Vacuum Drum Mixing System

A custom system with a 1,200 L chamber, designed to mix liquids and viscous products in their drums under controlled vacuum and help remove entrained air and gases from the mixture.

Vacuum pumping speed65 m³/h
Ultimate vacuum0.5 mbar
FUNCTION

Mixes drum contents under vacuum and supports degassing

The drum is placed directly inside the vacuum chamber, allowing the product to be mixed under controlled low pressure without transfer to a separate process vessel. The top-driven mixing assembly is lowered into the product; mixing begins after the door is closed and the chamber is evacuated.

Combining vacuum and mixing in one system helps limit air entrainment during processing and remove trapped gases from the product. This supports safer operation and a more consistent, repeatable mix where air bubbles are undesirable.

The 1,200 L chamber provides working space for the drum and mixing assembly. The 65 m³/h vacuum pump supports a specified ultimate vacuum of 0.5 mbar.

APPLICATIONS

Mixtures requiring air and gas removal

  • Resin, epoxy and composite-material mixtures
  • Adhesives, mastics and sealants
  • Paint, pigment and ink preparation
  • Chemical and technical-liquid formulations
  • Custom processes requiring vacuum degassing in a drum
