Laboratory mixer features a 22-liter capacity and a modular design.

The M/DVT-22 is a 22-liter mixer with a modular, cast stainless steel contruction that is said to allow for easy service and cleaning. The unit is rated for operation at internal pressures from full vacuum to 100 psig at 450[degrees]F. The stainless steel jacket is designed for heating and cooling and is rated at 150 psig at 450[degrees]F. The 5 hp electronically variable speed motor and an optional fixed speed chopper are said to give the mixer enough power and versatility to handle the toughest applications.

Several covers are available for different applications, including vacuum operation. The standard discharge is a 2", close mounted, full port ball valve, and an optional end discharge arrangement is available. The patented Filtorr system for liquid-solid separation may be used in conjunction with the end discharge for many applications, including impurity removal and extractions. The entire unit is self-contained on a cast stainless steel base that is said to provide excellent stability during operation and cleaning, according to the company.

Features include 100 psig to full vacuum internal operation; a high speed chopper with 4" blade; VFD with digital readout, 50-300 rpm; a product thermocouple with digital readout; cast v-plows or heat transfer blades; multiple shaft seal configurations; and a non-rotating drum and fixed connections.

With its convenient size and internal pressure capability, the M/DVT-22 is said to be well suited to a broad range of laboratory processes, as well as small production runs, according to the manufacturer.
