Lancaster Products K1-Lab Mixer Offers Versatile, Scalable Mixing Solutions

The Lancaster Products K1-Lab Mixer is the company’s flagship product for testing, experimentation and new process development. This versatile, durable machine is also suitable for small-scale production.

K1-Lab Mixers have consistently provided a high return on investment in product development. They add value not only during proof-of-concept testing but throughout the entire development and production process. Scaling up to larger production volumes is seamless, as the Lancaster K3-10 Series mixers use the same counter-current high-shear mixing action. This allows for efficient process transfer with minimal mix design adjustments.

The K1-Lab Mixer enables users to optimize formulations and experiment with small batches without disrupting production or wasting large amounts of material. Like all Lancaster Mixers, it features a counter-current mixing design, with a clockwise-rotating pan pulling material into a counterclockwise high-speed rotor. Both rotor and pan speeds are infinitely adjustable.

This mixing design improves mix quality while allowing for pelletizing in a single step. It also reduces processing time and ensures a more homogeneous batch.

With its rugged construction and various rotor styles, the K1-Lab Mixer is an ideal choice for nearly any batch mixing application.

Lancaster Products also offers full-scale lab services, from proof-of-concept testing to large-scale production batches. Equipment rental options allow customers to test mixers in their own facilities before committing to a purchase.
