Abstract
In a centrifugal mixer, a maximum wetting height within a mixing cup is optically detected and is regulated by means of a control of drives.

A method for monitoring the wetting height of a mixing cup in a centrifugal mixer, in which method the mixing cup filled with media is set into rotation about two axes of rotation extending obliquely to one another by a first drive and by a second drive, said method comprising the following steps:
- optically detecting the wetting height within the mixing cup by means of an image acquisition device,
- controlling the drives by a control such that a predefined wetting height is reached or is not exceeded by setting the rotational speed of the first and/or the second drive.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a centrifugal mixer comprising at least one mixing cup that can be set into rotation about two axes of rotation extending obliquely to one another by a first and a second drive, an image acquisition device by which a wetting height within the mixing cup can be detected, and
- a control by which the rotational speed of the first and/or the second drive is set such that a predefined wetting height is reached.
