Discover why halving mixing time rarely solves insufficient capacity and how the complete batch cycle reveals the true bottleneck.

Learn what ATEX is, how zones 0, 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22 work and which requirements apply to safe machines and potentially explosive processes.

Discover what homogenisation is, how mixing, dispersing and emulsifying differ, and how you determine the right process selection and endpoint criteria.

Discover how you can produce a stable oil-in-water emulsion with the right emulsifier, addition sequence, shear, tank circulation and process control.

Discover RMC dispersing machine versus agitator technology process time and determine which approach speeds up your powder processing and batch cycle.

Discover how maintenance, safety & hygiene work together to reduce downtime, contamination and risks and release mixing installations under controlled conditions.

Discover how to choose more or less shear based on the product objective, rheology and circulation, without structural loss, air entrainment or unnecessary heating.

Discover how high and low viscosity in mixing processes determine machine selection, bulk flow and shear, and prevent dead zones and air entrainment.
