High Shear Mixers

Multi-stage designs

Double & Quad designs
This seriies includes two or four rows of rotating blades that nest inside a matching stator. The mix material enters through an inlet connection and is accelerated outward by centrifugal force. During each transit through the rotor-stator, the material is subjected to a succession of increasingly intense shearing events -until it finally exits downstream, or is recirculated for another pass through the mixer. Uniform droplets below 1 micron are possible using these designs.

Low Profile X design
The X-Series rotor and stator is comprised of many concentric rows of intermeshing teeth. Tolerances are very close, and the shear rates are extremely high. This unit operates at tip speeds up to 18,000 fpm. The X is a great choice for emulsions and dispersions that would otherwise have required more expensive homogenizers or colloid mills.

MegaShear design
The MegaShear rotor and stator is of a unique design, consisting of opposed, semi-circular, cylindrical grooves that are machined on both the rotor and stator faces. When a fluid is exposed to these opposed partial cylinders, a counter-flow is induced which splits and redirects the flow of the fluid upon itself to create an extremely high-turbulent collision phenomenon.
