Title:	New Technologies Optimize Mixing Processes: Advanced designs and controls achieve complete mixing while reducing batch times.
Authors:	LePree, Joy
Source:	Chemical Engineering. Jul2026, Vol. 133 Issue 7, p10-13. 4p.
Subjects:	Mixing machinery, Intelligent control systems, Chemical process industries, Batch processing, Energy consumption, Process optimization, Impellers
Abstract:	The article focuses on recent advancements in mixing technologies and controls within the chemical process industries (CPI) aimed at achieving complete, consistent mixing while reducing batch times. Key developments include the shift from traditional batch vessel mixing to inline and quasi-continuous systems, which offer improved process intensification, reproducibility, and energy efficiency. Equipment providers such as ystral, Munson Machinery, EKATO, ROSS, Zeppelin Systems, and Sulzer Chemtech are implementing innovations like vacuum-assisted powder incorporation, advanced impeller designs, intelligent control systems, and static mixers to enhance product quality and process robustness. Additionally, hybrid approaches combining batch flexibility with continuous output are emerging to optimize production efficiency and consistency. [Extracted from the article]
