The combination of centrifugal forces acting in different planes enables an efficient mixing process for Orion Engineered Carbons.
Many companies active in the polymer, coatings, and printing ink industries opt for traditional mixers, three-roll mills, or even shaker mixers as well as dissolvers when producing homogeneous coatings. Orion Engineered Carbons additionally relies on the Hauschild SpeedMixer® centrifugal mixer for the homogenization of liquid components. Drawing on this mixing technology, homogeneous multi-material compounds such as liquids, highly viscous pastes, and powders can reportedly be produced in just a few minutes without stirring tools.
Orion Engineered Carbons is a global supplier of carbon blacks. The long-established Luxembourg-based company, with sites and facilities in the U.S., Germany, and China, produces a wide range of carbon blacks (e.g., high-performance specialty gas blacks, acetylene blacks, furnace blacks, lamp blacks, thermal blacks, and others). These materials are used to tint, color, and enhance the performance of polymers, plastics, paints and coatings, inks and toners, textile fibers, adhesives and sealants, tires, and other mechanical rubber goods.
