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.

Benefits

  • Enhances product consistency and texture with precise shearing and emulsification.
  • Increases production efficiency through continuous inline processing.
  • Reduces operational costs with modular, variable-speed design.
  • Ensures regulatory compliance with sanitary 3-A design for food and pharmaceuticals.
  • Streamlines cleaning processes, minimizing contamination risks.
