In a manufacturing base covering an area of 130,000 square meters in Qingdao, Shandong, China, batches of inclined intensive mixers are being assembled under the efficient operation of fully automatic welding robots. These equipment are about to set off to more than 80 countries and regions around the world, including Europe, America, Asia, and Africa.
This is the headquarters of Qingdao Co-Nele Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.-a kingdom of mixing equipment manufacturing known as China's "Eirich" by the industry.
Technological breakthrough, inclined design leads the mixing revolution
The unique design of Co-Nele Inclined Intensive Mixer has become its core competitive advantage. Unlike traditional mixing equipment, the overall structure of the equipment is designed with a specific tilt angle, which is a scientific solution obtained by the Co-Nele R&D team after repeated experiments.
This design brings dual advantages: on the one hand, the inclined structure significantly increases the single discharge capacity of the equipment, greatly improving production efficiency; on the other hand, the material obtains more sufficient mixing space during the mixing process, ensuring full and uniform mixing effect.
In terms of technical implementation path, Co-Nele innovatively adopts "three-dimensional turbulent inclined structure" and fast rotor operation technology. Through the synergistic effect of the low-speed rotating mixing barrel and the eccentric rotor, the material forms a "three-dimensional tornado" effect in the equipment, instantly completing the triple mixing of shear, convection and diffusion.
Even trace additives (such as one thousandth of adhesive) can be evenly dispersed on the surface of each particle, completely solving the problems of agglomeration and stratification in traditional mixing.
Innovation process, a technological journey from Qingdao to the world
Co-Nele's technological development history can be regarded as a microcosm of independent innovation in China's mixing equipment manufacturing industry. The company was founded in 1993. In the nearly 30 years of development, it has completed the transformation from a technology follower to an industry leader.
2008 is a key milestone. This year, Co-Nele not only passed the EU CE certification, becoming the first company in the same industry in China to obtain this certification, but also began to build an ISO9001 quality management system. This paved the way for the product to enter the international market.
The company has always placed technological innovation at the core of its strategy. According to public information, Co-Nele currently has more than 100 national patent technologies, and has led and drafted 1 national standard and 8 group standards. These patents cover the core technologies and key processes of mixing equipment, building a solid technical barrier.
In 2024, Co-Nele's production base welcomed the inspection of the expert group of the China Concrete and Cement Products Association. Xu Yongmo, honorary president of the association, and his party witnessed the company's digital transformation results-the 30,000 square meters of intelligent manufacturing workshops built through the MOM digital cloud platform, the introduction of Austrian IGM welding robots, and Japanese FANUC fully automatic welding robots to achieve mass production.
Industry status, the invisible champion who sits firmly in the top spot
In the field of industrial mixing equipment, Co-Nele has firmly sat in the top spot in the industry. Its industry leadership has been recognized by many authorities: National High-tech Enterprise, Shandong Province Manufacturing Single Champion Enterprise, Shandong Province "Specialized, Specialized and New" Small and Medium Enterprises and other honors.
Within the industry, Co-nele is widely regarded as China's "Eirich" - the latter is a leader in the field of global mixers. Co-nele Intensive mixer can reach the same level of performance as Eirich, while having more advantages in cost performance.
The wide range of application fields is another proof of Co-nele's market position. From refractory materials (aluminum carbon nozzles, stoppers, immersed nozzles), ceramic products (ceramic tubes, honeycomb ceramics), to lithium battery materials, metallurgical chemical raw materials, to UHPC ultra-high performance concrete, Co-nele equipment covers almost all industrial fields that require efficient mixing.
At present, Co-nele has served more than 10,000 corporate customers worldwide, and has established long-term cooperative relations with well-known universities and leading enterprises such as Tsinghua University, China Construction, and China Railway.
Market impact, redefining the benchmark of mixing efficiency
The market influence of the Co-Nele Incline Intensive Mixer is most directly reflected in the reshaping of the industry efficiency standards. It takes 10 minutes for a traditional mixer to complete a batch of materials, while Co-Nele equipment can significantly shorten the mixing cycle.
The breakthrough application of fiberization technology is another major innovation of the equipment. In dry electrode mixing, this technology can efficiently convert powdered adhesives into fiber networks, greatly improving the conductivity and stability of electrode materials, while eliminating the cumbersome steps of traditional coating processes.
In terms of operational safety, the equipment adopts a strong countercurrent operation mode, and reduces the floating problem of fine mixtures through multi-layer shear mixing in the circulating mixture. The entire operation process is equipped with multiple safety protection measures.

Customization capability is the key to Co-Nele's winning the global market. The company has a dedicated experimental center that can tailor exclusive mixing equipment for customers according to different material characteristics and provide integrated technical solutions. This capability enables Co-Nele equipment to adapt to various complex production environments and show a high degree of professionalism in parameter configuration.

Future layout, a technology innovator that continues to lead

Facing the transformation and upgrading of the global manufacturing industry, Conele has proactively laid out the intelligent track. The company's latest generation of Intensive mixer introduces an intelligent control system to make the mixing process more accurate and automated.
The equipment can automatically adjust the mixing speed and time according to the characteristics of the material to ensure that the mixing effect of each batch is optimal. This technology not only improves production efficiency, but also significantly reduces manual intervention and reduces production costs.
In the survey of the China Concrete and Cement Products Association in 2025, the leaders of the association have high hopes for Conele, hoping that it will give full play to the leading effect and inject new momentum into the high-quality development of the industry.
When reporting to the experts of the association, Lan Xiaoqiang, general manager of Conele, emphasized that the company will continue to increase R&D investment and seek breakthroughs in the dual-track innovation of mixing technology and granulation technology.
With the growth of global demand for high-efficiency and energy-saving equipment, Conele's inclined Intensive mixer has broad market prospects due to its high efficiency and low energy consumption. The company is accelerating its internationalization strategy to allow more "Qingdao Smart Manufacturing" high-end mixing equipment to serve global industrial upgrading.
The numbers speak for themselves: Since its founding in 1993, Co-Nele has grown into an industry giant with three major production bases and more than 100 national patents.
Its inclined intensive mixer uses three-dimensional turbulent flow technology to increase mixing efficiency to several times that of traditional equipment, and can achieve uniform dispersion even for additives as small as one thousandth.
Today, Co-Nele's products have been exported to more than 80 countries and regions around the world, serving more than 10,000 companies. In the challenging world economic situation, this Qingdao company has made unremitting efforts for the development of China's manufacturing industry with a lofty sense of historical responsibility and national self-esteem.
