Industrial Mixing Machine

The Industrial Mixing Machine (IMM) is an IV tier multiblock for mixing alloys and other dust blends. The IMM is a direct upgrade from the singleblock mixer and the Steam Blender because it runs up to 900% speed and offers 8 parallels per voltage tier. UIV+ glass also allows the IMM to have one multi-amp energy hatch instead of regular energy hatches. Input separation should be enabled on the IMM for using different programmed circuits within the same machine.

Construction

The IMM has one tiered component. The item pipe casings determine the speed bonus of the machine. The glass can be any tier and has no effect on the operation of the machine, but UIV+ glass allows the IMM to have one multi-amp energy hatch instead of regular energy hatches. Buses/hatches may replace any mixer casing anywhere on the structure. Laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure with subchannels "item_pipe" and "glass" to specify the tier of those components.

Structure

Controller: Front center, 2nd layer
5-45 Mixer Casing
30 Any Tiered Glass
24 Tungsten Sheetmetal
10 Item Pipe Casing (Tiered)
5 Titanium Turbine Casing
1+ Energy Hatch: Any mixer casing
1 Maintenance Hatch: Any mixer casing
1 Muffler Hatch: Any mixer casing
1+ Input Bus/Hatch: Any mixer casing
1+ Output Bus/Hatch: Any mixer casing

Wallsharing

IMMs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, sheetmetal, and buses/hatches. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines, unless using a multi-amp energy hatch.

Usage

The IMM is a direct upgrade from the singleblock mixer and the Steam Blender because it runs up to 900% speed and offers 8 parallels per voltage tier, as seen in the following tables. UIV+ glass also allows the IMM to have one multi-amp energy hatch instead of regular energy hatches.

Tier	Item Pipe Casing	Speed
1	Tin	200%
2	Brass	300%
3	Electrum	400%
4	Platinum	500%
5	Osmium	600%
6	Quantium	700%
7	Fluxed Electrum	800%
8	Black Plutonium	900%

	LV	MV	HV	EV	IV	LuV	ZPM	UV	UHV	UEV	UIV	UMV	UXV	MAX	MAX+
Parallels	8	16	24	32	40	48	56	64	72	80	88	96	104	112	120

Input separation should be enabled on the IMM to prevent SOLID ingredients in different input buses from being used in the same recipe, including any programmed circuits. That means a single IMM with many input buses can support many different programmed circuits simultaneously. Just don't forget to stay above the minimum number of mixer casings. FLUID ingredients are always shared regardless of input separation, unless the input hatch is colored.

The most common programmed circuits for mixing recipes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 20.
