In the biotechnology sector, mixing determines the living conditions of organisms. Achieving sufficient oxygen transfer with low shear stress, homogeneous nutrient distribution with pH control — establishing this balance requires deep process knowledge. We are your trusted partner in scale-up engineering from laboratory scale to industrial bioreactors.
Mechanimix provides low-shear mixing solutions for fermentation, cell culture and bioreactor processes in the biotechnology sector. Impeller designs optimized through CFD simulation guarantee sufficient oxygen mass transfer (kLa) and homogeneous nutrient/pH distribution while preserving cell viability.
Each process type requires different mixing parameters, impeller geometry and material selection.
Oxygen transfer and mixing in bacterial, yeast and fungal fermentation. Antibiotic, enzyme and organic acid production.
Minimum shear stress in mammalian cell and hybridoma cultures. Monoclonal antibody and recombinant protein production.
High-viscosity biomass mixing in biogas production. Methane yield enhancement.
Homogeneous light distribution and CO₂ transfer in photobioreactors. Biofuel and nutraceutical production.
Optimal mixing in extracellular and intracellular enzyme production. Induction and expression phase management.
Pre-chromatography buffer preparation and protein precipitation. Precise pH and temperature control.
In biotechnology, scale-up is the most critical stage. Achieving the same efficiency at industrial scale as a process that works in the laboratory depends on correctly scaling parameters such as geometric similarity, constant tip speed and P/V ratio. We identify scale-up risks in advance through CFD simulation and ensure successful technology transfer.
