The LMX
Lab Mixer

The LMX Lab Mixer is a solid choice for small-scale production, R&D, quality assurance, and more. Suitable for a wide range of products, the LMX is designed with versatility and reliability in mind. For lab milling, find the EMI Lab Media Mill. And if you are ready to scale up production, the VHS High-Speed Disperser and VLS Low-Speed Mixer are common options.

  • Robust, durable design
  • Simple operation, easy to clean
  • Process from 1 quart up to 5 gallons
  • Direct-coupled shaft design for enhanced power and torque
  • Touch screen control for quick view of mixer status and ability to adjust as needed
  • Single or three-phase power options – no need for compressed air or hydraulics
  • Custom blade options to fit your application – high-speed (high-shear, immersion mill, rotor stator, poly blade, etc.) or low-speed (bow-tie, axial flow, etc.)
