5L Laboratory Planetary Vacuum Mixer with Cantilever Lifting Bucket for Lithium Battery Slurry Mixing

Product Overview

This laboratory planetary vacuum mixer is designed for powder and liquid mixing, wetting, and dispersion in common battery chemistries. Its planetary mixing architecture combines controlled agitation with high-speed dispersion to produce homogeneous slurry formulations. The cantilever lifting bucket arrangement supports practical vessel handling, while the available working volume range accommodates laboratory development and pilot-scale preparation.

The equipment is particularly suitable for lithium battery slurry mixing, including electrode formulations containing active materials, conductive additives, binders, and solvents. It is also valuable for advanced materials, ceramics, powder metallurgy, academic research, and other processes involving highly viscous compounds. The 5L working-volume configuration is supported by a broader platform with effective capacities from 0.7L to 10L.

Designed for demanding process conditions, this unit supports materials with viscosity up to 1.2 million cP. Stainless steel material-contact components, jacketed temperature-control capability, adjustable mixing and dispersion speeds, and closely controlled tool clearances help provide repeatable processing and dependable laboratory operation.

Key Features

• Planetary Mixing Architecture: The planetary mechanism promotes circulation throughout the vessel, helping distribute powders and liquids consistently in high-viscosity battery slurry formulations.

• High-Viscosity Processing: The system is suitable for process viscosities up to 1.2 million cP, supporting demanding formulations that require substantial torque and controlled movement.

• Integrated High-Speed Dispersion: A serrated dispersion disc provides high-speed shear for breaking agglomerates and improving the distribution of conductive materials, powders, and other fine additives.

• Cantilever Lifting Bucket Design: The lifting-bucket configuration is suited to laboratory workflows that require vessel access, loading, unloading, and cleaning between formulation trials.

• Jacketed Temperature Management: Single-layer wall and bottom jackets can be used for heating or cooling. This helps manage process temperature when viscosity, solvent behavior, or dispersion quality is temperature-sensitive.

• Stainless Steel Contact Parts: Material-contact components are manufactured from 304 stainless steel, providing a practical balance of corrosion resistance, cleanability, and mechanical durability for laboratory processing.

• Adjustable Operating Speeds: Independent frequency ranges of 5-50Hz support controlled adjustment of the mixing and dispersion processes. The resulting speed flexibility allows users to develop staged or recipe-based procedures.

• Close Tool Clearances: Carefully defined distances between the mixing tools, vessel wall, and vessel bottom support effective material movement while helping reduce stagnant zones in the working area.

• Flexible Vessel Handling: Depending on configuration, the vessel can be manually handled or moved on casters. This allows the equipment to be matched to available laboratory space and batch-handling practices.
