High shear powder mixing solution
Achieve agglomerate-free, homogeneous mixing of powders and liquids with high shear efficiency, ideal for demanding applications that require fast incorporation rates and reduced aeration.
Incorporates and Mixes Powders into Liquids
The Silverson Flashmix is an innovative high shear powder/liquid mixer designed to address the challenges of efficient powder incorporation. This cutting-edge equipment forces powders into liquid streams, unlike conventional vacuum-based systems, offering robust performance in high-viscosity and high-temperature processes. Ideal for industries ranging from biopharmaceuticals to food and beverage, the Flashmix ensures agglomerate-free mixing, producing consistent and uniform end-products like protein powders, enzyme solutions, and flavored beverages.
Capable of incorporating powders at rates up to 500 lbs/min, the Flashmix is adaptable for batch and continuous operations, handling diverse product types such as slurries and viscous solutions. Its modular construction allows for seamless integration into existing production lines, and optional pneumatic valves enable semi-automated processing, enhancing operational efficiency. Constructed with 316L stainless steel for product contact parts and featuring sanitary single mechanical shaft seals, the Flashmix is both corrosion-resistant and suitable for CIP (Cleaning-In-Place), ensuring compliance with industry hygiene standards. Additionally, it offers customization options, including various hopper sizes and motor types, to meet specific process requirements and production scales.
