly being recognized as potential solutions to prevailing mixing challenges. Mixing applications falling within the broad spectrum of mass produced pharmaceutical goods and medical devices are too many and complex to discuss in detail hence this paper will touch on a few general classifications as well as a few examples within that mixing category. Phase and viscosity are used as bases for classification.

The manufacturing landscape is evolving rapidly, marked by ever-increasing competition and consumer demands, unpredictable supply chain disruptions, and the persistent challenge of employee turnover. Optimizing processes and tightening production efficiency has become a top priority for manufacturers across the process industries. Among these processes, efficient mixing stands out as a cornerstone of production, affecting energy consumption, product quality, and operational costs. Yet despite its pivotal role, the benefits of mixing are often underestimated. This article presents five possible strategies that manufacturers can begin to adopt.

Tumble blenders deliver highly accurate and repeatable mixing of powders, granules and even low-viscosity slurries. In addition, this style blender enables complete discharge and easy cleaning. This bulletin presents some design considerations for maximizing mixing efficiency in a tumble blender and selecting the most suitable features for a particular application.
