High Speed High Shear Mixers Powder/ Liquid 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...

Powder/Liquid Mixers Flashmix Powder/Liquid Mixer The Silverson Flashmix takes a revolutionary approach to powder/liquid mixing. Unlike many powder/liquid mixers, which use vacuum to pull in powders, the Flashmix literally forces powder into the liquid stream. This not only allows it to disperse and hydrate large volumes of powders, it means it can be used at higher temperatures and with higher viscosity mixes - offering the advantages of high shear mixing to a wide range of applications that were previously not possible. The range features 3 production mixers and a laboratory model (see...

Flashmix Works Stage 1 The specially modified Silverson In-Line mixer recirculates liquid from the process vessel through the Flashmix at high velocity. The powder feed valve is opened, and the high pumping action of the In-Line mixer forces the powder into the liquid stream. The powder and liquid components are introduced straight into the high shear zone of the mixer, and are instantaneously combined as they are subjected to intense mechanical and hydraulic shear. The resultant mix is passed back to the vessel by the self-pumping Flashmix.

Powder/Liquid Mixers Typical liquid flow and powder incorporation rates are as follows: Liquid Flow (tonnes/hour) Gums & Thickeners Milk Proteins incorporation rates shown are in kilos/hour and are for guidance only Operation The Flashmix is designed for use in a recirculation system as shown above. Powder is rapidly incorporated by the self-pumping Flashmix, and a brief period of recirculation results in an agglommerate-free, homogeneous dispersion. An auxiliary in-tank mixer or agitator will normally be required to maintain uniformity in the process vessel. High Speed High Shear Mixers

Operating Sequence Liquid is forced through the system by the pump (1). The liquid flow through the venturi assembly (2) creates a vacuum, boosted by the pumping action of the Silverson In-Line mixer (3). When powder is present in the hopper (4), the valve (5) can be opened and powder is drawn down into the venturi by the vacuum. The powder/liquid mix immediately passes into the high shear rotor/stator assembly of the Silverson In-Line mixer, ensuring a finely dispersed and agglomerate-free mixture. The resultant product is passed back to the process vessel by the pumping action of the...
