§ Mixing system No. 1.
One patented encounter between a pan and a tool, both turning, both governed by the operator. From this single short paragraph the entire house has drawn one hundred and sixty three years of work.
Apparatus
A single drawing,
five variants, seven processes.
Plate I
An intensive mixer, photographed at Hardheim.
The pan rotates clockwise, the eccentric tool rotates against it. Two motors, two consoles, one trained operator at the rail.
§ Principle
A short essay on which the entire apparatus rests.
A pan that turns one way and a mixing tool that turns the other. Two independent motors, two independent speeds, one carefully governed encounter at the wall of the chamber. The geometry is patented, the principle is one hundred and twenty three years old, and the answer it gives is repeatable.
Tip speed up to forty metres per second. Energy is dialled by the operator at the console, not pinned by the cast iron of the housing. The same machine kneads a stiff plastic dough at midnight and disperses a watery slurry at dawn.
The same drawing resolves from one tenth of a litre on the laboratory bench to twelve thousand litres on the production floor. Recipes do not change with the machine. A protocol from the Technikum survives the move to the gigafactory hall.
A sealed housing down to ten millibar. Oxidation, moisture and stray dust are excluded at the source. The Evactherm variant cools, dries and mixes inside the same chamber, in a single recipe step.
§ Sizes
Three size bands, one drawing. The recipe written for a tenth of a litre survives unchanged at twelve thousand. This is the most expensive sentence the house has ever written, and the most useful.
§ Laboratory
0.1 L to 5 L
first trials, formulation, doctoral work
§ Small scale
40 L to 150 L
pilot production and the bridging of recipes
§ Large scale
250 L to 12,000 L
production halls, gigafactory cathode lines, foundry sand circuits
§ Variants
§ Processes
One chamber, seven distinct processes. Each one is logged in the protocol, each one is reachable from the same console.
§ Applications
The intensive mixer answers the same question for a battery cathode line and a foundry sand circuit. Different feeds, the same patient encounter at the wall of the pan.
