Many systems in raw material automation have highly automated processes which are controlled by a process control system, such as the Azo Kastor production control system, that generates a large amount of data: This is where smart data comes up.

Ika's CMX 2000 is an inline mixer for fast, homogeneous incorporation of powders into liquids. The circulation of the liquid creates a strong vacuum in the machine, which sucks in the solid material. Thus, even powders that are difficult to wet can be incorporated lump-free into a liquid phase.

The way GMP-compliant batch mixers work is determined by two synchronously rotating screw mixing tools. They carry goods upwards in the periphery and downwards in the centers, which creates an intensive cross-flow of the product flowing up and down.
