THINKY ARV-310P Mixing and Vacuum Degassing Machine, Planetary Centrifugal Vacuum Mixing

About THINKY ARV-310P Mixing and Vacuum Degassing Machine

The THINKY ARV-310P is an industrial non-contact “planetary” mixer suitable for all engineering compounds. This vacuum degassing machine mixes, disperses and degasses up to 310g of material to high levels in seconds to minutes, removing any micro-bubbles using an integral vacuum function. Mixing takes place in a sealed or lid-less container such as a jar, beaker, syringe tube or cartridge. The non-contact mixing principle makes it possible to formulate compounds from very small amounts such as 0.5ml to large production scales.

Ordinarily, when manually degassing using a vacuum, caution must be taken to prevent foaming and messy overflows. The THINKY ARV-310P is able to avoid this issue as the mixed material is forced to the sides of the container during the simultaneous mixing procedure. This mitigates the potential requirement for deep cleaning workspaces after use.

“The THINKY mixer and Fisnar robotic dispenser enabled us to achieve high accuracy process windows, due to the consistency of the mix and the positioning of the dispense, which are both critical to the light output.” – Carl Withers, Plessey Semiconductors

Other Information

See how the THINKY ARV-310 works as part of a real application in these metering and mixing Case Studies:

	Material mixing and dispensing prove key for LED production quality Plessey Semiconductors transitioned to a full production phase of their LEDs by using automated mixing and dispensing equipment.
	Degassing times reduced by up to 90% For a manufacturer of compound semiconductors, the process of hand mixing the multi-part resins in which to encapsulate them was causing an inconsistent, labour intensive final product.
	Manufacture of NMC electrodes for lithium-ion batteries with high active material content The manufacture of electrodes is a crucial step in the production of Lithium-ion batteries, especially the mixing and coating processes, which are involved. Using a ARV-310, the Technical University of Munich homogeneously mix NMC inks in a few minutes.
