Engineering
In addition to standard machines and units we offer individual procedural solutions for your specialized mixing tasks. Our long-standing experience in machine and plant construction for clients in varying application ranges as well as numerous innovations and advancements are the foundation for a successful collaboration.
Your tasks and process goals are the main priority for our experts and design engineers. We work with you to determine the criteria that are important for the development of your machine or plant. Meeting specific customer demands such as a design suited for the pharmaceutical industry or an explosion-proof execution is self-evident for us.
The desired dispersion degree of a mixture as well as the achieved quality and characteristics of the final product are already tested during the development phase at the IKA pilot plant station. We will gladly contribute to the optimization of your production processes and help you to prevent a loss of raw materials, unnecessary energy or time. If you decide on a turn-key plant, we will take care of the basic and detail engineering as well as the necessary coordination with sub-suppliers, including commissioning and training of your employees.
From idea to solution
We work with you to optimize your current mixing tasks or to develop completely new solutions for the production of your products. IKA pilot plant station allows us to simulate what will be put into effect later in your production process. We will help you determine the deciding parameters necessary to ensure the desired quality of the resulting product.
IKA pilot plant station consists of a vast array of different machines and plants, measuring and analytical devices, and software. The pilot plant has influenced the concept and design of many of our machines and their tools.
Searching for a suitable machine for your application? At IKA pilot plant station you can test out several mixing systems with a variety of tools. Our chemical engineers look forward to assisting and advising you during and after the experiments. This way an optimal solution for your specific mixing task can be determined.
You will be surprised at the results that can be achieved with IKA inline systems. Difficult mixing tasks that required multiple steps can accomplished with a single pass through one system. Our employees' experience, creativity, and competence as well as a pleasant working environment tremendously add to your success.
