High shear powder mixing solution
Integrating powders into liquids without forming agglomerates is challenging, especially in high-viscosity and high-temperature mixes. Traditional mixers can struggle with these tasks, leading to non-uniform products and increased processing times.
Force powders into liquid stream effectively
The Silverson Flashmix is a high shear powder mixing solution designed to incorporate powders into liquids efficiently. Unlike conventional mixers that rely on vacuum, the Flashmix forces powder directly into the liquid stream, ensuring rapid dispersion and hydration. This method is effective even at higher temperatures and viscosities, expanding the range of applications. The mixer achieves agglomerate-free, homogeneous results by subjecting the mix to intense mechanical and hydraulic shear. The self-pumping mechanism allows for minimized aeration and consistent performance. Constructed with 316L stainless steel for product contact parts and 304 stainless steel chassis, the Flashmix adheres to sanitary standards with options for Cleaning-In-Place (CIP). It is available in several models, such as the FMX25, FMX50, and FMX75, each with varying powder incorporation rates and hopper sizes. The design is ergonomic, modular, and easy to install, operate, and clean, making it versatile for various industrial applications.
