VMI - 3500L High Shear Mixing Vessel

• Manufacturing of emulsions and suspensions in the chemical industry.
• Production of creams, lotions, and gels in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
• Processing of sauces, dressings, and purees in food production.
• Blending of paints, coatings, and inks.
• Dispersion of pigments and fillers in various industrial processes.

Typical capacity

This unit is specified at 3500 litres. High shear mixers in this class commonly range from several hundred to several thousand litres.

Shear mechanism

Units of this type typically employ a rotor-stator configuration for high shear action.

Power supply

Industrial high shear mixers commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Material of construction

For hygiene and corrosion resistance, vessels of this nature are typically constructed from stainless steel, often 304 or 316L.

Temperature control

Many high shear mixing vessels include jackets for heating or cooling, which is common for maintaining process temperatures.

Agitation speed

High shear mixers typically operate at high RPMs to achieve intense mixing and particle size reduction.

• What is the primary function of a high shear mixing vessel?

  A high shear mixing vessel is designed to rapidly mix, emulsify, homogenise, and disperse components, often creating fine emulsions or suspensions.
