Powder/liquid mixing system for homogeneous dispersions
Struggling to integrate challenging powders into liquid formulations? This system ensures rapid, agglomerate-free blending, streamlining your production process to handle viscosities from thin liquids to thick gels efficiently.
Rapidly Disperses and Homogenizes Powders and Liquids
The Flashblend Powder/Liquid Mixing System from Silverson Machines revolutionizes the integration of powders and liquids with its high shear, rapid dispersion capabilities. Designed for continuity and versatility, this system excels in applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to food processing, cosmetics, and industrial chemicals. With throughput rates reaching up to 30,000 lbs/hour, it efficiently processes products such as oral suspensions, protein shakes, and heavy-duty detergents.
Utilizing a venturi chamber and In-Line mixer, the Flashblend creates a vacuum to draw powders directly into the liquid stream, ensuring a consistent, agglomerate-free mix. This equipment supports continuous and semi-continuous operations, minimizing production halts with its clean-in-place (CIP) system, optional sterilize-in-place (SIP), and customizable configurations like conveyor or dust extraction integration.
Constructed with 316 stainless steel for durability and chemical resistance, the system is equipped with TEFC and washdown duty motors, offering optional stainless steel motors for enhanced cleanliness. Tri-clamp fittings and an integral stainless steel control panel facilitate seamless operation and integration into existing setups. Ideal for diverse sectors, from dairy to biopharmaceuticals, the Flashblend ensures efficiency, reliability, and adaptability in demanding production environments.
