VMI - 2936L High Shear Mixing Vessel

• Used in the pharmaceutical industry for creating emulsions, suspensions, and granulations.
• Applied in food processing for sauces, dressings, purees, and dairy products.
• Utilised in cosmetic manufacturing for creams, lotions, and gels.
• Commonly found in chemical processing for blending polymers, adhesives, and coatings.

Typical capacity

High shear mixing vessels of this size class commonly range from 1,000 to 5,000 litres, with this unit specifically noted as 2936 litres.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Motor power

Motor power for high shear mixers of this capacity typically ranges from 30 kW to 75 kW, depending on the application and desired shear rate.

Material of construction

For food, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications, vessels are typically constructed from stainless steel, often 304 or 316L grade.

Operating temperature

Many high shear mixing vessels are designed to operate across a broad temperature range, often with heating or cooling jackets, typically from 0°C to 100°C or higher.

Agitator type

This class of equipment typically features a high-speed rotor-stator homogeniser for intense mixing and particle size reduction.

• What is high shear mixing?

  High shear mixing involves rapidly rotating blades or impellers that create intense mechanical and hydraulic forces to mix, emulsify, homogenise, or disperse ingredients quickly and efficiently.

• What are the benefits of a high shear mixing vessel?

• Can this vessel handle viscous products?

• Is this unit suitable for hygienic applications?

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

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.
