The first part of choosing the right pharmaceutical mixture is to consider the product that you need to create. For instance, you will use a very different pharmaceutical mixer if you need to create an emulsion than if you needed to mix an ophthalmic solution. Mixing cough syrup ingredients is very different from creating creams or ointments. The shape and size of the mixing vessel, the shape and size of the impeller and even the capacity of the motor will hinge on the type of pharmaceutical you are creating.

There are also different types of mixer used in the pharmaceutical industry. For instance, a static mixer uses "motionless" mixing technology. This is also known as inline static mixer. They work by having tubes, fins or other obstructions within the mixing vessel through which the fluids flow and blend.

A shear mixer, on the other hand, is very different. These are often used for emulsification and are generally used when liquid, solid or gas needs to be mixed with another liquid with which it would not ordinarily be able to be combined. A planetary mixer is another type of pharmaceutical mixer - one of the most widely used, in fact. These types of mixer are often used for basic mixing of different components and are good solutions for mixing ointments and creams, pastes, and heat sensitive products.

Ointment mixers are designed specifically to work with homogenous mixing requirements usually found with creating ointments and creams. These are capable of mixing liquids with liquids, as well as liquids with solids.

These are only a few examples of the different pharmaceutical mixer designs on the market today. Finding the optimal solution for your particular needs will certainly require that you know your application, but you will also need an expert hand in determining other things. Once your basic needs have been identified, you need to address questions of batch quantity and mixing vessel size, how those concerns affect the size and power of the motor and the shape of the impeller, as well as other important details.

The best option here is to work with an expert company. As there is no single solution that meets the needs of different pharmaceutical mixing jobs, tailor made solutions are the best option. This will ensure that you have the best mixing equipment for your application, as well as a solution that will stand up to real use in a pharmaceutical production environment. Using a motor/impeller/vessel combination not made for your needs can result in premature motor failure, incorrect mixing, and many other concerns. Working with a design and manufacturing company to create the optimum pharmaceutical mixer is the best option.
