  • Metering and Mixing

    Across multiple industries, consistent homogeneous mixing of materials is an important stage of production, as demonstrated in these case studies.

    Case Study Pforzheim University LMM feedstock

    Production of a homogeneous feedstock for LMM 3D printing process

    Seeking a way to homogeneously mix feedstock for their Lithography-based metal manufacturing (LMM) process, Pforzheim University chooses a THINKY ARM-310 mixer to effectively mix metal powder into a high viscosity, photosensitive polymer.

    Case Study - Degassing times reduced by up to 90%

    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. Seeking a more efficient method of mixing and degassing their compounds, the manufacturer in question choose to use the THINKY ARV-310.

    TUM ARV-310 for NMC electrodes for lithium-ion batteries

    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. The Technical University of Munich uses a THINKY ARV-310 vacuum rotation/revolution mixer to produce visually homogeneous NMC inks with a solid content in excess of 65% weight in a few minutes.
