MC² redesigns powder mixing
Mixing is not just a cost: in fact, it is crucial for production quality, capacity and consistency.
Properly engineered mixers, that consider all aspects such as materials of construction, configuration and application-specific accessories, reduce waste, re-working and down-time, while “commodity” installations only shift the problem to the quality department.
That’s why the MC² business model focuses on being the strategic partner for mixing powders and granules, with customised units, installation and service, providing the customer with a full package that goes beyond the mere product.
Mixers: the heart of production in food and pharma
Mixers play a strategic, critical role in production lines, for these reasons:
- inconsistent mixing quality generates non-conformity issues, which result both in non-compliance with norms and higher costs.
- consistent mixing reduces the risk of variation, ensuring product validation.
- use of suitable materials with specific configurations and finishing to avoid product build-up are essential to meet GMPs and guarantee quick and easy cleaning operations.
“Not all mixers are the same”, the details that make a difference
To select the correct mixer, you need to consider the following aspects — listed according to strategic impact:
1- Type of mixing technology — impacts mixing time, energy consumption and risk of segregation. MC² produces different technologies with customised solutions.
2- o.c. and finishing — different grades of SS, welds ground smooth, crack and crevice free surfaces, ultra-low roughness finishing, to ensure quick and thorough cleaning operations.
3 – Controls and automation — VFDs, PLCs with built-in profiling to guarantee validation and traceability. MC² provides fully customised controls for both pilot and production units.
4 – Integrated services — installation, start-up, maintenance and spare parts: the choice of a supplier must reduce the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). MC² offers consultancy, revamps and service both on site and in its workshop.
Strengths of the MC² brand
- Specific design: Customised solutions dictated by specific production needs (tested in pilot units, verified scale-up) to assess product conformity.
- Reliability: High-capacity installations with highly abrasive materials as proof of robustness and durability (e.g. extra-large mixers in the mining industry).
- Full service: Mixer, installation, start-up, spares, maintenance, making procurement simple and reducing down-time.
MC² offers services to prove how its mixers satisfy customer needs like on-site application assessment, and in-house or in-the-field lab tests.
MC² combines product excellence with superior service, customised design with application-specific experience, fastidious configuration with simplicity of use, in order to be the strategic partner of all companies that want to turn costs into long-term investments and production into a real, tangible asset.
