To ensure high quality, specific mixing instructions have to be developed for each recipe. The optimal process settings are currently determined iteratively on the basis of expert knowledge. Currently these process developments take place on production machinery involving significant expenditure of materials and energy.\u2026                    <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\" relative flex flex-col gap-2xs mb-xs md:mb-l xl:mb-xl\"><img decoding=\"async\"  class=\" w-full  \"  src=\"https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/13XP5196G.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/13XP5196G-748x499.png 748w, https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/13XP5196G-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/13XP5196G-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"13XP5196G\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><span class=\" text-copyright order-3 justify-end text-right w-full  w-full \">&copy; IKV<\/span><figcaption class=\" w-full  text-figcaption justify-end text-right \">Fig. 1: Determination of the mixing time and power input required to achieve the required mixing quality<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>For this reason, the project aimed to develop an \u2018app\u2019 that determines the corresponding recipe and mixing instructions based on the required end-product properties. During the mixing process, both the order in which ingredients are added and the process settings have an impact on the quality of the compound.. To develop initial approaches for describing the entire mixing process, mathematical models were developed using symbolic regression, which describe the ram path and torque as well as the mixing quality based on the incorporation, dispersion and distribution of the fillers. These models were extended to include physical relationships, such as the torque as a function of shear stress. The subsequent optimisation of the models enabled a reduction in energy consumption of up to 40 %.^Q<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow
