While sanitary static mixers are most commonly thought of for the food and beverage industry, it has many other relevant industry applications. Komax is the leader in static mixer technology and has created sanitary solutions to meet the demands of pharmaceutical labs.

Pharmaceutical Industry Needs

The pharmaceutical industry has high sanitary requirements, similar to the food and beverage industry. Not all equipment is suitable for laboratory use as it could contaminate the process and more importantly the medicine. The medical industry must maintain the lowest possible germ count within the lab.
The usage of inline mixing equipment within the production of pharmaceuticals and medical devices deal with a higher level of intricacy than other industries, as they specialize in the process. Inline mixing is more than just combining simple raw ingredients, it is also about homogenization, uniform output, expediting heat transfer, and more. No one design fits all when it comes to these applications.

Key Features of the Sanitary Static Mixer

In addition to being the perfect answer to the hygiene component, they also have several other features that make them a preferred solution. The sanitary static mixer is easy to install and use, it is an affordable option, with little to no maintenance.
Another key feature that sets the sanitary mixer apart is that it is electropolished and has removable elements so that cleaning is fast and easy. It also has the option for clean-in-place (CIP) to minimize the downtime of disassembly while still maintaining hygiene standards.
The static mixer can also be comprised of other materials like metal alloy and Hastelloy C276 depending upon the specifications required.

What Makes the Komax Solution the Best Option?

The Komax sanitary static mixer has triple action static mixer elements. These elements give the highest level of mixing when compared to traditional static mixers. They provide two-by-two division, cross current impingements mixing, and back mixing, which generates high mixing efficiency and low-pressure loss.
The mixing can be continuous or semi-continuous (batch) basis so that the product gets the best mixing it requires. Results are highly predictable and they assure product quality and uniformity.
