High shear mixer for low viscosity products
Achieve precise mixing and dispersion for diverse liquid applications with a high shear mixer designed for inline processing, ensuring exceptional product consistency and efficiency in your production line.
Mixes, Dispenses, and Recycles Low-Viscosity Liquids
The GEA INLINE FORMULA® SOL High Shear Mixer from GEA offers a versatile mixing solution for food, beverage, and dairy manufacturers. It features a bottom-mounted high shear mixing device with a multirotor system for effective dispersion and a centrifugal pump for continuous in-line processing. With applications ranging from fruit juices to nutritional formulas, this mixer supports a throughput suiting varying production scales. Designed with internal and external recirculation options, it enhances ingredient integration and minimizes product storage time. The closed vacuum system ensures a hygienic operation, while the customizable design supports integration into existing production lines. Constructed from durable materials, it withstands rigorous usage in demanding environments. Manufacturer-supported trials in Germany and Denmark allow for production scaling before full deployment.
