VMI - 2400L High Shear Mixing Vessel

• Producing emulsions and suspensions in the chemical industry.
• Mixing viscous products and pastes in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
• Dispersing powders into liquids for food and beverage production.
• Homogenising dairy products and sauces.

Typical capacity

This unit is specified at 2400 litres, which is a large industrial scale for high shear mixing.

Power supply

High shear mixers of this size typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V.

Shear mechanism

Units from VMI commonly feature rotor-stator configurations for effective high shear mixing.

Material of construction

For food, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications, vessels are typically constructed from stainless steel, often 304 or 316L grade.

Temperature control

Many industrial mixing vessels include jackets for heating or cooling, which is common for this class of equipment.

Agitation type

Beyond high shear, these vessels often include additional slow-speed agitation for bulk mixing and scraping.

• What is high shear mixing?

  High shear mixing involves rapidly rotating blades or impellers that create intense mechanical and hydraulic forces to break down particles, disperse solids, and create stable emulsions or suspensions.

• What maintenance is typically required for a unit of this type?

• Is this unit suitable for ATEX environments?

Lab mixers and stirrers hold strong reputations for reliability and durability. Buyers typically prioritise motor condition, speed range suitability, and vessel compatibility when purchasing used units. The equipment category is valued for consistent performance across research and production settings. Key strengths include robust construction, straightforward maintenance, and long operational lifespans. Corrosion resistance of wetted parts merits careful inspection. These devices remain dependable workhorses in pharmaceutical, biotech, and laboratory environments, offering solid value when sourced from reputable sellers with clear service histories.
