Metering and Mixing

A team of material scientists at ETH Zurich University have been developing new materials for 3D printing which deliver additional functionality. To ensure that the source material mixes homogeneously with the fillers, they use the THINKY ARE-250 mixer.

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.

An Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider’s original process included workers manually stirring solder paste to prepare it for use. After introducing the THINKY SR-500 to its process, they can now optimise solder paste from the refrigerator in minutes.

University Hospital Coventry chose a THINKY mixer to save time and improve the quality of their silicone mixing process to produce prosthetics.

Consistent high quality mixing and improved degassing of powders into resins advanced the process capabilities of a ceramic materials company.

A planetary mixing and degassing machine allows a high specification adhesive to be mixed homogeneously, improving simplicity and quality of production.
