Mixing is a basic process of mechanical process engineering. Different starting materials are combined with energy input into a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture. The materials differ in their state of matter, their composition and their physical and chemical properties.<\/p>

What matters in mixing<\/h2>

Density and viscosity also play a major role, because they determine the energy demand, among other things. In cosmetic and pharmaceutical production, the main distinctions are:<\/p>

<\/i>

Liquid or highly viscous<\/h3>

Viscosity determines the tool, drive and process time.<\/p><\/div>

<\/i>

Miscible or repelling<\/h3>

Phases that repel each other need more energy, for example in emulsification<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Depending on the starting point, the process ranges from fairly simple to highly complex. Therefore, it must be designed precisely for these parameters.<\/p>

Applications<\/h2>

Blending processes<\/a> are also part of everyday life, for example in a kitchen blender, a carburettor or a concrete mixer. In industry, they are part of almost all cosmetic, pharmaceutical and chemical production processes, for example for:<\/p>

Creams<\/span><\/i><\/a>Ointments<\/span><\/i><\/a>Hair care products<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/div>
