- Typical capacity
- High shear mixing plants of this class commonly feature vessel capacities ranging from 50 to 200 litres, with the listed unit being 100 litres.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with motor power for the high shear mixer often around 4kW.
- Construction material
- For food processing applications, stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) is standard for all product contact parts to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Temperature control
- Steam-jacketed vessels are commonly found on units of this type, allowing for heating or cooling during the mixing process.
- Outfeed pump type
- Lobe pumps are frequently used for viscous product transfer due to their gentle handling and suitability for high-viscosity liquids, often with variable speed control.
- Mobility
- Many smaller to medium-sized high shear mixing plants are designed to be mobile, mounted on castors for flexibility within a production facility.
- Control system
- Variable speed control for both the high shear mixer and the outfeed pump is a common feature, allowing for process optimisation.
