In-line high shear mixing solution
Achieve precise emulsification and particle size reduction with high shear capabilities, ensuring homogeneous mixing and optimal texture in your liquid formulations, even for high viscosity products.
Pumps, Homogenizes, and Emulsifies High Viscosity Liquids
The High Shear In-line Mixer ME 4100 by INOXPA is designed to manage complex fluid processing challenges, particularly in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetic industries. This equipment excels with its ability to pump, disperse, homogenize, and emulsify products using a compact yet powerful configuration. Operating on a high shear principle, it features a high-speed rotor-stator design to achieve fine particle size reduction, often below 100 microns, ensuring uniformity in challenging formulations like lotions, syrups, and dispersions.
Applications include processing fruit purees, pharmaceutical syrups, and cosmetic creams, making it essential for manufacturers dealing with high viscosity liquids. The ME 4100 enables continuous operation with optional auxiliary pumps for handling fluids exceeding 200cP. It integrates seamlessly with existing lines, thanks to its close-coupled construction and CIP compatibility for efficient cleaning.
The mixer employs materials such as AISI 316L stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance and meets industrial hygiene standards with its sanitary mechanical seals. Its customizable features, like interchangeable heads and motor options, provide versatility to tailor the equipment for specific production requirements, supported by engineering expertise for bespoke solutions.
