RAM MIXING
BENEFITS

Virtually Any Material

RAM’s intense yet gentle technology processes materials of nearly any particle size or behavior. Whether cohesive, agglomerated, nano-scale, or temperature sensitive, RAM’s features can control temperatures, apply vacuum, dry or spray coat one particle on another, and effectively process any combination of powders, liquids, highly viscous or solids-loaded materials.

Single Technology Platform

The world’s top pharmaceutical firms already rely on RAM’s ability to instantly switch from one set of ingredient characteristics to another, while changing only the processing vessel and the mixing parameters. Cross-contamination, excess movement, and material handling are minimized.

Sound Energy Does the Work

RAM technology uses low-frequency sound energy to thoroughly mix particles of often vastly different characteristics. Mix times of hours are frequently reduced to minutes and previously unmixable ingredients are dispersed uniformly and thoroughly.

PCCA RAM Mixer Information and Demonstration

The PCCA RAM Mixer is demonstrated and explained at PCCA conference.

 

Dissimilar Powder Mixing

Dry ingredients can be difficult to thoroughly and consistently mix, particularly when the particles are of different sizes and characteristics. To illustrate effective and rapid mixing, 10 grams of fumed silica is blended with 100 grams of sand. Completed specimens exhibit no airborne fumed silica, demonstrating uniform blending at an order of magnitude difference in particle size.

 

Milling and Nano Coating

Coating larger particles with smaller ones is a common processing application, and milling is often a part of the same process. In this video, agglomerated carbon black particles are simultaneously milled to nano size particles that coat the plastic pellets completely in just a few seconds. The high speed video clearly illustrates the dispersion of carbon black particles, their de-agglomeration, and progressive and comprehensive coating of the plastic pellets.
