High shear test mixers for developing new products
Streamline product development with high shear test mixers, allowing you to simulate full-scale production processes, optimize formulations, and validate parameters before scaling up, significantly reducing time-to-market and minimizing investment risks.
Simulates Full-Scale Mixing and Homogenization
The GEA MIXING FORMULA® High Shear Test Mixer, available in various capacities like the 100L, 500L, and 750L models, is engineered for precise pilot scale testing and process validation. Leveraging GEA’s expertise, these mixers simulate full-scale production behavior by utilizing high shear forces to mix and homogenize products effectively. Suitable for applications in nutritional formulas, reconstituted milk, and personal care products, it enables efficient testing of recipes and optimization of process parameters.
These mixers feature advanced process controls including recipe management, temperature, and high-pressure settings, ensuring consistency and quality in operations. Their flexibility extends to accommodating batch or continuous processes, with options for both batch formula and inline solutions. Designed to meet rigorous hygiene standards, these mixers support easy cleaning with built-in CIP systems.
With capacities ranging from 100L to 750L, they cater to both small and medium testing purposes, ideal for food, beverage, and chemical industries. Automation via PLC systems facilitates integration into existing production lines, enhancing throughput with reduced cycle times and improved product uniformity. Available for rental, they offer a risk-free trial period to perfect manufacturing setups before committing to full-scale equipment purchases, supported by GEA’s comprehensive engineering and customization capabilities.
