The Sonic Mixer is a powder blender that
uses patented acoustic fluidization and linear motor technology to
provide fast, efficient and thorough mixing. Laboratory size models
are available off-the-shelf. Larger sizes are under development. This
new technology is ideal for mixing a variety of materials including
pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, cosmetics, ceramics, detergents,
plastics, synthetic fibers and metal powders.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Sizes
• 2 and 20 liter laboratory models.
• 200 liter and larger production models. Technology
• Acoustic fluidization creates a bubbling, high intensity mixing
zone.
• Chamber shape focuses energy and produces circulation.
• Sonic power is provided by a tuned variable reluctance linear
motor. Mixing Effectiveness
• Wide range of powder sizes (<5 -750 µm) and densities.
• Excellent mixing to 2% RSD with spike levels down to 0.1%.
• Typical mix times 2:00 minutes or less.
• Chamber fill levels from less than 5% to greater than 75%. Mixing Control
• Microcontroller based, menu driven blend intensity selection.
• Automatic blend timer.
• Linear power control.
• Customizable mix recipes. Ease of Use Benefits
• Bladeless chamber gently mixes without damaging product.
• Efficient mixing with low heat generation.
• Secure chamber keeps powders in and contaminants out.
• Removable chambers provide easy storage, filling and emptying.
• Spare chambers for storage to minimize transfers and damage.
• Easy to clean bladeless chamber saves time and money .
• Captured gasket is easily replaced, but not easily lost. Reliability
• Non-contact, long life, bearing-free linear motor design.
• No rotary bearings or seals to contaminate or wear-out.
• Quality CNC manufacturing for consistency.

FAQS
QUESTION
ANSWER
How much power is used?
The 2 liter, e.g., varies linearly between 50W at level 1 up
to 250W at level 15.
Does input power vary with particle size?
Does input power vary with chamber fill?
Particle size and chamber fill level have little effect on the
input power.
How much is the chamber moving?
Chamber (motor) movement is adjusted with intensity level from
1-15 and varies up to +/- 0.150 in.
What materials are used in the 2 liter
chamber?
304 stainless, acrylic base & cylinder (for abrasion),
polycarbonate flange and lid (for shock strength).
What materials are used in the 20 and 200 liter chamber?
304 stainless steel standard. 316 stainless steel upon
request.
What is the operating frequency?
Standard operating frequency is about 100 Hz
Is the electrical drive waveform sinusoidal?
No, it is more complex with energy content in higher
harmonics.
Can the drive waveform be customized?
Can the operating frequency be changed?
Yes, a manual mode is available (with passcode) to allow
input of custom drive waveforms.
Have other processes been considered?
Yes, in our laboratory. Call for more information.
