Laboratory Mixer Type UNIMIX LM

The UNIMIX LM laboratory type mixer is used to record important data during product development, which represent a reliable basis for later production (scale-up). All parameters such as speed, temperature and pressure can be adjusted variably. The homogenizing system of the laboratory mixers is a particular advantage since it is not only used for internal and external homogenization, but also for emptying and as a cleaning pump. This small “plug-in” system is available as a 3 or 6 liter version

Laboratory Mixer Type UNIMIX LM

The same advantages and a similar design are offered by the UNIMIX SRT pilot plant series. The SRT system is designed for product and process development (scale-up) in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry and is ideally suited for the production of small product batches (sizes between 15 and 70 liters) of creams, ointments, gels, toothpaste, mascara, etc.

What does “Number of sealing faces” mean?

Single-acting mechanical seals
These seals have one sealing surface and only seal in one direction. They are generally simpler in design and are commonly used in applications where pressure is applied from only one side.

Double-acting mechanical seals
These seals have two sealing surfaces and can seal in both directions. They are ideal for applications where pressure may come from both sides or where a higher sealing performance is required.

Triple-acting mechanical seals
These are less common and used in specialized applications that require a more complex sealing setup. They offer additional sealing surfaces or mechanisms to ensure reliable sealing even in highly demanding environments.
