Homogenizers for creams and ointments
When creating creams, ointments, and similar products, achieving a fine, uniform droplet or particle size is crucial. Problems like inconsistent texture and instability in the final product can arise without proper homogenization.
Produce fine, consistent emulsions
The Silverson Mixer Homogenizers are designed to provide efficient, cost-effective homogenization for a variety of products including lotions, sauces, and flavor emulsions. These homogenizers generate high shear rates through a three-stage process using a precision-machined workhead, rapidly achieving uniformity with droplet or particle sizes typically between 2 to 5 microns. This makes them particularly suited for the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Silverson offers in-tank and in-line options, ensuring versatility in application. Additionally, the system enhances throughput when used as a precursor to high-pressure homogenizers for products requiring submicron particle sizes. Using Silverson’s high shear mixer first leads to improved process efficiency and reduced operating costs.
Benefits
- Fine droplet size (2-5 microns) ensures product consistency
- Reduced capital expenditure compared to high-pressure alternatives
- Higher energy efficiency and throughput
- Easy to operate, maintain, and clean
