In Vacuum Mixing

Mixing can greatly improve the degassing operation of almost all materials,

a must for thicker materials like pastes and gells.

DO NOT MIX AIR INTO YOUR PRODUCT !!

use a vacuum mixer

These Chambers are constructed of heavy alloy. Our customers find this to be a practical size for use in vacuum degassing and vacuum processing of all sorts of items including, but not limited to: foods, herbs, papers, liquids, jells, powders, plastics resins, epoxies and many other parts and materials. This chamber is also used in many industries where vacuum work is required In vacuum heaters can be ordered with your chamber (round top loading chambers only). All chambers are vacuum tested to 29.92 inches of Hg or better (10-6 torr ) and should maintain this for its life dependent on seal condition and customer use.

Mixers & Mixing Accessories   About Mixers        Use the following guidelines to select the right mixer for your needs:      Power Source— Mixers are powered either by air or electricity.      Air-powered mixers have infinitely variable speed control, can't be overloaded, and, with proper lubrication, won't burn out.      Electric mixers use energy more efficiently and thus are more economical than air-powered mixers.      Drive— Select the drive style that's right for your application.      Direct-drive mixers turn the propeller at the same speed as the motor, offering high rotational speeds for quick mixing of low-viscosity materials.      Gear-drive mixers typically turn the propeller at lower speeds than the motor, making them ideal for higher-viscosity materials.      Viscosity (centipoise)— The thickness, or resistance to flow, of a material. Viscosity is typically measured in centipoise, with water being equal to 1 and molasses to 15,000. Therefore, the greater the number, the higher the viscosity.      Horsepower— Refer to the table below to find the approximate horsepower of the mixer you'll need. When in doubt, choose a motor with a higher horsepower to avoid overloading.   To Order or if you have any questions, custom configurations, or need pricing, please e-mail us at Abbess@abbess.com Use you credit card or prepay and get expedited fabrication & delivery
