Integrated Mixing Systems FAQ’s

An IMS is necessary when the manufacturing process requires more than basic mixing, e.g. for challenging products that require very precise processing or repeatable high value products where biosecurity is vital. Factors include:

  • Heating / Cooling
  • Weighing & Inlet control
  • Vacuum & Pressure for processing and product removal
  • Batch control
  • Auto-cleaning (CIP)
  • Programmability, data output & recording
Yes, IMS’s can be specified with HMI touchscreen & PLC’s to control each process stage – filling, mixing, discharge and self-cleaning
Where applicable: FDA compliant, ATEX, cGMP standards including complete CE marking
Yes, multistage self-cleaning systems are available. CIP is often an integral part of the system design
