Can I mix in small quantities?
It is possible to mix in small quantities. Small components are more difficult to distribute homogeneously in a mixer. The smaller a component is, the more difficult it is to achieve a good distribution. After all, 50 + 50% is easier than 99.9 + 0.1%. In addition to the process in the mixer, dosing accuracy is also important. Very small amounts require an accurate dosage. This may mean that a small component requires its own weighing system. In some cases it makes sense to pre-mix a small component.
