7 REASONS RAM MIXERS ARE THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY OF CHOICE

 

ResonantAcoustic® Mixing (RAM) enables Research and Development organizations and institutions to develop new high performing materials with ease, scaled up to pilot and production volumes.

A broad envelope of disparate materials can be mixed, dry or wet, with unparalleled processing speed and superior distribution. The process is highly repeatable and can be run continuously or in batch.

A fast and effective resonant acoustic mixing process, RAM systems are the preferred embodiment for many patents and new products globally. A single piece of acoustic mixing equipment can replace blade mixers, ribbon blenders, roll mills, twin screw mixers, sieves and other equipment for reduced footprint and capital.

Resonant Acoustic Mixing (RAM) is highly effective in research and development (R&D) settings because it enables fast, repeatable, and flexible mixing without many of the limitations associated with traditional mixers. Here are the key reasons RAM excels in R&D environments:

---

🔬 1. No Scale-Up Surprises

• RAM uses the same physical mechanism across all scales—from grams to hundreds of liters.
• This eliminates scale-up problems common in R&D-to-production transitions, allowing scientists to prototype with confidence.

---

⚗️ 2. Mixes Any Material — Any Viscosity or Phase

• Solids, liquids, pastes, powders, slurries, and combinations thereof can be mixed in the same system.
• RAM handles multi-phase systems without adjustments, perfect for testing a wide range of formulations quickly.

---

⏱ 3. Rapid and Reproducible Mixing

• RAM provides uniform, high-quality mixing in minutes—often much faster than traditional methods.
• Shorter mix times increase experiment throughput and accelerate innovation cycles.

---

🧪 4. Non-invasive and Contamination-Free

• Materials are mixed in their final containers or custom vessels, so there’s no cross-contamination.
• Great for sensitive compounds, sterile formulations, or iterative testing where purity is critical.

---

🧠 5. Precise Process Control

• RAM systems allow exact control of mixing energy, time, and temperature.
• Enables high repeatability and fine-tuning, which is essential when dialing in new formulations or performing DOE (Design of Experiments).

---

🌱 6. Supports Green and Mechanochemical Chemistry

• Solvent-free mixing is easy with RAM, enabling mechanochemistry and sustainable R&D practices.
• Important for labs focused on ESG goals or developing environmentally friendly processes.

---

🔁 7. Rapid Iteration & Flexibility

• No cleaning or reassembly needed between tests when using disposable or closed containers.
• Ideal for screening large numbers of formulations or conditions in short timeframes.

Bottom Line: RAM empowers R&D teams to mix faster, scale seamlessly, maintain purity, and explore complex systems—all while reducing waste, cost, and development time.
