Perfect Mixing of difficult materials
Non contact mixing with de-aeration
This revolution in mixer technology provides perfect mixing for formulations and dispersions with simultaneous de-aeration. It is extremely fast so that homogeneous mixtures of pastes resins and powders can be produced in seconds or minutes. The technology uses non-contact mixing so that there is no product damage even for sensitive materials. Non contact means no propellers, no blades, no rollers.

Materials are mixed and de-aerated in a few minutes, dramatically reducing product preparation time. Precise ingredient quantities means no waste and little or no solvent.
The ARE-250 combines rotational and orbital spinning to deliver an acceleration of up to 400 G. It mixes at the primary particle level and de-aerates microscopic air bubbles.This compact benchtop unit is highly portable.
The materials can be processed in a range of disposable or customer containers. This prevents contamination and no cleaning is required.
- Dispersion at primary particle level.
- De-aeration of microscopic bubbles.
- Perfect formulations in seconds to minutes.
- Applicable to all types of materials.
- No damage to sensitive materials.
- Can eliminate solvents and emulsifiers.
- Disposable containers - no cleaning required.
Program modes
Mixing programs can be entered through the control panel and recalled from memory. The programs have mixing and de-aerating modes. For example the mixing mode may rotate the container at 800rpm and revolve the container (orbital spin) at 2,000rpm . After a given time it automatically transits to de-aerating mode where the rotation of the container will be decreased to 60rpm and the orbital spin increased to 2200rpm. The programs can have up to 5 modes in one program cycle.
Viscous and difficult materials
The ARE-250 mixes viscous materials such as ceramic powders, adhesives, silicon, polyurethane and iron oxide. Materials that usually take days can be processed in a few minutes.
