- Typical capacity
- For this class of Silverson mixer, capacities typically range from laboratory scale (a few litres) up to pilot or small production volumes (hundreds of litres), depending on the specific model and configuration.
- Power supply
- Commonly found on units of this type are 3-phase industrial power supplies, typically 400V, 50Hz, though single-phase options may exist for smaller models.
- Motor power
- Motor power for Silverson mixers can vary significantly, typically from 0.75 kW for smaller units up to 15 kW or more for larger production models, influencing mixing intensity.
- Materials of construction
- Process contact parts are typically manufactured from 316L stainless steel, suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications, with other grades for non-contact components.
- Operating principle
- Silverson mixers operate on a high-shear rotor/stator principle, drawing materials into a precision-machined workhead where they are subjected to intense mechanical and hydraulic shear.
- Mounting options
- Units of this type are commonly available as fixed tank-mounted, mobile floor-standing, or laboratory bench-top models, offering flexibility for integration into various setups.
