Shear pumps for continuous on-line dispersion
In food or pharmaceutical manufacturing, achieving a uniform mixture and stable emulsions is crucial. Problems often arise when trying to blend or texturize products without incorporating air or leaving lumps. Effective reconstitution of powdered products such as milk powders can also be challenging.
Texturizes, emulsifies, blends, and reconstitutes products
The shear pumps offered by SPX Flow are designed for continuous on-line shearing and mixing actions. These pumps are versatile, featuring a choice of modularly interchangeable stators and rotors. This allows the pumps to texturize products like ricotta cheese, emulsify oil and water-based ingredients, blend without air incorporation, reconstitute powdered products, suspend solids in liquids, and polish to provide a smoother and more uniform surface texture. Users can also adjust the shear and mixing effects by utilizing variable speed drives. The equipment is especially suitable for low viscosity liquids and comes in a sanitary design, meeting 3-A sanitary standards, making it ideal for food and pharmaceutical processing applications.
