MIB: a turnkey solution for materials chemistry
Sofraden has developed the MIB horizontal paddle mixer to address particularly demanding applications, notably in materials chemistry. These machines stand out for their robustness, versatility, ability to process complex formulations, and very short mixing times (under 2 minutes for most simple recipes).
Another major advantage is the integration of clean-in-place (CIP) systems. This feature optimizes cleaning operations, reduces downtime, and ensures a high level of hygiene that is particularly critical in certain industries.
With numerous references in materials chemistry, the MIB range stands out as a reliable solution for complex industrial environments where the requirements for quality, repeatability, and safety are high.
Sofragir: the benchmark for sensitive products
Alongside the MIB, Sofraden relies on the Sofragir rotating-drum mixer to meet the constraints of fragile products. In sectors such as food processing and certain chemical applications, preserving particle integrity is essential.
The design of Sofragir mixers ensures homogeneous blending while limiting the mechanical stress placed on the products. The result: optimal mixing quality without material degradation. This expertise makes it a solution particularly well suited to sensitive powders, granules, and complex formulations where texture and structure must be preserved.
Beyond process performance, Sofraden has built a strong safety requirement into its equipment from the design stage onward. The captive-key interlock system is a concrete illustration of this: it prevents the tank from being opened until the machine has come to a complete stop. This approach effectively protects operators during critical phases of access to the equipment.
Global expertise with international reach
Sofraden also supports its customers in projects to replace existing mixers. Whether the equipment has reached end of life, or the need is for increased capacity or improved performance, the company handles the entire project, from needs analysis through to commissioning.
Our international presence is built on a strong capacity for adaptation: understanding local needs, complying with international standards, and providing personalized technical support. Every project thus becomes a tailor-made collaboration, regardless of sector or geographic region.
