LEBANON, Pa. (April 29, 2025) – Lancaster Products, an industry leader in specialized mixing and material processing equipment, announces the launch of the new K2 High Shear Mixer. This advanced mixing solution has been specifically designed for precision, efficiency, and versatility in small-batch processing and prototyping.
A part of Lancaster Products line of high shear mixers, the new 68-liter capacity K2 High Shear Mixer bridges the capacity gap between the K1 (8-liter) and K3 (100-liter) mixers. It’s ideally suited for a range of powder mixing and granulating applications for industries desiring superior homogenization with reduced cycle times including abrasives, Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC), ceramics, refractories, and more.
Developed based on customer feedback, the K2 mixer incorporates design improvements and upgraded tooling aimed at minimizing maintenance and enhancing operator usability. It also leverages Lancaster’s industry-leading counter-current mixing technology, known for delivering rapid homogenization, consistent batch-to-batch quality, and significantly reduced mixing times.
Curt Snyder, President of Lancaster Products, said, “We designed the K2 Mixer with operators in mind. From easy-to-clean removable pans to a redesigned single-piece scraper, every feature is intentionally designed to improve convenience and help our customers maintain optimal productivity.”
Notable features of the K2 High Shear Mixer include:
- 68-liter working capacity ideal for prototyping and smaller batches.
- Advanced counter-current mixing action ensures rapid, uniform mixing and reduced cycle times.
- High-quality 316 stainless steel components offer superior durability, corrosion resistance, and surface hygiene.
- Upgraded PTFE seal design providing longer seal life, improved dust containment, and easier cleaning between batches.
- Redesigned sidewall scraper that reduces material buildup and provides easier cleanup with a new single-piece machined design.
- Optional integrated sensors for real-time moisture and temperature monitoring, enhancing process control.
- Optional automated pan rotator/lifter for simplified handling and improved operational efficiency.
Lancaster Products continues to design high-performance mixing solutions that improve process control, reduce cycle times, and support long-term operational improvements across diverse applications.
