Every Vacuum Mixer Geometry. One Engineering Discipline.
Mix, dry, react and deaerate — in one vessel, under vacuum, validated on your material.
QuantumX designs and manufactures vacuum mixer/dryers in eleven geometries — ribbon, paddle, plow, double cone, V-blender, fluidized zone, high-speed granulator, conical screw and drum for powders; planetary and sigma for pastes. Every machine is engineered around your product, its drying curve measured in trial, and FAT-tested against the same acceptance criteria before it ships.
Nine Powder Geometries — Matched to the Product, Not the Catalog
Shear tolerance, flow behaviour, granulation needs and batch economics decide the geometry. We build all nine, so the recommendation follows your material — and we prove it in trial before quoting.
Vacuum Ribbon Mixers & Dryers
Counter-current double helix in a jacketed vacuum body — the flagship for blending plus drying with the highest heat-transfer area per litre. Full PRBD/PVRD spec tables published.
Blend + dry · 5 – 30,000 L »
Vacuum Paddle Mixers & Dryers
Heated shaft and paddles raise drying area up to 90% — the workhorse for filter cakes, sludges and battery materials that pass through a sticky phase.
Heated agitator · NMP recovery »
Vacuum Plow Mixers & Dryers
Mechanically fluidized bed with chopper heads — wet granulation and drying in one vessel for cohesive, fibrous and high-liquid-load products.
Mix · granulate · dry »
Vacuum Double Cone Mixers & Dryers
Rotating vessel, zero internal agitators — the reference for drying APIs and crystals with no shear, total discharge and fast validated cleaning.
Zero shear · pharma standard »
Vacuum V-Blenders & Dryers
Twin-shell split-and-recombine tumbling with jacketed shells — blend, dry and deaerate pharma powders in the same rotation cycle.
Diffusive · intensifier option »
Vacuum Fluidized Zone Mixers & Dryers
Twin counter-rotating shafts blend in weightless free fall — uniformity in 30–90 seconds at near-zero shear, then dry under vacuum.
30 – 90 s blends »
Vacuum Hi-Speed Granulator Mixers & Dryers
Single-pot processing: high-shear granulation with endpoint detection, then in-bowl vacuum drying — OEB 4/5 containment capable.
One-pot · pharma granulation »
Vacuum Conical Mixers & Dryers
Orbiting-screw cone — the gentlest agitated drying available, with 10–100% fill flexibility, total discharge and large-batch capacity.
Gentlest agitated dryer »
Vacuum Drum Mixers & Dryers
Rotating jacketed drum with engineered flights — one polished product surface, near-zero shear, large volumes. Catalysts and coated granules.
Simplest product path »When the Product Stops Flowing, We Keep Mixing
Vacuum Planetary Mixers & Dryers
Orbiting blades sweep the full bowl at viscosities beyond 6 million cP, with deep-vacuum deaeration to ≤ 10 mbar and an optional high-speed disperser. The reference machine for battery electrode slurries, adhesives, sealants and energetic formulations.
> 6M cP · ≤ 10 mbar deaeration »
Vacuum Sigma Mixers & Dryers
Counter-rotating Z-blades knead the heaviest doughs and masses made — devolatilising, drying and deaerating as the mass develops, with an extrusion-screw discharge for product too stiff to pour. Electrode pastes, sealant masses, gum bases.
Z-blade kneading · screw discharge »All eleven QuantumX geometries are also built as standard atmospheric mixers — same engineered agitator, jacket and validation, without the vacuum system. Standard ribbon mixers & blenders are documented in full with PRB/PVR spec tables; ask for standard-model specifications of any other geometry. For steady-state duties, Continuous Mixers & Dryers run to 60 t/h.
The Vacuum Dryer Is Only Half the Machine. The Other Half Is Proof.
Any fabricator can wrap a jacket around a vessel and bolt on a pump. What decides your cycle time and product quality is engineering: heated area per litre, agitator geometry against your flow behaviour, evaporation rate at your solvent and vacuum level, and the endpoint that says the batch is done.
- Trial before quotation. Your material runs on a pilot machine; the drying curve, blend CV and endpoint are measured, not asserted.
- Numbers on the order. Heated area, vacuum level, cycle time and acceptance criteria are written into the purchase order.
- FAT against the same criteria. The production machine repeats the trial method before shipment. Same tracer, same curve, no substitutions.
- One manufacturer. Vessel, agitator, vacuum train, controls and containment from one shop — a Proc-X Manufacturing Group brand. No vendor fragmentation, no split warranties.
Drag the pressure down and watch the boiling point fall — that curve is the business case for vacuum processing. Heat-sensitive product dries at temperatures a conventional dryer cannot approach, while solvents come back on the condenser instead of leaving through a stack.
