When processes involve extremely viscous pastes, semi-solids, or high-fill slurries, a double planetary mixer is the proven choice. PerMix UK provides machines tailored to British and European industries where regulatory compliance, hygiene, and reliability are non-negotiable.

Advantages for UK/EU manufacturers :

Consistent mixing of tough, high-viscosity compounds
Configurable with vacuum, inert gas, or jackets for precise process control
Designed for GMP, ATEX/DSEAR, UKCA and CE requirements
Supported locally: FAT/SAT, commissioning, service, and spares

Planetary Blades

Two robust blades rotate on their own axes while orbiting around the vessel.
This dual motion kneads, folds, and drives material into continuous flow, even at viscosities exceeding 1,000,000 cP.

Optional High-Speed Disperser

A central disperser shaft may be added for simultaneous powder dispersion, deagglomeration, or liquid incorporation.
Particularly useful for pigments, fillers, or fine powders.

Seals & Containment

All seals external or protected by purge/inerting systems.
ATEX-rated sealing packages for hazardous zones available.

Vacuum & Thermal Options

Full vacuum capability to remove entrapped air, volatile solvents, or enable degassing.
Heating/cooling jackets (dimple, half-pipe, coil) for precise temperature regulation.

Discharge

Hydraulic lift of the mixing head for vessel changeover.
Material discharged by gravity, auger, or discharge press for zero-flow products.

Heavy-duty drive systems: sized for extreme viscosities
Vacuum/inerting: for deaeration or volatile control
Heating/cooling jackets: for controlled processing
PLC/HMI automation: with recipe management and data logging
Explosion-proof builds: ATEX compliant
Material flexibility: 304 / 316L stainless as standard; Hastelloy, Duplex, titanium optional
Cleaning features: removable blades, CIP spray nozzles, smooth welds, polished finishes
Discharge aids: hydraulic press-out units, ram discharge, or auger screw systems

PerMix Double Planetary Mixers are used widely across sectors:

Adhesives & Sealants: epoxies, silicones, polyurethane mastics
Battery Materials: electrode pastes, slurries, binders (lithium-ion, solid-state)
Food & Confectionery: caramel, gum, fillings, high-solids pastes
Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical: ointments, creams, high-viscosity actives
Specialty Chemicals: pigments, catalysts, ceramic slurries

Example: In a UK battery R&D facility, a double planetary mixer with vacuum and jacketed vessel is used to blend high-viscosity cathode slurries while removing trapped gases to ensure uniform electrode performance.

Handles extreme viscosities: where other mixers fail
Vacuum + disperser integration: reduces process steps
Improved product quality: degassed, uniform batches
Flexible discharge systems: for pastes, doughs, and slurries
Validation-friendly design: hygienic finishes, documentation support
Regulatory assurance: UKCA, CE, ATEX, GMP-ready builds
Local engineering & lifecycle support: in the UK

To configure the right unit, consider:

Target viscosity & rheology
Batch size & throughput
Thermal and moisture control needs
Powder/liquid incorporation requirements
Cleaning & GMP validation criteria
Integration with downstream systems
Hazard zoning (ATEX/DSEAR classification)
