High-shear mixer for emulsions, dispersions, and foams
Achieve precise emulsions and dispersions effortlessly with high-shear mixing technology, ideal for handling heat-sensitive ingredients and ensuring consistent texture in various formulations.
Mixes, Disperses, and Emulsifies Liquids and Solids
The CR Mixer from SPX Flow is a specialized high-shear in-line mixer designed for precision in mixing, dispersing, and emulsifying a range of products. It’s distinctive for its patented technology that combines product recycling with shear action, offering full control over mixing intensity and duration. Suitable for continuous and batch operations, it excels in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care, producing end products like mayonnaise, chocolate milk, and cosmetic creams. The mixer efficiently handles liquid-liquid, liquid-gas, and liquid-solid combinations, with an adaptable rotor speed and discharge port control for processing up to 300% overruns. Designed for energy efficiency, incremental mixing minimizes temperature rise in heat-sensitive materials. Built to industrial standards, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, supporting automation and remote monitoring. Maintenance is simplified with a CIP system, ensuring compliance with hygiene and safety regulations. Customizable configurations offer tailored solutions to match specific production requirements.
