Industrial Chemical Mixing Systems
Mixing Solutions for Consumer & Industrial Chemicals
As chemical manufacturers respond to product opportunities they inevitably face new technical challenges regardless of the sector they serve.
Greaves mixing application engineers collaborate closely with customers to understand these challenges and offer the most up to date technical solutions.
While providing safe, innovative, cost-effective mixing solutions to optimise product quality and consistency, as well as reducing waste and process time of current product formulations, we also consider what might come next in terms of new products and processes.
By working closely with customers to develop an understanding of their market opportunities and growth plans we aim to ensure their mixing systems are sufficiently flexible meet future demands.
Client Spotlight
Automotive Chemicals
Manufacturer of Industrial & Consumer Chemicals
To build on previous growth A Chem were looking to increase production capacity and upgrade their product development capability.
James Davis – Commercial Director, A-Chem
“To remain flexible and meet customer requirements we needed to be able to switch rapidly between different products whilst maintaining productivity and quality. We also needed the capability to manufacture in a wide variety of batch sizes so customers can order the quantity they require without being restricted to large minimum order quantities.
The new laboratory and manufacturing equipment range is now extensive and has transformed what we can offer our customers.
The accuracy when scaling up from the laboratory mixers to production equipment has reduced wastage of batches, and allowed improved our right first time targets, ensuring the customer receives exactly what they have approved during the development stage.
Greaves shear mixers have reduced batch processing time by up to 93%, creating a more stable product with a longer shelf-life. In addition, the Greaves Flex system with fixed mixers and interchangeable mobile vessels ensures quick clean down with flexible batch sizes – something that is important to ensure efficiency when growing in various markets across very different product types.”
