Our Expertise

Chemical Plant & Engineering has decades of experience in design and supply of agitators, powder blenders, and filters for processing of building materials. We custom design every solution to suit specific process requirements.


Agitation Solutions for Construction Industry

Chemix logo, Chemical industry agitators

CPE offers Chemix agitators for processing and storage of construction materials, such as adhesives and sealants, tile grout, epoxy flooring, construction coatings, repair putties, etc.

Chemix is offered in a range of configurations and impeller options to suit all process conditions.

Learn more about our agitation technology.

CPE’s world leading agitation technology offers major process and product improvements:

  • Fast and thorough blending and homogenisation, thus maximum plant utilisation
  • Effective solid suspension
  • Lower energy consumption, thus operating and maintenance cost savings
  • Enhanced product quality (colour, clarity, finish, strength)

How Chemix ensures optimum strength of your Construction Material?

The key to producing robust construction materials is:

  • the right chemical composition of binders/fillers/additives/reinforcements
  • uniform distribution of system components throughout the binder.

The uniform dispersion of fillers and reinforcements ensures that the material will be fully cured (set) and there are no filler-poor areas in the cured product that are prone to mechanical failure.

Chemix™ agitators optimise the mechanical properties of construction materials by ensuring homogenous distribution of fillers and reinforcements throughout the binder.


Mixing Solutions for Construction Industry

CPE designs and manufactures paddle mixers for the construction industry, where uniform mixing is essential to ensure optimum mechanical properties and minimal chance of product failure under stress. Main applications we have been supplying powder blenders to are Concrete Topping, Plasters, Dry Cement Blend, Concrete and Polymer Concrete, Colour Pigment Blend for Plastic Roof Tiles.

Textured Paint fabrication Using CPE Mixer

As can be seen, the finish mixed using a CPE mixture illustrates uniform dispersion of colour pigments, while the other sample prepared without using CPE mixer shows agglomeration of pigments.  Read more in this brochure.

Benefits of using CPE mixer for manufacture of textured paint

  • Mix time reductions of up to 90%
  • No effect from large density gap
  • No loss of mix homogeneity or pigment dispersion rates
  • High repeatability
  • No streaking

A single paddle mixer is recommended for optimum mixing performance for this application. Mixers are available in 85 to 5400 litres.

Filtration Solutions for Construction Industry

CPE designs and supplies a range of vacuum and pressure filters for construction applications, such as concrete recycling, sand recycling, and sand oil filtration.

Oil Sand Filtration

Oil (bitumen) sands are unconventional petroleum deposits which are a mixture of sand and clay, moisture, and bitumen. Oil sand processing is a large industry in certain parts of the world such as Canada, South America, and Russia.

The filtration of oil sands involves filtering out the sand, clay, and other naturally occurring contamination from the oil/bitumen. The oil obtained from the filtration process is used in various petrochemical processes.
