Scale testing and pilot plants

Over a period of many years Mixtec has developed new impeller systems and improved on existing agitator duties in all major industries.
This enables Mixtec to produce custom made equipment and cost-effective solutions to your mixing tasks.
Mixtec’s laboratory can guide you in the correct selection of impeller systems as well as in-tank items such as sparger design and baffle arrangements. For applications involving specific media a pilot plant can be produced to be tested on site.

Pilot testing is executed in several steps:

  • evaluation of the application with focus on mechanical and process drawbacks,
  • design of an optimal full-scale solution,
  • confirmation of the solution with CFD,
  • scaling down and pilot testing,
  • adjustments of the full-scale solution with confirmation via CFD.


Using established scale up procedures accurate and predictable process results are obtained. Mixtec is in constant contact with operators of their equipment around the world in order to offer the very best solution to your agitation needs.
