A typical FLEX FORMAX LUBRICANTS deck consists of up 6 precision blenders in 1 formulation module, 3 overhead gravimetric dispensing robotic tools, a variety of racks with vials, syringes, heated and disposable pre-formulation vessels and much more.
As alternative a deck with 12 precision blenders (150 ml) in 2 formulation modules is feasible without additional racks.
The FLEX FORMAX LUBRICANTS has the unique capability to exchange Robotic Tools and therefore change it's functionality on the fly, resulting in:
- Several tools on one single platform
- A cost effective robotic platform with a smart footprint
- Easy programming
- The robot brings functionalities as dispensing, analytics and actions to the precision blenders
- Add solids, powders, liquids, highly viscous materials to the milligram resolution while the formulation is being processed
- On the working area FLEX FORMAX has up to 2 formulation modules
The formulation module is a working entity consisting of 6 individually controlled, high precision formulation workstations. Each workstation with its own vessel / blender, feed vessel and syringe pump can be customized and controlled to match almost any formulation workflow.
- Up to 6 formulation blenders (150 mL volume) with independent stirring, scraping, heating and cooling
- Up to 6 feed vessel (50 mL volume) with magnetic stirring and jacket temperature control (up to 90 °C); these can be used e.g. for the preparation of low-viscous pre-mixes
- Easy integration of pH probes
