The homogenizers are useful for manufacturing suspensions, emulsions and homogeneous solutions. The equipment consists of stator and rotor assembly made out of stainless steel. The stator is supported on the motor by means of stainless steel supporting rods and the-rotor moves inside the stator. The stator is provided with slots and the material passes through these slots several times and thus size reduction and homogenization is obtained. The unit is fixed on the self-supported stand having castor wheels. The up and down movement is obtained by means of telescopic arrangement.
HIGH SHEAR PRODUCTION MODEL
High Shear Mixers is capable of handling batches from 50ml to 50,000 Ltrs. Normally a mechanical seal above the shaft and flanges is provided to allow the mixer to be anchored to the top of an enclosed vessel. Suitable for either atmospheric or vacuum / pressure mixing, these mixers are designed for applications that require an extra measure of protection against contamination. Sanitary design models are also available. Various design of Head is available for High Shear Mixer but these can be broadly classified as Single Stage Design & Multi Stage Design :
SINGLE STAGE DESIGN
The Single stage rotor/stator mixer is used for the production of Emulsions and Suspensions requiring a coarse to medium particle size with a narrow distribution. A single set of four blades rotates in the stationary stator. As the rotating blades pass each opening in the stator, they mechanically shear the particles and droplets, and expel the material at high velocity, creating intense hydraulic shear. With the rotor turning at 3000 to 4000 feet per minute(fpm), the generator applies intense mechanical and hydraulic shear. These mixers are available with variety of interchangeable stators to fine tune such functions as particle reduction, de-agglomeration and emulsification. A vide range of options is available on the motors, base, material of construction . These mixers are easy for cleaning.
Accurately machined, vertical, rectangular openings provide a maximum surface shearing area. Small to medium sized solids are rapidly reduced with this head. Excellent circulation and high shear capabilities indicate its use for emulsions and other medium viscosity formulations.
Best applied for general purpose mixing or for particle size reduction. The round openings in this head provide the best circulation of all stators. This head is used for maximum circulation in fluids of higher viscosity.
- EMULSOR HEAD AND FINE SCREEN
A fine screen combined with an outer retaining head with larger openings provides for the highest possible shearing action. Difficult emulsification requirements or the suspension of fine powders are best carried out using this stator head combination

MULTI STAGE DESIGN
Multi stage rotor/stator generators include two, three or four rows of rotating blades that nest inside a matching stator. The mix material enters the centre of the generator through an inlet connection and is accelerated outwards by centrifugal force. During each transit through the rotor/stator generator, the material is subject to a quick succession on increasingly intense shearing events until it finally exits the generator and is piped either to a downstream or re-circulated. By applying a series of shearing events with every pass through the generator, the multi stage mixer accelerates the mixing process dramatically. This action also produces particles and droplets that are quite small.
QUAD SLOT
The Quad slot mixer is a high shear, four stage dispersing mixer for the production of micro- emulsions and very fine suspensions. Four rows of the rotor/stator combination in a series produce a small particle or droplet size , with a very narrow distribution.
