A one-to-ten index can serve as a valuable tool to judge mixing intensity

Inexpensive changes may enhance results from long-installed equipment

Picking the wrong parameter to hold steady can lead to problems

Calculating the time actually needed can lead to economic and operational benefits.

While most mixers can provide a long service life — for instance, some are still operating after more than 30 years — mechanical problems can shorten life or even break parts....

Use this systematic approach to successfully scale-up mixing processes even without geometric similarity.
