Laboratory Mixers, Universal Pilot Production Units

KPM Mühendislik, with extensive experience accumulated over many years, was established in 2011 to manufacture chemical and process machinery and equipment for turnkey industrial production plant projects. We serve primarily the paints and coatings, paint raw material chemicals, pharmaceutical, food, mineral oil and construction chemicals industries. We manufacture reactors, mixers, blenders, distillation columns, heat exchangers, dissolvers, dispersers, column mixers, laboratory mixers, universal pilot production units, silos, storage tanks, mobile tanks, bag filters, autoclaves, filling machines and related equipment, along with installation and commissioning services. Small volume laboratory mixers and low capacity pilot production units are essential for most production plants. The reactors of these miniature production units are designed with capacities ranging from 50 liters to 500 liters. Other units such as blenders, columns, condensers, decanters, heating and cooling systems, vacuum systems and similar equipment are designed according to the reactor capacity. Pilot units are critical for R&D studies of new products or improvement of existing products. At the product recipe development stage, these units provide easy operating conditions with exact raw material consumption and minimum energy expenditure. Product losses from incorrect recipe applications are minimal, making it possible to achieve the most economical and trouble-free outcome. Pilot production units may be manufactured directly according to customer requirements or may be produced as multipurpose universal types. They are installed on specially designed 2 or 3-story steel platforms and delivered to the customer as a compact system. Dimensions are calculated according to international transport regulations. The system is designed with bolted connections and can be delivered unassembled for easy assembly on site.

These units include all necessary components found in a standard chemical plant such as reactor, distillation column, condenser, decanter, blender, filters, pumps, heating system, cooling system, vacuum system, internal piping,

PLC control panel, all internal cable connections and are delivered ready for operation. Upon receipt on site, after installation the system can be easily operated by connecting the main power supplies without any additional requirements. Pilot production units may be manufactured as Ex-proof or non-Ex-proof according to customer requirements. In the chemical industry, explosive materials are commonly used in production, so Ex-proof units are generally required. In such cases, all system components and equipment are Ex-proof with Atex certification. Thermal oil systems are used for heating pilot production units. The thermal oil is heated by a compact resistance-type thermal oil generator and circulated through the system by thermal oil pumps. Pilot production units may be connected to existing cooling systems at factories such as cooling towers or chiller systems. If no such system exists at the plant, a small compact chiller system can be provided. Automation systems consist of Siemens S7-1200 PLC systems, Siemens touchpad panels, ABB frequency inverters and electrical components from Siemens or Schneider. KPM Mühendislik will continue to serve customers with high quality, long-lasting products. Özdemir Karanfil Mechanical Engineer KPM Mühendislik
