Silverson Mixer Operating principle


Stage1


As the rotor rotates at high speed inside the workhead, a strong suction force is generated, and liquids and solids are sucked in from the underside.


Stage2


Liquids and solids sucked into the workhead are pushed outward due to the centrifugal force created by the rotation of the rotor, and are strongly sheared as they pass through the small clearance between the rotor and stator.


Stage3


The powerfully sheared solution is discharged through the stator opening.
At this time, strong liquid shearing occurs.


Stage4


The solution discharged from the workhead flows along the inner wall of the tank, and at the same time new material is sucked in from the underside of the head so that continuous shearing and stirring action continues.


Interchangeable workheads


All Silverson Mixers are equipped with workheads that can be easily replaced according to the application.
By selecting a workhead according to the purpose of mixing, emulsifying, homogenizing, disintegrating, dispersing, subdividing, and de-agglomerating,  it is possible to perform various operations with one mixer.



  • General round hole stator: Applicable to a wide range of applications. Agglomerate disintegration, gelling agent and thickener dispersion, emulsion and slurry dispersion, etc.
  • Emulsor Screens: liquid + liquid mixing, emulsification, etc.
  • Slotted Disintegrating Head: the disintegration of fibrous materials such as animal and vegetable tissue, the disintegration and solubilization of elastic materials such as rubbers and polymers.
  • Square Hole High Shear Screen: The highest shearing force. Disintegration and emulsification into crystalline solids.

Laboratory Mixer

A single Silverson laboratory mixer can fit a variety of applications.
You can select and use the most suitable workhead from a variety of more than 40 types according to your purpose, such as mixing, emulsifying, homogenizing, disintegrating, dispersing, subdividing, and de-agglomerating.  You can get the correct information you need when scaling up to a production line.

Duplex Mixer


In a duplex mixer, the upper and lower workhead are installed back-to-back, and the upper head sucks materials that tends to float downward, while the lower head sucks materials that tends to sink upward.

It activates liquid circulation in the tank, and demonstrates a high shearing effect due to the double workhead.



Ultramix


Ultramix is a new product developed for the purpose of powerfully stirring the solution with stirring that does not require high shearing force like the rotor / stator type High Shear Mixer.
It is possible to install it in a small space due to its small, high-speed rotating head.
It is effective for stirring solutions in IBC containers with small apertures.




In-Line Mixer


Silverson In-Line Mixer keeps the high shear effect generated by the rotor and stator, and by passing the solution in the tank evenly through the workhead, it can exhibit mixing effect without air contamination.
It is easy to retrofit to the existing stirring line and has a pumping effect, so it can produce a large effect at low cost.
Workheads can also be easily replaced to support various applications.
Sanitary property and maintainability are excellent and can be used safely for a long time.




In-Line Mixer Operating principle

Stage 1
As the rotor rotates at high speed inside the workhead, a strong suction force is generated, and liquids and solids are sucked in from the workhead inlet.


Stage 2
Liquids and solids sucked into the workhead are pushed outward due to the centrifugal force created by the rotation of the rotor, and are strongly sheared as they pass through the small clearance between the rotor and stator.


Stage 3
The powerfully sheared solution is discharged through the stator opening.
At this time, strong liquid shearing occurs.
The solution is pushed out from the outlet, and at the same time new material is sucked in from the inlet of the head so that continuous shearing and pumping action continues.

Flashmix


The Flashmix was developed by Silverson with all of its expertise in powder/liquid mixing processes. It enables high-speed powder suction and realizes high-speed mixing processing.

The solution mixed by the high-precision In-Line Mixer is in a homogeneous state without powder lumps or air mixing.

Tri-clamp fittings are standard standard specification, making it easy to add to existing systems. It has excellent sanitary properties and can be used for Cleaning-In-Place (CIP).



Flashmix Operating principle

Stage 1
As the rotor rotates at high speed inside the workhead, a strong suction force is generated, and liquids are sucked in from the workhead inlet.


Stage 2
By opening the butterfly valve of the hopper containing the powder, the powder is drawn into the liquid stream and sucked into the workhead.


Stage 3
The powerfully sheared solution is discharged through the stator opening.
At this time, strong liquid shearing occurs.
The solution is pushed out from the outlet, and at the same time new material is sucked in from the inlet of the head so that continuous shearing and pumping action continues.





Bottom Entry Mixer


The Bottom Entry Mixer is a rotor/stator type mixer installed at the bottom of the tank. Since the motor and the workhead are directly connected, it has high rigidity, and is suitable for use in the high viscosity solution manufacturing process by crushing large masses and combining with a low-speed agitator or a scraper type agitator.
