Pilot scale batch mixer for small scale production
Achieve precise control and consistency in small-scale production with this advanced batch mixer, designed to handle complex formulations like emulsions and gel solutions with high shear efficiency.

Mixes, Emulsifies, Homogenizes, and Disintegrates
The Silverson AX Series Pilot Scale Batch Mixer is engineered for small-scale production, particularly in research and development settings across industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food processing. This mixer stands out for its efficient high shear rotor/stator design, enabling uniform mixing, emulsifying, and homogenizing. It operates with a powerful 1HP motor, offering variable speeds up to 6000 rpm, ensuring optimal processing across a range of liquids, powders, and high-viscosity materials. Capable of handling volumes up to 50 liters, it integrates seamlessly into your existing setup with options for electric or air-powered motors, making it suitable for controlled environments including explosion-hazard areas. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, it is both corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, meeting stringent sanitary standards. With its touch pad controls and compatibility with data-logging systems, it supports process validation and repeatability, ensuring reliable outcomes for products such as syrups, gels, lotions, and emulsified dairy products.
