The Helicone Mixer by Design Integrated Technology, Inc. (DIT) has been in production for over 40 years and comes in two models, the CV (Cone Vertical) and SC (Single Cone).  The Helicones are highly specialized, multi-agitator mixers that lend themselves to a variety of applications utilized in many industries.  Over 117 products have been patented using Helicone mixers.  These mixers typically outperform horizontal and vertical designs by reducing mixing time as much as 50%, resulting in large savings for our customers.  Both the CV and SC are low speed, medium shear style reactors with excellent mix dispersement. High shear dispersement available in SC model. High viscosity polymerization and condensation reactions are routinely accomplished in Helicone mixers.

One of the most important features of these Helicone mixers is the ability to accurately scale-up your batch from the smaller laboratory mixers to the larger production mixers.  The CV also has the unique ability to allow you to scale-up your recipes and conditions from a small batch mixer to a twin screw extruder.

APPLICATIONS
The Helicone Mixer is primarily utilized in industries that produce Polymers/Monomers, Thermoplastics, Silicones, Ceramics, Pharmaceuticals, Epoxies, Adhesives, Propellants, Pyrotechnics, and etc. Long term service in ultra high viscosity mixing applications is a normal design feature for the Helicone.

TEST FACILITIES
Design Integrated Technology provides test facilities for trial mixing. Both the SC and CV Helicone mixers can be scaled up readily and accurately, thus laboratory scale units requiring only small quantities of customer materials are used for test purposes.
