# [Mixing and granulating small batches](https://www.caleva.com/knowledge-base/mix-small-batches-watch-a-video)

The Caleva Multi-Lab (CML) is capable of performing 3 different processes: Mixing, Extrusion and Spheronization.

This article is about the mixing and granulation phase of the process.

The multi-lab works with a large range of materials from pharmaceutical materials and catalysts, to agricultural products.

#### The granulator/mixer

The mixer attachment blades thoroughly mix the liquid binder with the product and granulate the mixture efficiently as seen in the video below. 6 coloured formulations were mixed and granulated using the Multi-Lab's mixing attachment. In the video below, you can see the coloured liquid binder become homogeneous with the powder in a short space of time.

## Benefits of the Mixer/granulator:

- Can process small batches for expensive/scarce materials.
- 2 inter-meshing counter rotating blades create a very high shear on the mixture.
- Easy to assemble and disassemble, making cleaning quick to allow for fast turn around.
- Different blade options are available to work with more difficult/viscous materials.
- Mixes the material efficiently to make it fully homogeneous in a short time.
