Design and Features

The mixer is designed to support the processing of high-viscosity products. The rotor-stator structure used in the design generates continuous motion and high mixing energy; this is effective in reducing particle size and achieving a more stable dispersion. Stainless steel contact parts provide durability and hygiene, while features such as the hydraulic lifting system offer operational convenience and safe use.

Vertical Mixer

What is Vertical Mixer?

The vertical mixer is an industrial mixing system designed to homogenize difficult-to-mix and high-density raw materials in a short time. Thanks to the high shear effect generated between the rotating and stationary parts, it finely disperses the materials and improves the quality of the mixture.

It ensures uniform distribution of the material by preventing clumping, especially in powder and liquid mixtures.

It provides controlled, reliable, and repeatable mixing performance in dense and difficult-to-flow products.

Advantages of Vertical Mixers

The vertical mixers rapidly and homogeneously mixes high-density raw materials in powder-liquid and liquid-liquid applications. Thanks to the high shear effect generated between the rotating and stationary parts, the materials are finely dispersed and the mixing quality is improved.

This structure provides controlled, reliable, and repeatable mixing performance in dense and difficult-to-flow products.

How Does a Vertical Mixer Work?

The mixing system operates with a specially designed rotor and stator, generating high shear. The product is drawn from both above and below the mixing head and expelled at high speed through the stator openings, creating continuous circulation within the mixture.

This design allows powdered raw materials to wet quickly without remaining on the liquid surface, prevents clumping, and achieves homogeneity in a short time. It provides controlled and repeatable mixing performance even in dense and difficult-to-flow products.

DESIGN

It is generally used as a standalone system and does not require an additional mixing system for products with viscosities up to approximately 50,000 cP. For higher-viscosity and difficult-to-flow applications, a multi-shaft mixing configuration operating together with an optional anchor-type agitator provides an alternative solution that can be integrated according to process requirements.

SCALABILITY

The mixers are available, as an optional configuration, in a wide capacity range—from compact benchtop models used in laboratory environments to large-scale production systems with power options ranging from 3kW to 110kW. This flexible structure adapts to different production needs and process scales, allowing users to select the most suitable solution for their application.

Sub-surface Powder Induction

The sub-surface powder induction feature is an optional add-on compatible with solid-liquid injection systems. When this option is selected, the mixer is equipped with a specially designed rotor and stator that create a controlled vacuum in the high-shear zone. This allows powdered raw materials to be drawn directly from beneath the liquid surface, without dispersing on top, into the mixture. This approach accelerates wetting of the powders, reduces clumping, and significantly improves mixing quality, especially in sensitive applications.

Unparalleled Performance

The patented Delta rotor design operates at tip speeds of up to 1524m/min, generating extremely high shear. As a result, compared to other batch-type mixing solutions—including high-speed dispersers, conventional rotor-stator systems, and immersion mills—it achieves finer and more uniform dispersions. The resulting dispersion quality is equivalent to that obtained in one or two passes with a media mill in many applications, contributing to shorter process times and increased production efficiency.

Main Application Areas

Which Industries Is It Suitable For?

Mixers with high-shear technology are widely used in many industries because they effectively process difficult-to-mix and high-viscosity raw materials. Their powerful mixing structure provides fast dispersion, homogeneous mixing, and consistent product quality.
