FAQ's
-
What is a high shear mixer used for?
A high shear mixer is used for rapid emulsification, dispersion and homogenisation of liquids and semi-viscous products. It is particularly effective for forming stable water-to-oil emulsions in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food production.
-
What types of emulsions can this mixer produce?
The mixer is optimised for water-to-oil emulsions, delivering:
- Fast dispersion
- Fine droplet size reduction
- Stable, light emulsions
- Minimal processing time
It is ideal for creams, lotions, gels and similar formulations.
-
What materials are used in product contact areas?
All wetted (product contact) parts are manufactured from 316L pharmaceutical grade stainless steel, ensuring:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Reduced contamination risk
- Suitability for GMP-regulated environments
The main framework is constructed from 304 grade stainless steel for durability and strength.
-
What speed does the high shear mixer operate at?
The mixer operates at 2,900 rpm as standard, generating high shear forces required for effective emulsification and dispersion.
-
What viscosity range can the mixer handle?
The unit is suitable for products with viscosities of up to 2,000 cP (mPas), covering a wide range of cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food formulations.

Spiral Stirrer
The Spiral Stirrer is designed for applications that require gentle, controlled agitation, making it ideal for medium to high viscosity products (1,000–10,000 cP) and formulations that are particularly delicate. It is perfect for processes where the goal is creating a homogeneous solution or keeping particles in suspension rather than intensive blending. See product -
Gate Stirrer
Our Gate Stirrer is engineered for the slow, controlled stirring of medium to high viscosity formulations, making it ideal for products such as creams, pastes, gels, thick sauces and similar semi solid materials. Designed to deliver thorough and uniform mixing without introducing excessive shear, it is the perfect choice for applications where product texture, integrity and consistency must be preserved.
