Instant drinks are in demand worldwide. Although instant powder looks like an ordinary, sweet mass product at first glance, its production is not trivial. Instant drink powders can be stored well when dry, but dissolve or swell quickly when they come into contact with a suitable liquid. Ideally, the resulting soft drink is immediately homogeneously mixed and ready to drink. A wide variety of instant drinks Effervescent drinks in sachets, effervescent tablets in tubes, medicines in granules that dissolve directly on the tongue, iced tea powder in wide-mouth jars, cappuccino in sachets, cold-brew tea bags or energy drinks for sports - even if we are often not aware of it: We encounter instant drinks in a wide variety of forms every day. The powder is stirred into the drinking water and a drink is ready to drink, whether at home, in space, in a submarine or when traveling. Challenging production Instant drinks are in demand worldwide. Although instant powder looks like an ordinary, sweet mass product at first glance, its production is not trivial.

Strengthened by international exchange, technological ambition, and clear goals, amixon enters the second half of the year with confidence. The first half of 2025 has been a dynamic and rewarding journey for amixon, marked by international exchanges, new partnerships, and inspiring conversations. We took part in four major industry events – CFIA in Rennes, Pharmintech in Bologna, IBA in Düsseldorf, and The Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart. The exceptional response we received at IBA and Battery Show Europe has made one thing clear: the global demand for precise, hygienic, and energy-efficient powder mixing technology continues to grow – and amixon is committed to delivering German-engineered excellence to meet that demand. We extend our sincere thanks to all clients, partners, and visitors who joined us at our booths. Your curiosity, questions, and openness to technical dialogue have not only inspired us, but also strengthened our commitment to continue driving innovation and quality in everything we do. amixon will remain active on the global stage throughout the second half of the year: *

Efficient recycling of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for recovering valuable materials and reducing CO2 emissions. Hydrometallurgical methods show promise. amixon has an industrial-scale pilot plant Wherever lithium-ion batteries are developed today, the question of efficient recycling plays a decisive role. It is all about good separability at the end of the service life. All recyclable materials should be recovered in high purity. Efficient recycling is a top priority right from the development stage. Only an efficient circular economy can counteract the scarcity of raw materials. Production, utilisation and recycling processes must have a good CO2 balance. Optimizing Battery Recycling: Hydrometallurgy’s Role The process routes for the extraction of primary raw materials and the recycling of active battery materials were initially similar. Pyro- and hydrometallurgical processes are used in succession. These topics are being researched at full speed worldwide. According to the latest scientific findings, many purification processes based on hydrometallurgy appear to be more efficient. This has advantages in terms of energy consumption. The production of

A success story ’Made in Paderborn’ We are very proud to look back on four decades of company history full of innovation, quality and growth. On the occasion of our special anniversary, we were honoured to welcome the mayor of the city of Paderborn, Mr Michael Dreier. He was accompanied by Dr Marco Trienes from the Paderborn Economic Development Agency. During a tour of our production halls, we provided exciting insights into our work and the development of our amixon® machines, which are manufactured with precision and passion ‘Made in Paderborn’. They have been inspiring customers around the world for years. Mayor Michael Dreier found the right words: ‘The amixon® Group impressively demonstrates how innovation and regional ties enable sustainable growth. Such success stories are not only a strong signal for our region, but also a role model for founders’. We would like to thank our dedicated team, our loyal customers, our reliable suppliers and our valuable partners. Together, we look

Dust is produced wherever dusty goods are processed. Dust binding by wetting can take place gently and precisely in amixon® mixers. Challenges of Industrial Dust Wherever powdery goods are processed, dusts are an inevitable byproduct. Their problematic nature stems from their ability to escape through even the smallest leaks in equipment like big bags, mixers, silos, pipelines, and filling plants. Once airborne, dust can remain suspended for extended periods, settling on all surfaces, particularly horizontal ones. A sudden air current can easily re-suspend settled dust, creating a cycle of contamination. Furthermore, some dusts are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air, making surfaces sticky and difficult to clean. Salt dusts, for example, can also be corrosive. Beyond being a nuisance, dusts pose significant hazards; organic dusts, especially when fine and dry, can be both combustible and explosive. In the workplace, dusts invariably impact well-being and irritate the respiratory tract. Economically, escaping dust represents material loss and incurs disposal costs. Nanoparticles
