With the T.K. Filmix, an upper motor spins mixing
paddles that are about the same diameter as the tank to disperse
material and form a thin film. When the spinning thin film is completely
removed, a hollow column is formed in the center.
Then, let us consider what happens when a dry, powder substance
is added to the column. It is taken up by the air in the middle
of the column generated by the spinning paddles to create a strong
cyclone flow so when it comes into contact with the high-speed spinning
film, single particles are mixed for an extremely effective, stable
mixture. Examples are shown below. These examples are test data
result for "Powder Filmix" for the purpose of demonstrating
the special features in mixing of fluid and solid material.
Solution of Rheology Modifiers
High polymers such as rheology modifiers most commonly represented
by CMC and Carbopol. Because high polymers are highly soluble in
water, normally the powder has a tendency to form clumps in contact
with water and only the surface dissolves, forming what is called
"clumps," that are difficult to dissolve. In some cases,
it can take up to 24 hours to dissolve these clumps. However, by
mixing before adding to water using the T.K. Filmix mixing technology,
high polymers dissolved in water, evenly and much faster with a
smooth, even texture absent of clumps.

Greater Efficiency
of Fast Reactions
This is a test to combine a saccharide with pharmaceuticals in water
soluble solution. Because a saccharide is readily soluble in water,
it dissolves almost completely before there is any contact to the
medication under regular mixing conditions. Therefore, when a propeller
type method of mixing is used, generally an excess of saccharide
must be used to take into consideration the volume that will be
dissolved in water. The end result is that 99.9% of the most costly
material is wasted. By using a Filmix, however, the excess can
be reduced by 50% and still effectively generate the desired effect
while reducing waste of a costly material. In other words, Filmix
breaks down the saccharide (dried powder) into the a size that is
readily reactive and when added to entire fluid at high speeds,
it is possible promote a reaction of saccharide and un-reacted medicine
to a very high degree.
