Apollo High shear mixer on stand

• Emulsifying and homogenising liquid-liquid or liquid-solid mixtures in the food industry.
• Dispersing powders into liquids to create suspensions or slurries.
• Producing fine emulsions for sauces, dressings, and dairy products.
• Mixing ingredients for beverages, confectionery, and bakery fillings.

Typical capacity

For this class of high shear mixer, batch volumes can typically range from 50 litres up to several thousand litres, depending on motor power and head design.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Shaft length

Shaft lengths commonly vary, with 760mm being suitable for mixing in standard industrial vessels.

Head diameter

Head diameters for high shear mixers typically range from 50mm to over 200mm, influencing shear rate and flow patterns.

Motor power

Motor powers for high shear mixers commonly range from 1.5kW for smaller units up to 30kW or more for larger industrial applications.

Mobility

Many high shear mixers are designed to be mobile, often mounted on a stand with castors, allowing for use with multiple vessels.

• What is the primary function of a high shear mixer?

  A high shear mixer is designed to rapidly mix, emulsify, homogenise, and disperse ingredients, creating fine particle sizes and stable mixtures through intense mechanical and hydraulic shear forces.

• Is this mixer suitable for viscous products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a high shear mixer?

• Can this mixer be used for both batch and continuous processing?

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.
