This 3C France mixer-blender — also referred to as a process mixer or vacuum mixer system — is a complete process skid designed for the mixing, blending, and melting of materials under controlled temperature and pressure conditions. Built in 1998 and previously used in a pharmaceutical application for the preparation of coating solutions, the unit comprises two interconnected vessels: a main reactor with vacuum mixing capability and a separate melting tank, supported by a full complement of ancillary equipment and process controls.
The main reactor vessel has a total volume of 1,142 litres and is rated for pressures between -1 and 2.4 bar, with a maximum process temperature of 144 °C. Its heating/cooling jacket carries a volume of 98 litres, rated to 2.5 bar and 142 °C. Agitation is provided by a Mixel-type system fitted with two deflocculators of 260 mm diameter, driven by an 11 kW motor running at 1,500 rpm. The vessel is equipped with a sample intake port, a washing ball for in-place cleaning, a level probe, an inspection hatch, a porthole, and internal lighting.
The melting tank has a total volume of 152 litres and operates at pressures between -1 and 2.1 bar, up to 114 °C. Its jacket volume is 24 litres, rated to 2.5 bar and a maximum temperature of 148 °C. Agitation is delivered by a single tank-bottom deflocculator of 125 mm diameter, powered by a 2.2 kW motor at 3,000 rpm. Like the main vessel, it includes a washing ball, level probe, sample intake, inspection hatch, porthole, and lighting.
The skid is further equipped with dosing pumps, a circulation pump, flow meters, and process controllers, all managed through an electrical cabinet housing a PLC and variable-speed drives. An access footbridge is included with the installation. A batch of spare parts — including gaskets and seals — is available alongside the machine, and full documentation is provided in digital format. The unit is located in France and is offered in used condition.
