High Speed High Shear Mixers In-Line Mixers

The Silverson Principle For over 75 years Silverson has specialised in the manufacture of quality high shear mixers for processing and manufacturing industries worldwide. With customers in over 150 countries, and serving industries as diverse as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, luboils and petrochemicals, Silverson has become the world leader in the field of high shear mixing. Time after time, companies specify Silverson mixers as the “standard” equipment for their manufacturing process. The key to this success is based on the professionalism and commitment Silverson shows to each of its...

Why Silverson? Speed The exceptionally rapid Silverson mixing action substantially reduces process times compared with conventional agitators and mixers and can reduce mixing times by up to 90%. Versatility The advantage of the Silverson approach to mixing is that any one machine can perform the duties that in the past may have required several different pieces of process equipment. This unrivalled versatility allows any machine to perform the widest range of mixing applications: -  Blending - A homogeneous product is rapidly produced when blending liquids of similar or greatly varying...

In-Line Mixers In-Line Mixers Silverson’s In-Line mixers are able to perform the widest variety of applications - mixing, emulsifying, homogenising, disintegrating and dissolving - with an efficiency, flexibility and hygienic construction unmatched by other machines. Ultra-Hygienic Ultra-Efficient Features -  Aeration free -  Self-pumping -  No bypassing -  Interchangeable workheads -  Hygienic construction -  Easy maintenance -  Lower power requirements -  Eliminates agglomerates and fish eyes -  Creates stable emulsions and suspensions -  Reduces particle size -  Rapidly dissolves solids...

In-Line Works Stage 1 The high-speed rotation of the rotor blades within the precision-machined mixing workhead exerts a powerful suction, drawing liquid and solid materials into the rotor/ stator assembly. Centrifugal force then drives materials towards the periphery of the workhead where they are subjected to a milling action in the precision-machined clearance between the ends of the rotor blades and the inner wall of the stator. This is followed by intense hydraulic shear as the materials are forced, at high velocity, out through the perforations in the stator, then through the mixer’s...

Interchangeable Heads and Screens A comprehensive range of workheads and screens is available for Silverson In-Line mixers. UHS Range mixers can be used with single or multistage configurations, allowng mixing characteristics to be adapted to suit specific process requirements. Changing from one head or screen to another is quick and simple. General Purpose Disintegrating Head This is the most versatile of all the heads, giving an exceptionally vigorous mixing action. Ideal for general mixing applications, its uses also include the disintegration of solids and the preparation of gels and...

In-Line Mixers How to Use In-Line Mixers Recirculation Method This is the most common way of using an In-Line mixer, providing a higher degree of homogenisation and particle size reduction. Here product is drawn from the bottom of the vessel, processed through the high shear rotor/stator workhead and passed back into the top of the vessel. In small vessels this will ensure adequate in-tank movement but in larger vessels an auxiliary in-tank mixer or agitator will be required. Additional fluid ingredients can be fed into the workhead and uniformly mixed before entering the vessel. Where...

In-Line Mixers Ultra Hygienic In-Line Mixers Designed to comply with FDA and cGMP guidelines, these machines are ideally suited for industries where advanced Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Sterilise-InPlace (SIP) facilities are required. UHS range mixers are 3-A TPV (Third Party Verification) Certified and EHEDG Certified models are available. The design offers further versatility with multistage rotor/stator configurations as standard options, resulting in substantially faster mixing times by reducing the number of recirculation passes required, and offering greater particle size reduction....

High Viscosity In-Line Mixers Silverson’s UHS-HV Series In-Line mixers are designed for processing higher viscosity products. They offer all the advantages of the standard UHS range but incorporate a unique and innovative “pumping rotor” design which substantially increases the mixer’s selfpumping capacity. The high flow rate is maintained as viscosity rises, often eliminating the need for an additional feed pump when processing many higher viscosity products. Typical Applications High Viscosity In-Line mixers are ideal for applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical...
