Instrument specification

  • Technical aspects

    The Thinky Mixer ARV-310P is a planetary centrifugal mixer designed for efficient and uniform mixing, dispersing, and degassing of various types of materials, including pastes, slurries, and solutions. The device operates by combining simultaneous rotation and revolution motions, which ensures high-speed and bubble-free mixing. The main components of the system include:

    ?    Mixing unit (chamber): where the bottles are placed for processing.
    ?    Dedicated mixing bottles: provided in different sizes (10-300 mL).
    ?    Bottle holders/adapters: used to secure the bottles inside the chamber properly.
    ?    Control panel: allows for setting the rotation speed, vacuum pressure, and time for each mixing cycle.
    ?    Lid safety lock: prevents operation when the lid is not properly closed.

  • In-situ capabilities
    Vacuum pressure down to -98 kPa (approx. 2 kPa absolute), suitable for effective air bubble removal; digital programmable interface with recipes for speed, time, and vacuum.
  • Correlated workflow
    Correlated to battery slurry preparation, pastes, and polymer resins. Suitable for mixing high-viscosity, filled materials under vacuum.
