When it comes to laboratory mixers, the most important thing is to ensure that they are equipped as similarly as possible to the production machines, at a smaller scale, so virtually all processes for the mixing, heating/cooling, agglomeration and coating of bulk material can be usefully performed at laboratory scale. This ensures a safe, reliable basis for upscaling to full production later.
The machine design is adapted as far as possible to the different handling criteria for raw materials in a laboratory. This generally entails greater flexibility and availability of the main control elements.
