Product catalog summary
Overview
The Silverson L5M-A is a high-speed, high-shear laboratory mixer designed for efficient and versatile mixing processes. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including routine lab work, research and development, quality assurance analysis, and small-scale production across various industries.
How It Works
The mixer operates by high-speed rotation of the rotor, creating a powerful suction that draws materials into the rotor/stator workhead. Intense shear within the workhead and centrifugal force drive materials to the periphery, ensuring thorough mixing as fresh materials are continuously drawn in.
Key Advantages
  • Reduces mixing times by up to 90%.
  • Ensures consistent repeatability between batches.
  • Features simple controls for ease of use.
  • Offers interchangeable workheads for versatility.
Success Story
A food manufacturer significantly reduced powder incorporation time from hours to minutes for honey-based products, achieving high-quality, agglomerate-free, and homogeneous mixtures using the L5M-A.
Technical Specifications
  • Power: 1 hp (0.75kW), Single Phase.
  • Variable Speed with a nominal maximum speed of 10,000 RPM.
  • Wetted Parts: 316L Stainless Steel; Body: Engineered Polymer or Stainless Steel.
Mixing Assemblies
Over 40 mixing assemblies are available, including tubular mixing units for narrow-necked containers, Duplex assemblies for high viscosity mixtures, and In-Line assemblies for continuous applications with a flow rate of approximately 20 liters/minute.
Controls & Instrumentation
  • Touch Pad Control.
  • Tachometer.
  • Programmable Timer.
  • Ammeter.
  • DataLogger.
Conclusion
The Silverson L5M-A mixer is engineered to provide excellent reproducibility and accurate performance forecasting, making it an ideal choice for transitioning from R&D to full-scale manufacturing.
