Becomix product offering
Product offeringCore offering
BECOMIX designs, manufactures, and globally installs modular process systems — homogenisers, mixers, pre-phase tanks, and complete production plants — for producing liquid and semi-solid products in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and chemical industries. Systems range from 0.5L laboratory units to 20,000L production-scale plants and incorporate proprietary technologies (variable-shear homogeniser, diagonal mixing, Hot/Cold process, PowderJet) together with the PromasCS MES automation platform. The offering is complemented by installation, commissioning, maintenance, calibration, spare-parts, retrofit/upgrade, and training services delivered worldwide.
Product overview
BECOMIX offers a sophisticated modular product portfolio for liquid and semi-solid products in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and chemical industries. The portfolio centers on three main product lines: the RW Universal Homogenising Mixer for high-viscosity products (60-10,000L), the LVM Large Volume Processor for low-viscosity products (125-20,000L), and the LIM Lipstick Mixer for cosmetic powders and pigments (30-500L). Supporting products include the Pre-Phase Tank (M/MV) for water and fat phase preparation, the Laboratory Homogenising Mixer (0.5-60L) for scale-up development, and the Inline Homogeniser (DH) for secondary raw material integration. The portfolio is complemented by proprietary technologies including the PowderJet system for dust-free powder dispersion, the Homogenizer-X for vacuum-free powder incorporation, and the Homogenizer Plus for faster homogenization at production scale. The PromasCS modular MES platform, developed with partner BecoPro, provides integrated automation and control across the entire production chain from raw material intake to packaging.
