Major Advances in Magnetic Mixing Technology Permit its Broad Industrial Use

Magnetic mixing technology stands out with its many advantages compared to mechanically sealed agitators. In particular, the lower risk of contamination and the resulting cost reduction are powerful arguments for the application of magnetic agitators. The development of magnetic mixing technology has progressed in giant strides in recent years, making its use possible for a wide range of stirring processes. Scaling up mixing processes to industrial level is a major challenge because of the conflicting demands on the mixing time, shear forces and hygienic design.
