Simplify your batch processing and enhance product quality with the Admix Fastfeed CX system, a leading-edge powder induction and dispersion solution.
This skid-mounted system redefines efficiency for professionals, offering unmatched performance across diverse applications. If you’re looking to optimize your mixing kettles and streamline liquid dry processing, the Fastfeed CX is engineered for superior results. It’s more than just an admix mixer; it’s a comprehensive system designed to elevate your production.
The Admix Fastfeed CX is a high-efficiency powder induction and dispersion system designed to rapidly incorporate powders into liquids in chemical manufacturing processes. This integrated system combines vacuum conveying, controlled powder addition, and intense high-shear mixing, significantly reducing batch times, improving operator safety, and minimizing dust and air entrainment.
Ideal for
Rapidly incorporating a wide range of chemical powders, including pigments, polymers, resins, fillers, and additives, into liquids.
Why Choose R-CAP Process Equipment?
At R-CAP Process Equipment, we provide top-tier industrial process solutions designed to optimize your liquid and dry processing operations. From Admix high shear mixers to Piab vacuum conveyors and integrated process systems, our range of products ensures maximum efficiency, reliability, and precision.
How the Fastfeed CX System Works:
The Fastfeed CX utilizes a powerful vacuum pump to convey powders from bags, drums, or bulk containers directly into the mixing chamber. The powder is introduced below the liquid level, immediately adjacent to the Dynashear CX inline high-shear mixer. The Dynashear’s two-stage rotor/stator design provides intense mixing and dispersion, ensuring complete wetting and deagglomeration of the powder in a single pass. The system can be integrated with PLC automation for precise control of feed rates and batch parameters.

Fastfeed System Overview: Key Components and Functionality
The Fastfeed CX system is built upon a portable worktable and includes:
- Hopper: Ergonomically designed for easy powder addition.
- Self-Priming Liquid Ring Pump: Creates vacuum for efficient powder induction.
- Dynashear® CX High Shear Inline Mixer/Emulsifier: Provides rapid and complete powder dispersion.
- Vacuum Gauge: Monitors system performance.
- Valves and Controls: For precise operation and adjustments.
The system seamlessly connects to your liquid source or recirculation tank. Operators simply pour ingredients into the waist-height hopper, flood the system, and initiate powder induction. The liquid ring pump draws powder at speeds up to 500 lbs./minute (model dependent), passing it through the Dynashear® for immediate fluidization and shearing. This results in slurries with particle sizes reduced to 4-5 microns in a single pass.
Ergonomic and Mechanical Features:
- 316L Stainless Steel Contact Surfaces: Ensures sanitary operation with blended and polished welds.
- NEMA 4X Control Panel: Durable and reliable control in demanding environments.
- Optional Double Mechanical Seal: For abrasive applications, enhancing system longevity.
- Optional Wand for Liquid Additions: Adds versatility to your process.
Key System Advantages
- Uniform and Effective Powder Flow: Minimizes traditional powder flow issues like bridging and rat-holing through vacuum technology and mechanical vibration.
- Continuous Powder Suction: Maintains consistent powder feed even as viscosity and solids levels increase, preventing system plugging.
- Adjustable Powder Feed Rates: Regulating valves, with optional automation, ensure precise and efficient addition of dry materials.
- Complete 100% Dispersion: The integrated Dynashear® high-speed, high-shear mixer achieves full dispersion in a single pass for many applications. Recirculation loop configurations are available for multiple passes if desired, and a single Fastfeed system can feed multiple tanks.
