Biotechnology is seen as a critical technology for the twenty-first century. One of its important applications is the use of living organisms and their products, such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, plant cells, viruses and mammalian cells.

Mechanimix helps companies in the biotech space in four areas. These include biotechnological processes such as fermentation, homogenization and sterilization, as well as the synthesis of bio-based and biodegradable base materials. Mechanimix has experience in fermentation processes, planning, analyzing and performing laboratory testing and Scale-Up to industrial scale volumes.

The fermentation process uses enzymes, bacteria, fungi or yeast to make chemical compounds. Recent advances and new insights in many areas of biotechnology have made new applications possible. It goes without saying that mixing technology makes a big difference. Metabolites from microorganisms are used in modern fermentation processes to obtain products such as enzymes, active pharmaceutical ingredients, amino acids and vitamins. Many of these production processes work best in mobile fermenters.

Doing good for the environment and climate is becoming ever more important in the process industry. Mixing reactors are often used to make chemicals and polymers that come from natural sources or break down in the environment. The use of customized mixing systems in the right places in such processes ensures that liquid/powder materials and heat are transferred efficiently.
