Silverson Mixer Homogenisers are fast and efficient and are capable of producing a fine droplet or particle size, typically in the range of 2 – 5 microns. This degree of homogenisation is suitable for the vast majority of products, such as creams and ointments, lotions, sauces and flavour emulsions.
Silverson offers a range of in-tank and In-Line mixer homogenisers for these applications. The precision-machined Silverson workhead generates exceptionally high shear rates in a three‑stage homogenisation process that rapidly achieves the required uniformity of the product.
Advantages of High Shear Homogenisers Over High‑Pressure Alternatives
Significantly less capital expenditure
More energy efficient
Higher throughput
Simple to operate, maintain and clean
Enhance High-Pressure Homogenisation Throughput
For the few applications that demand submicron particle or globule sizes, a high-pressure homogeniser may be required. Where this is the case, passing the product through a high shear Silverson Mixer Homogeniser first will dramatically improve throughput, process efficiency and reduce operating costs. This is because a high-pressure homogenizer works better when fed with a premix of uniform and fine globule or particle size, allowing the product to pass through the homogeniser at a much faster rate, normally in a single pass.
