Symex, a leading machine builder, has turned to Rockwell Automation’s expertise to enable it to address a wider range of markets and applications.
Symex, based in Bremerhaven, Germany, is a leading manufacturer of high-end vacuum-mixing and homogenising systems for the production of emulsions, dispersions and suspensions and supplies many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical and food companies.
According to Ulf Sieckmann, from the sales and process engineering department at symex, 60–70% of the world’s mixing processes can be performed by traditional, standardised mixing equipment systems. ‘It is when a customer’s application needs a machine that falls within the remaining 20–30%, they come to us, with our specialised and patented system,’ he says. ‘However, we do not ignore the 60–70%, we are often able to speed up processes significantly, make them even safer and help them offer better repeatability.’
