Shear pumps for continuous on-line dispersion
Effortlessly achieve consistent shearing and mixing with versatile shear pumps that texturize, emulsify, and blend diverse products, enhancing product quality and smoothness in a continuous, efficient workflow.

Shears, Mixes, Emulsifies, and Reconstitutes Products
The SPX FLOW Shear Pumps are engineered to provide food processors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and chemical processors with a versatile solution for continuous shearing and mixing. These pumps utilize interchangeable stator and rotor configurations, allowing precise control over shearing, mixing, and emulsifying actions. This modular design accommodates applications ranging from emulsifying oil and water-based products to reconstituting milk powders and suspending stable solids in liquids. Suitable for diverse industries, including beverage processing and plant-based food production, the pumps ensure seamless integration into production lines with variable speed operations. Constructed with sanitary design, they meet 3-A standards for food and pharmaceutical processing, facilitating compliance and ease of cleaning.
