New developments and solutions for silica mixing and beyond

New innovations in silica mixing, including the advanced PES7 rotor, are setting new standards in efficiency and durability. The PES7 rotor features optimized geometry for improved material flow, delivering better dispersion, reduced energy consumption, and minimized wear. Tandem mixing further enhances these benefits by combining stages for increased productivity and flexibility in production. These solutions not only ensure high-quality results but also lower operating costs by conserving energy and extending equipment lifespan. From silica mixing to broader applications, these advancements represent a leap forward in sustainable, efficient and cost-effective mixing technology.
