CMC mixing systems

Advanced solutions for hydrocolloid dispersion

CMC mixing system by INOXPA is designed to efficiently disperse hydrocolloids such as carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), carbopol, pectin, guar gum, xanthan gum and various starches. These additives are crucial in industries ranging from food processing to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, where they act as thickeners, stabilizers, gelling agents and emulsifiers.

Why choose a CMC mixing system manufactured by INOXPA?

Traditional mixing methods often lead to the formation of lumps when hydrocolloids come into contact with liquid. This makes achieving a homogeneous mixture difficult. The INOXPA CMC system overcomes this challenge with an integrated high-shear rotor-stator mixer that ensures rapid dispersion and smooth consistency.
