Precision on a Small Scale: The New Cone Mixer

In modern concrete and building materials development, the quality of testing technology is increasingly decisive for subsequent success on an industrial scale. Especially in the laboratory, where formulations are developed, optimized, and validated, precise and reproducible mixing processes are essential. The Kniele KKM-5|1 cone mixer addresses precisely this need and offers a technically sophisticated solution for research, development, and quality assurance.

With the Kniele KKM-5|1, Kniele brings its mixing expertise specifically to the field of laboratory, development, and small-batch applications. The mixer was specially designed to process high-quality, expensive, or rare materials – even in quantities ranging from five liters down to just one liter – efficiently, reproducibly, and with consistently high quality.

Its well-engineered, conical vessel geometry enables a very high mixing quality even with very small batches. This makes the KKM-5|1 an ideal solution for experiments, formulation development, material testing, and process optimization. At the same time, it impresses with its modular design, small footprint, mobility, and high flexibility in terms of equipment and retrofitting.

 

Performance like on a Large Scale

Thanks to its programmable control system, mixing cycles can be precisely repeated – a decisive advantage wherever reliable results and maximum reproducibility are required. The electrically operated lid, easy accessibility, and removable mixing vessel also ensure quick sample extraction, easy cleaning, and high ease of use.

The Kniele KKM-5|1 is thus far more than just a small-batch mixer: it is a precise development tool for demanding materials and processes.

The advantages at a glance:

Precision for the smallest quantities

Programmable control for exactly identical mixing cycles

Adjustable agitator for easy addition of additives

Quick sample removal

Electric lifting mechanism

Easy cleaning

Mobile thanks to integrated casters

Modular design for quick tool changes.

 

Technical Specifications:

Mixing capacity: 5 liters

Minimum mixing volume: up to approx. 1 liter

Width: less than 800 mm

Height when closed: 1,550 mm

Height when open: 1,950 mm.

 

The Kniele laboratory mixer is far more than a traditional laboratory device. It is a precise tool for innovation in concrete and building materials technology. With its combination of flexibility, reproducibility, and practical mixing technology, it provides a reliable foundation for the development of sustainable materials – and thus serves as a key building block for the entire industry.
