NETZSCH Planetary Mixer

NETZSCH planetary mixers combine intensive mixing and dispersing action with high process reliability - even for the most demanding applications.

Thanks to the proven planetary system, not only do the mixing tools rotate on their own axes, they orbit a central axis in the stationary mixing container simultaneously as well. These superimposed movements ensure thorough mixing of the container contents – regardless of viscosity or product consistency.

The machines are specially designed for the processing of highly viscous, pasty and temperature-sensitive products. Even the finest powders and very light components can be dispersed into liquids quickly and evenly to the desired fineness.

There are suitable container presses available for complete emptying of the mixing containers - tailored to different container sizes and processing requirements.

This not only minimizes product loss but also considerably reduces the effort required for cleaning. NETZSCH planetary mixers thus offer a versatile, scalable solution for demanding industrial mixing processes - from the laboratory to large-scale production.

Why the System is Convincing

Gentle Processing

Particularly temperature-sensitive materials retain their quality, because the energy input is controlled.

Optimal Dispersion

Extremely fine powders and even very light components are homogeneously distributed and dispersed in a closed process.

Increased Efficiency

Compared to conventional planetary systems, the newest generation shortens the production time by as much as 50%, with consistently high product quality.

ATEX Model

Zone 1/21, Zone 0 with inerting for zone reduction.

Flexibility & Scalability

Across the entire series, all sizes feature variable speeds, heatable/coolable containers, and interchangeable tools – from the laboratory scale at 1 l up to 3 200 l for industrial production plants.

Vacuum Model

Facilitates simultaneous degassing and reduces the air ingress.
