About Mixing and Reaction Technology

Technology and Customer Testing facilities

Sulzer Chemtech can offer a variety of pilot testing services at their headquarters in Winterthur, Switzerland. Whenever physical properties, phase behavior or product purities are not known to the extent required for reliable design, Sulzer Chemtech has the capability to perform test work tailored to the specific project requirement and customer objectives.

The pilot installations are large enough to enable our experts to reliably scale-up the process to commercial size.

Pilot plants and test rigs for the following applications are available for customer testing:

Extrusion and Devolatilization of Polymers
Admixing additives into highly viscous melts
Extrusion and Foam Injection Molding with physical blowing agents
Heat Exchange for low and highly viscous products
Dispersion of immiscible liquids and gas/liquid
Mixing/blending of any kind of low and high/low viscous products

This not only requires modern pilot plants, but also analytical methods to verify product quality. Sulzer Chemtech uses the LIF method for measuring mixer performance. It enables our engineers and scientists to directly measure the homogeneity of the mixing effect.
