Using the latest mixing technology, SPX's Lightnin's vast experience, and masses of historical process data; the facility has proven to provide results for full scale production that helps assure customers that they are getting the performance they need from their mixing process. The transport of test product samples to the facility can, however, prove troublesome. Changing environmental conditions and even time to transport can affect the properties of the sample and, as such, test results.
To enhance the customer experience of working with SPX Lightnin and give even greater peace of mind of optimised process performance, SPX Lightnin has designed a Minilab that is portable enough to extend a majority of the capabilities available at its high-tech Rochester laboratory to a customer's site.

The Lightnin Minilab can be adapted to most configurations needed by an individual customer mixing application and is designed to work with virtually any global power utility frequency and voltage. One of SPX Lightnin's application engineers supports customers on site throughout the testing period to help further ensure optimum process parameters are determined for the specific application needs. Customers will be able to learn more about what it takes to mix a product during testing and look at different scenarios for their process. With the support of SPX Lightnin experts, they will be able to adapt their thinking, solve processing problems and define a mixing solution together without compromise.
SPX's Lightnin brand offers a wide range of mixers to meet broad application and industry needs. The Minilab service covers most of these and so can be used in almost any application and for almost any mixture. Included within the range are the highly reliable 70 Series mixers. These mixers are well proven across chemical processing, mining, drilling mud, water and waste water markets and, with many standardised configurations, are one of the most configurable and adaptable models available in the Lightnin brand portfolio.
A new update to the 70 Series offers an extended mechanical seal range to give the series even more flexibility. The new standard seal has an integral bearing and offers a competitive solution that helps extend shaft length capability and seal life. The 70 Series is widely used throughout the world and is now also available with imperial NEMA or metric IEC motors.
Both the new Minilab service and the enhancements to the popular 70 Series mixers are examples of SPX Lightnin's continuous program of research and development in response to customer needs. Customers will be able to view the new Minilab equipment and a cutaway model of the enhanced 70 Series mixer at the ACHEMA exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany from June 15-19; where SPX Lightnin's mixing process experts will also be on hand to discuss specific application challenges and needs.
