Key Applications of High Shear Mixers
Shear Mixing involves using high-speed rotors to create shear forces that mix materials efficiently. This process is vital in industries where precise mixing is required to ensure product consistency and quality.
High Shear Homogenizers are used to break down particles and create uniform mixtures, especially in the pharmaceutical and food industries. These homogenizers ensure that ingredients are evenly distributed, resulting in stable and homogeneous products.
Powder Mixing use high shear mixers because of their ideal for ensuring that the particles are evenly distributed. This process is crucial in industries such as pharmaceuticals, where uniformity is essential for product efficacy.
Granulation involves forming powder particles into larger granules. High shear mixers are used in this process to ensure that the granules are uniform in size and consistency, which is essential for tablet formation in the pharmaceutical industry.
