Powder or Liquid Mixer
 

2. CMS - Vacuum Feed


   

The IKA® CMS 2000 provides an extremely high suction capacity that is ideal for wetting out difficult to mix powders. The high shear rotor and stator provide a homogeneous, agglomerate-free product. The high capacities of the CMS can greatly reduce process times. The CMS can be installed in a once-through arrangement, or in a batch (re-circulating) arrangement


Powder or Liquid Mixing

 

Incorporating powders into liquids, without lumps and without dust, is an important part of many processes. The CMS 2000 utilizes a specially designed rotor that creates enormous suction to draw in solids, while it pumps the liquid at the same time. The liquid can then be re-circulated until all powders are incorporated. Even difficult to wet out solids can be incorporated at high flow rates. In some cases, solids concentrations of up to 80% can be achieved! Additional dispersing can be accomplished by continually re-circulating without adding more powder.

 

 
Application:

Composites, Pectin, Vitamins, Xanthan, Flour, Starches, Pigments, Fertilizers, Soy, Calcium Hydroxide, Highly viscous liquids, Pastes, Resins & Fillers and more...

 
The CMS can be fed by loading the powders into a hopper that is mounted on the inlet of the machine. Powders can be manually loaded, or for semi- or fully automatic operation, a conveyor, pneumatic loader, or other transfer system can load the solids
Powders can be suctioned out of a bag or bin with a suction wand. The CMS minimizes handling of the powders, avoiding contamination. The CMS also reduces man-power requirements by making it easy to feed in the solids
