Thinky Corp. (Kennesaw, GA) has announced that it is marketing the AR-250 all-in-one mixer/disperser/de-aerator in the U.S. By rotating the materials container while revolving it on a set radius, a continuous centrifugal force (400 G or more) is produced which mixes and simultaneously forces out the existent bubbles in the materials.

The mixer provides urethane/silicon degassing in minutes, disperses silver/copper/solder paste in seconds—even in frozen conditions, and mixes adhesive and sealant with no air bubble in minutes. The equipment is useful for manufacturers who use precision electronics technologies.

Using the multi-centrifugal motion principle, the model mixes ingredients and compounds in seconds to minutes with no damage of material due to its non-contact mixing structure. The machine can mix viscous material, such as clay, in 7 minutes and reduces or eliminates the use of a solvent/emulsifier.

Other models, ranging in capacity from 50 ml 100g to 3L 5kg are available. The ARV-200 and ARV-10000 (13L 16kg) are capable of complete high-speed removal of bubbles in sizes as small as sub-microns.
