High Shear Mixers
High Shear Mixers are excellent in mixing and dispersing cohesive powder like pigment, toners and pharmaceuticals, and also can mix slurries very well.
Typical Construction Materials and Operations
High shear mixer is conical shaped and has a central rotor which rotates at a speed up to 30m/s.
The speed of the rotor creates centrifugal forces and pushes the product to the vessel wall. The conical shape of the vessel causes an upwards movement of the product. The cover part of the mixer guides the products towards the center of the mixer. Here it will be re-introduced to the bottom part of the mixing chamber where the mixing process starts again. The mixing mechanism of the high shear mixer ensures a homogenous end product and an ultra short batch time.
As an example the High shear mixer can be used for intensive mixing of liquids like for example polymers, just water with fillers (powders), active ingredients or additives. With the High shear mixer, it was possible to optimize mixing lines for low viscous and high viscous slurries.
