High shear lab mixer for laboratory work and r&d
Achieve unparalleled precision and consistency in laboratory and pilot-scale mixing operations with our high shear lab mixer, engineered to handle a wide range of materials from difficult-to-emulsify substances to viscous slurries, enabling efficient process validation and scalability.
Mixes, Emulsifies, Homogenizes, and Disintegrates
The L5M-A Laboratory Mixer from Silverson Machines stands out as a versatile high shear mixer designed for small-scale production and R&D environments. Its unique rotor/stator workhead ensures efficient mixing, emulsifying, and homogenizing, even with challenging materials like colloidal suspensions and thickeners. With capacities from 1 ml to 12 liters and in-line mixing capabilities up to 20 liters per minute, it provides scalable results for various industries, including pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. The L5M-A features a touch screen control with a digital tachometer and integral timer, which are vital for process validation and reproducibility. Constructed with 316L stainless steel wetted parts, the mixer is robust and easy to clean, facilitating compliance with GMP and FDA standards. With over 40 interchangeable workheads available, users can customize the mixing process to meet specific application needs.
