Winkworth Mixers - taking R & D to the next level

Introducing the new 7 litre Z Blade ‘MZ7’ mixer from Winkworth – the UK’s largest industrial mixer manufacturer. The MZ7 mixer presents an exciting new development for companies who wish to conduct pre-production scale up trials in-house. Its size fits neatly between a laboratory and full size industrial mixer enabling small scale volume production for extended trials and acceptance.

The MZ7 mixer is ideal for mixing, kneading and blending of materials for development such as chewing gum, sugar paste, silicon, soaps and flavour development. Its 7 litre mixing capacity is able to reliably deliver the mixing characteristics of a much larger machine which is beneficial for testing purposes when product and investments require scaling up.

This high quality stainless steel mixer benefits from very easy cleaning – it can be cleaned in just minutes - not hours. The mixer can be used for repeat small batches and this ‘easy clean’ function means that changing a mix is a quick process. Its endplate and blades can be easily removed by the operator within the laboratory allowing for thorough cleaning which helps to eliminate potentially damaging 'cross contamination' between batches.

As Tim Simpson, Sales Director explains:

“The ability of an unfamiliar technician or operator to strip down & remove the blades for thorough cleaning in just a few minutes is a key benefit of this Winkworth Z blade mixer. Combining this with a data logging facility makes this an essential and versatile addition to any R & D Laboratory.

The data logging function not only enables the recording of important parameters but also stores the changes in the actual mixing process. This data can then be easily downloaded for subsequent analysis in the form of graphs, trends and statistics and for data management/distribution purposes.

This mixer is perfect for those wishing to innovate, research and develop mixes in-house or for small scale production. The addition of this new mixer to our Lab Z blade range offers our customers even more choice and flexibility when choosing a mixer for in-house research and development”.
