The VMI TRIMIX is a complete system for the manufacturing of creams and pastes. With options for an integrated vacuum system, wax melting, heating, and cooling, the TRIMIX can be used as a standalone mixer or part of a larger system

Principle of operation

The integrated mixing tools give three independently controllable actions with the surface scraper, rotor stator and pumping impeller.

Powders and liquids can be introduced from above or directly into the rotor stator high shear head under vacuum.

Internal circulation from the pumping impeller ensures all product is evenly mixed and is presented to the shear head.

Surface scraping blades ensure interchange of product at the vessel wall giving efficient heating or cooling as required

Key features

  • No external recirculation loop gives full control of mixing and minimises losses
  • Designed for extremely high product recovery
  • Fully scalable from TRILAB
  • Working volumes up to 20,000 litres
  • Premix vessels can be integrated with a range of mixing tools
  • Vacuum for process and for product introduction
  • Designed for easy clean and simple removal of tooling


Typical applications

  • - Viscous, pasty products
  • - Pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and chemical creams and pastes
  • - Complex formulations and rheologies
