MSK-SFM-16 Compact Dual-Shaft Planetary Vacuum Mixer with Programmable Speeds up to 600 RPM and Vacuum to -0.08 MPa
The MSK-SFM-16 is engineered to address the challenge of achieving homogeneous slurry mixtures, particularly for applications requiring controlled atmospheres such as glovebox environments with argon or nitrogen. Its compact design allows placement inside gloveboxes, facilitating mixing under inert conditions to prevent contamination or oxidation.
This planetary mixer employs a dual-shaft mechanism that rotates mixing blades in a planetary motion, ensuring thorough and uniform dispersion of components within the slurry. The integrated vacuum pump evacuates air from the mixing container down to -0.08 MPa, effectively removing entrapped gas bubbles that can compromise mixture quality.
Key Features
- Dual-shaft planetary mixing with helical ribbon blades mounted on container lids for efficient slurry homogenization.
- Programmable mixing speed from 0 to 600 rpm with three adjustable speed segments for process flexibility.
- Built-in single-stage vacuum pump achieving vacuum levels between -0.08 and -0.09 MPa to degas mixtures.
- Includes one 150 mL stainless steel 304 vacuum-sealed container; optional 50 mL and 500 mL containers available for varying batch sizes.
- 3.5-inch color touchscreen control panel for easy setting of mixing speed, time (0-600 minutes), and vacuum operation.
- Supports slurry viscosities up to 10,000 centipoise at maximum speed; lower speeds recommended for higher viscosity materials.
- Compact footprint suitable for glovebox integration with inert gas atmospheres.

Ideal for preparing uniform slurries in battery research, materials science, and chemical laboratories where precise mixing and degassing under vacuum are critical. Suitable for use in gloveboxes with inert atmospheres to prevent contamination of sensitive materials.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The standard package includes the MSK-SFM-16 mixer, one 150 mL stainless steel vacuum container with dual helical ribbon blades, and a 24 VDC power adapter. Optional containers of 50 mL and 500 mL sizes can be purchased separately to accommodate different batch volumes.
A heating container option capable of reaching 200°C with precise temperature control is available for heated vacuum mixing; this option includes a 500 mL container and requires an external water cooling chiller to protect mechanical components. Protective shielding is provided with the heating option.
Users should ensure slurry volumes are within 20% to 70% of container capacity for optimal mixing performance. For very small slurry volumes or highly viscous materials, consultation before purchase is recommended. Filters to remove large particles from slurry can be ordered separately to improve mixing quality.
