Silverson Mixer

• Homogenising and emulsifying liquids and semi-solids in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
• Disintegrating solids and dissolving powders into liquids for food and beverage production.
• Blending and dispersing ingredients in cosmetic and personal care manufacturing.
• Creating stable emulsions and suspensions in laboratory and pilot plant settings.

Typical capacity

For this class of Silverson Model D mixer, typical batch capacities can range from 1 to 50 litres, depending on the specific configuration and viscosity of the product.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz supply, though some may be configured for three-phase power.

Motor power

Motor power for a Silverson Model D typically ranges from 0.37 kW to 1.1 kW, influencing the shear rate and processing capability.

Operating speed

Commonly, these mixers offer variable speed control, with typical maximum speeds up to 8,000 RPM, allowing for precise process optimisation.

Construction materials

Contact parts are generally constructed from 316L stainless steel, suitable for hygienic and corrosive environments.

Mounting options

Units are typically supplied with a robust laboratory stand or can be integrated into a processing vessel.

• What is the primary function of a Silverson mixer?

  A Silverson mixer is designed for high-shear mixing, enabling rapid emulsification, homogenisation, disintegration, and dissolving of materials, achieving fine particle sizes and stable mixtures.

• Can this mixer handle viscous products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used Silverson Model D?

• Are spare parts readily available for Silverson Model D mixers?

• What safety features should I look for on a used unit?

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.
