Description
Used for accurate crushing and homogenisation of ointments, creams, pastes, gels and suspensions, it specialises in reducing particle size for better absorption into the body. The mixer consists of three ceramic rollers. The degree of crushing is determined by the amount of space between the set of rollers. The greater the closure between the rollers, the greater and more accurate the shredding. Two side guides above the rollers help the operator place the compound on the rear end of the rollers. The compound then flows through the mixer to the scraper plate. If the desired level of crushing is achieved, the compound can be collected. If, on the other hand, more crushing is desired, the compound can be taken from the scraper plate and placed back on the mixer. The mixer is cleaned by running a non-abrasive cleaning agent followed by alcohol through the mixer. Finally, the mixer must be switched off and the rollers, turned by hand, can be completely dried.
