MSK-SFM-2L-A Tri-Shaft Planetary Vacuum Mixer with 2L Capacity, PLC Touch Control, Vacuum Pump & Water Chiller
The MSK-SFM-2L-A is engineered to address the challenges of mixing viscous and complex materials where uniformity and bubble-free results are critical. It is particularly suited for laboratory preparation of battery electrode slurries such as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO3), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), phosphorus, and ceramic slurries. The mixer’s vacuum environment effectively removes entrapped gases, ensuring high-quality dispersion and homogeneity.
This model employs a tri-shaft planetary mixing mechanism with two stirring blades and one dispersing blade, combined with a spatula to scrape the tank walls. The mixing tank has an effective capacity of 2 liters within a 3-liter total volume, allowing precise control over batch size. A digital PLC touchscreen panel facilitates easy adjustment of stirring and dispersing speeds, optimizing the process for different viscosities up to 5000 mPa·s.
Key Features
- Tri-shaft planetary mixing design ensures thorough and uniform blending under vacuum.
- Vacuum pump included to eliminate gas bubbles and improve slurry quality.
- Water chiller with 9L tank maintains optimal temperature during mixing.
- PLC touchscreen control panel for precise speed and process adjustments.
- Effective mixing capacity of 2 liters with a 3-liter tank volume.
- Stirring speed adjustable from 10 to 150 RPM; dispersing speed from 200 to 5000 RPM.
- Observation window on mixing tank for real-time process monitoring.

Typical Applications
This vacuum mixer is widely used in battery research and development for preparing cathode and anode slurries, especially lithium-ion battery materials. It is also suitable for mixing ceramic slurries, phosphorus compounds, and other viscous materials requiring homogeneous dispersion without air entrapment.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The MSK-SFM-2L-A includes a vacuum pump and a water chiller as standard components to maintain vacuum conditions and temperature control during mixing. Users should observe recommended operating times based on dispersing speed to prevent overheating: less than 1 hour at 8000 RPM, up to 4 hours at 5000 RPM, with continuous operation allowed at 4000 RPM or below. It is advised to add solid powders gradually in feed-batch mode to avoid excessive resistance and local overheating of the mixing blades.
