HAUSCHILD ENGINEERING: Laboratory Mixers

The SMART DAC series features variable counter rotation, increased mixing weight and volume, and allows up to 30 min of mixing time.

Hauschild Engineering recently announced a new generation of laboratory dual-asymmetric centrifugal (DAC) mixers. According to the company, the Hauschild SpeedMixer^® SMART DAC series combines craftsmanship and expertise with SMART innovations like real-time temperature control, vacuum-robotic, sensor integration, variable counter rotation, internet of things compliance, QR code reader, remote control, and automatic pot cooling system.

The capacity of the Hauschild SpeedMixer has also been increased, offering more choices for specific applications. The SMART DAC series allows mixing from 250 g up to 1.5 kg and 2 kg in mixing volumes from 310 ml up to 2.8 l.

Up to 20% more powerful vs. the standard LR version, the SMART DAC features variable counter rotation, increased mixing weight and volume, and allows up to 30 min of mixing time. The improved structure also allows mixing at very low speeds without the risk of high vibrations, offering an advantage when, for example, a light powder is one of the components.

“Our new Hauschild SpeedMixer^® SMART DAC Series is designed to be virtually maintenance free, indestructible and to raise the bar on performance,” said Fabio Boccola, CEO of Hauschild GmbH & Co. KG. “New features like the control of the jar’s temperature in combination with an automatic cooling programme or the adaption of specific volume requirements make the new SMART DAC series capable of mixing the unmixable.”

For companies with highly automated laboratories and small quantities production, Hauschild offers a robotic version that also provides a vacuum option for perfect degassing. Up to 500 programs with multi-program function and up to 36 steps with acceleration and deceleration programmable for each step help laboratory employees to increase the precision of their tests and save time.
