STANDARD IMMERSION MIXERS

S F Engineering's high speed immersion mixers offer considerable advantages over conventional stirrer/agitator systems. They are precision built products designed to give long trouble-free operation.

A precision designed rotor/stator arrangement is the key to their effective performance and high processing speeds. The bladed rotor rotates at high speed inside a fixed outer ring cutter or stator. This generates enormous centrifugal force drawing the material into the cutting chamber where it is subjected to a powerful mixing and cutting action.

It is then forced at high velocity centrifugally through the stator head generating high shear forces. The process is then repeated continuously with the entire vessel contents to give uniform and progressive processing of the material but with little or no aeration or surface disturbance. By varying the rotor/stator arrangement, it is possible to produce a wide choice of shear ranges to suit different applications. Interchangeable heads mean that the same mixing machine can be used to perform a variety of functions including homogenising, blending, dispersing and emulsifying. We will also design special rotor/stator combinations for customers with specific requirements.
