Mixing Equipment

Filling and packaging equipment has always been an important element of SysTec Engineering. To be a complete systems integrator, it was critical that SysTec Engineering also offered processing equipment as well.

Finding a company that offered processing equipment involved careful research, as SysTec Engineering only develops partnerships with the best vendors. Through this research, the partnership between SysTec Engineering and Reynolds Industries was born.

Reynolds Industries is the fastest growing mixing company in the mixing industry! Reynolds Industries offers mixing equipment for the following industries:

• Adhesives and Sealants
• Paints and Coatings
• Inks
• Chemicals

Reynolds Industries is an industry pioneer and listened to their customers to develop new and better solutions to their problems. Twenty years ago, customers complained to Gus Reynolds, founder of Reynolds Industries, that there had to be a better way to mix high viscosity (30,000 centipoises up to over 1 million centipoises) products than using a traditional tri-shaft mixer equipped with a low speed anchor blade and two high speed dispersers.

Gus Reynolds listened and, in true engineering fashion, was the originator of the now patented helical sweep blade! The helical sweep blade provided so much vertical pumping action, that, in most cases, eliminated the need for a second high speed disperser! As a result, Reynolds Industries is able to offer a superior mixer at a lower price because the dual-shaft mixer requires only 2 shafts, motors and seals versus a tri-shaft mixer that requires a 3 of each. Not to mention lower operating and maintenance costs. The lower initial outlay combined with lower operating and maintenance costs will result in a faster return on investment.

Nearly 30 years later, the folks at Reynolds Industries paid attention to what their customers were saying again. The most common problem that today's customers faced is inconsistent batches due to products being made by different operators on different shifts.

Reynolds Industries once again played the role of industry pioneer and developed a PLC-driven control panel called (Automated Control Technology). replaces a standard control panel with touch-screen technology and is programmed with a step-by-step "recipe" of how to make a particular product. The operator tells which product he wants to make and he is prompted to add the raw materials in the order programmed. All controls of the mixer (speed, heating, cooling, vacuum, pressure) are programmed into and are out of the operator's control! can also be further automate the mixing process with the simple addition of flow meters, pumps and load cells! is offered as an option on every Reynolds Industries mixer.

This is the type of company that SysTec Engineering wants to partner with. A company that is willing to find alternative solutions to everyday problems.

Product lines offered by Reynolds Industries include:

• Dual-Shaft Mixers with the patented helical sweep blade
• Low-Speed Agitators High-Speed Dispersers
• Reactors and Kettles
• Ribbon Blenders
• Mixing Vessels
• Sigma Blade Mixers
• Press-Out Stations
• Complete Engineered Systems and Turn-Key Operations

Also, Reynolds Industries offers the longest warranty in the industry with their unmatched 18-month warranty! Any company offering a warranty like that must be confident in the equipment they manufacture, which is why SysTec Engineering is proud to offer the complete Reynolds Industries product line!
