Planetary Centrifugal Mixers / Paste Mixers
The planetary centrifugal deaeration mixer, also known as paste mixer, is a highly-efficient and fully-automated equipment that specializes in mixing viscous material while degassing at the same time. It employs a no-touch, no-blade mechanism to mix materials using simultaneous rotation and revolution. The final product is a uniformly dispersed mixture with even submicron bubbles removed. This machine can handle a variety of materials such as polymer, cosmetics, pharmaceutical ointment, ink, solder paste, adhesives, sealant, conductive paste, metal slurries, nano materials, and electrode materials.
Compared to other mixing methods, planetary centrifugal mixing achieves:
- Mixing and deaeration in a short amount of time
- Highly reproducible results
- Prevents material breakdown and potential waste
- Easy cleanup without the need to clean accessories such as mixing blades
- Has the ability to mix materials with different viscosities and densities
- Disperses nano particles to eliminate aggregations

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between vacuum and non-vacuum mixers?
Both non-vacuum and vacuum mixers are very efficient at removing air bubbles. If you need to remove submicron-level air bubbles, a vacuum model would be the better choice.
