Commercialized Mixing Systems

A1-COSMO Commercial Solutions

Across the food, chemical and cosmetic spectrum there are a wide range of processes requiring consistent, powerful homogenization. The reduction of particle size results in more efficient, effective formulations and reduces the need for fillers, excessive cost to produce and emulsifying chemicals. These are critical factors when taking a product to market. When ready, our team can take a product concept and scale it to meet your commercial demand.

Apical and Kinematica solutions are backed by in-depth expertise, continuous innovation, transparency and consultancy that is genuine and focused on the success of your business.

Apical has taken years of validated field experience and product trials to develop practical technologies that work every day. We combine academic principles with cutting-edge design to provide equipment that can be relied on for years to come with safe, easy operation, high throughputs and consistent product. The same can certainly be said for Kinematica AG.


Together, we work to master the finer points,and deliver high throughputs, successful process development, facility safety and efficient commercialization.


Systems are built to DIN and cGMP standards for consistent production as well OSHA guidelines for safety. Apical takes industry guidelines seriously to ensure limited downtime, straight-forward audits and predictable operation.

No myths about residence time, degradation or physics, no designs with built-in obsolescence, no exaggerations about system capabilities or pay-to-play obstacles to efficient processing.

Apical has tested a wide range of designs under production settings to pierce the veil and remove the mystique around chemical processing so business operators can focus on the customer and not a daily headache.

Apical-Kinematica commercial systems features include:

  • Added turbulence increases efficiency of the recirculator, balances temperature throughout the condenser to improve condenser capacity and is vacuum-insulated to prevent touch burns.

  • Fitted for deep-vacuum, durability and easy assembly/disassembly, these junctures are fitted with PTFE centering rings & composite clamps.

  • German-made components known for consistency and longevity.

  • Principle glassware is meant to be permanently installed on the lattice, frame or skid to reduce breakage and increase safety.

  • Reflux of common solvents keeps systems looking and performing brand new for years to come.

  • Small & large vessels and be fitted with lifting systems, allowing for easy cleaning, maintenance and swapping of process vessels.

  • Ingredients & product can be continuously fed to the process or ejected from the system on to storage or packaging.

  • More than 80 dispersing aggregates with proprietary geometries.

  • Such as 316L (standard), Inconel, Hastelloy, Titan, SuperDuplex.
