VISIMIX NEW PRODUCT: SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
VisiMix has introduced a new Sensitivity Analysis module that allows users to compare how varying a single
input parameter impacts process results—enabling faster optimization and deeper insight. This tool helps
users understand the influence of key variables such as RPM, temperature, or concentration on mixing
performance and process outcomes.It’s especially useful during scale-up or process development to select
optimal operating conditions with minimal experimentation.
We present two case studies demonstrating the use of VisiMix LAMINAR for scaling up paint production and VisiMix RSDE for
shampoo homogenization, ensuring consistent quality and efficient scale-up.
Case Study-1: Paint Production Scaling UP Using VisiMix Laminar
Scaling up paint production from laboratory scale to industrial scale is a crucial step in ensuring consistent product quality. In
the laboratory, mixing is performed in small tanks under controlled conditions, making it easier to achieve uniform dispersion
and to break down aggregates. However, when the same formulation is transferred to large-volume production tanks, the mixing
behavior changes significantly due to variations in geometry, flow patterns, and energy distribution.
For paint production, complete treatment of the media is essential to achieve uniform properties. Achieving the same level of
homogenization at production scale requires careful analysis of key mixing parameters.
With VisiMix LAMINAR, engineers can simulate lab-scale mixing conditions and accurately predict performance at industrial scale
before running trials. In this case, a viscous paint formulation was successfully scaled up to a 1500 L tank, maintaining uniformity
and quality without trial-and-error.
