Mixing Matters: The Key Process Behind Every Great Product

Mixing is probably the single most common processing step across almost all manufacturing industries. The related term blending is often used interchangeably, though it usually applies to the mixing of solids such as powders. At Innovating Sciences we focus especially on Food, Beverage, Personal Care, Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical industries but mixing principles are used in many other diverse fields. These include Agriculture (e.g., livestock feeds, compound fertilizers), Chemical Engineering, Construction (e.g., mixing of concrete), Detergents, Paints, Coatings and Energy (e.g., oil and gas refining).
