The Silverson way For over 60 years Silverson has specialized 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...

The Silverson advantage 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...

How the Silverson works The advantages of Silverson’s high shear rotor/stator mixer over simple conventional stirrers or agitators stem from the multistage mixing/shearing action as materials are drawn through the specially designed Silverson workhead - the heart of every machine. 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 upwards from the bottom of the vessel and into the center of the workhead. Stage 2 Centrifugal force then drives materials towards the periphery of the...

Interchangeable heads and screens A comprehensive range of workheads and screens is available for all Silverson rotor/ stator mixers.These easily interchangeable workheads offer great versatility by allowing any machine to be adapted to perform a wide range of mixing operations including emulsifying, homogenizing, disintegrating, dissolving, dispersing, blending, particle size reduction and de-agglomerating. 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...

ttetter mixers, better results Laboratory scale mixe Silverson Laboratory mixers range of applications - mixing, emulsifying, homogenizing, disintegrating, dissolving - with unmatched by other machines. With a capacity from 1 ml up to in-line with flow rates up to 20 liters/minute, they offer excellent reproducibility when scaling up easy means of forecasting the performance of larger Silverson machines under full-scale working conditions. latest development in High Shear Laboratory mixing, ideal for all routine laboratory work, research and small scale production in Laboratory Mixers

L5M-A mixer L5M-A Mixer The multifunctional L5M-A Model features touch pad control with digital tachometer, programmable integral timer and amperage display, all accessed via the Mode button. The unit can be supplied with a “DataLogger” program allowing monitoring of speed and power draw over time. This level of instrumentation is invaluable for applications where process validation and reproducibility are required. Motor unit Powerful 1hp (750W) 110 volt, single phase (220 volt optional), 50/60 Hz. Nominal maximum speed 8000 rpm (6000 rpm under full load). Speed control Infinitely variable...

Mixing assemblies Duplex assembly The Duplex comprises two workheads facing in opposite directions. The upper head pulls materials down from the surface of the mix, and provides a coarse disintegrating action, while the lower head draws material up from the base of the mixing container, further reducing particle size to accelerate solubilization or suspension. This combined use of two workheads makes the Duplex ideal for high viscosity mixes and applications where light or buoyant material (powders, rubbers and polymers, etc.) needs to be drawn down from the surface of a mix and rapidly...

In-Line mixing assembly The In-Line assembly fits on to the model L5 Series Laboratory range and converts it into an in-line mixer/homogenizer. The centrifugal action of the rotor in the high shear rotor/stator workhead generates a nonpositive pumping action which gives a throughput on low viscosity liquids of approximately 20 liters/minute, reducing as the viscosity increases. The In-Line assembly is suitable for use at atmospheric pressure only. It is not recommended for use on abrasive, corrosive or flammable materials. Specialized mixers L5 Sealed unit laboratory mixer Designed for...

Pilot scale mixers AX series This series of mixers is designed for small-scale production in pilot plants, research institutes, hospital pharmacies, etc. Light and easily operated, AX series models have a capacity of up to 50 liters. Model AX5 The AX5 features touch pad controls and is compatible with Silverson’s “DataLogger” system. Motor Powerful 1 hp (0.75 kW) 110 volt single phase motor (220 volt optional) 50/60 Hz. Speed control Infinitely variable speed control. Nominal maximum speed 6000 rpm. Model AX60 The Model AX60 features a fixed speed 1 hp 3 phase motor. TEFC, washdown duty and...
