Pilot scale high shear mixing
GEA MIXING FORMULA® High Shear Test Mixers
Developing new products and processes can be an expensive and labor-intensive investment for many customers. GEA understands this, and that is why we offer our customers the opportunity to trial their products before scaling up production.
Are you looking to scale-up a new manufacturing process?
Our test mixers range from small to medium scale batches and a wide range of mixing capacities. The test mixers can simulate the operating behavior of full-scale production and can be adapted to run according to your required specifications.
Try before you buy
Before you invest, test!
Customers can choose to test mixing equipment and solutions at GEA test facilities. Featuring state-of-the-art GEA test mixers at our facilities in Germany and Denmark, a pilot study on the GEA high shear mixing technologies can be performed. Our range of high shear mixers supports the processing of high-quality raw materials.
