Where a conventional mixing device is used the Dena system will typically reduce processing time. The precise application of energy results in better homogeneity as the mixture cannot leave the system until it has been fully processed. Energy applied to the system is used more efficiently, cleaning is simple and a shorter cycle increases production. This is a closed system which means protection from hazardous materials and no contamination so clean room conditions are not required. As there are no spaces within the system, wastage is virtually eliminated.
