High Shear Mixer

Product Overview

The MIKRONS High Shear Mixer is engineered to handle mixing challenges where conventional agitators fall short. By applying intense shear forces using a precision rotor-stator mechanism, this mixer effectively blends fluids, gases, and solids into stable emulsions, suspensions, and dispersions.

Ideal for fine particle size reduction, rapid solid dissolution, and high-speed emulsification, this high-performance industrial mixer is designed to deliver consistent, repeatable results across a variety of industries.

Product Highlights

  • High-Speed Rotor-Stator System

    Features a high-speed rotor that draws liquid into the stator and discharges it at high velocity through precisely machined slots, creating powerful hydraulic and mechanical shear forces.

  • Handles Incompatible Materials

    Combines difficult-to-mix fluids, solids, and gases through shear strain dynamics, ensuring uniform distribution.

  • Efficient Particle Reduction & Emulsification

    Eliminates agglomerates, reduces particle size, and forms stable emulsions and suspensions with high repeatability.

  • Rapid Processing

    Capable of dissolving and dispersing solids quickly, significantly reducing batch cycle times.

  • Efficient Heating and Cooling

    Equipped with sidewall scrapers and impeller risers to enhance heat transfer by maintaining constant contact with vessel walls, ensuring uniform temperature control.

Applications

The High Shear Mixer is widely used in industries where fast, stable, and efficient mixing of immiscible materials is critical:

  • Pharmaceuticals – Suspensions, emulsions, ointments
  • Cosmetics – Creams, gels, serums
  • Food & Beverage – Sauces, dressings, dairy products
  • Chemicals – Polymers, coatings, resins
  • Paints & Inks – Pigment dispersions, color mixing
  • Adhesives – Homogeneous glue and sealant formulations

How the High Shear Mixer Works

The MIKRONS High Shear Mixer uses a rotor-stator assembly to generate extreme turbulence and intense mixing zones:

  • Intake Phase: The rotor creates a pulsing suction that draws material into the stator inlet.
  • Shearing Phase: Material is then sheared between the fast-rotating rotor and the fixed stator, generating hydraulic shear, mechanical tearing, and turbulence.
  • Discharge Phase: The resulting mixture is ejected at high velocity through the stator slots, creating a highly uniform product with reduced particle size and eliminated agglomerates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • 1. What materials can a high shear mixer handle?

    It can efficiently mix fluids, gases, and solids, including tough emulsions and suspensions with varying viscosities.

  • 2. How does the rotor-stator system help in emulsification?

    The intense shear forces break down droplets and agglomerates into micro-sized particles, creating stable and homogeneous emulsions.

  • 3. Is this mixer suitable for pharmaceutical or food-grade applications?

    Yes. MIKRONS offers sanitary designs with SS 316L and hygienic seals for FDA-compliant industries.

  • 4. Can the mixer be used for continuous processing?

    Yes. High shear mixers are available in both batch and inline configurations, supporting continuous production lines.

  • 5. What is the typical speed range of a high shear mixer?

    Depending on the model, speed ranges from 3000 to 6000 RPM, with adjustable control via VFD systems.
