High Shear Emulsifier for Small Batch Production - 10L to 50L

A standard high shear mixer can typically achieve particle or globule sizes in the range of 2-5 microns. In some formulations, sizes down to 0.5 microns (submicron) are possible . However, the final particle size depends heavily on the formulation itself-including raw material properties, surfactants, temperature, and viscosity . For this reason, lab-scale testing with actual materials is recommended.

Yes. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, high shear mixers are commonly used for wet granulation. The machine uses an impeller to mix powders and a chopper to break wet lumps, controlling granule growth. This produces granules with better flowability and compressibility for tablet pressing, reducing segregation and tablet defects

A high-pressure homogenizer uses a piston pump to force product through a tiny aperture at very high pressure, achieving sub-micron particles. However, it has low throughput, high energy consumption, and high maintenance requirements . A high shear mixer is much more energy-efficient, offers higher throughput, and can achieve 2-5 micron particle sizes for most applications. High shear mixers bridge the gap between simple agitators and high-pressure homogenizers
