The Symex CML 500 is a high-performance vacuum homogenizing mixer for
the production of demanding products in the pharmaceutical and
cosmetic industries.
The system combines mixing, dispersing, homogenizing, heating, cooling
and vacuum processing in a closed system, enabling precise and
reproducible production – from pilot scale to industrial
application.
Such systems are specially designed for complex processes with high
quality requirements.
Technical Highlights of the Symex CML 500
