Silverson Machines launch three Laboratory scale mixers including a Laboratory scale version of the Silverson Flashmix Powder / Liquid mixer
With advances in design and manufacturing technology , Silverson Machines have added three Laboratory mixers to their product range for high viscosity , hygienic and powder / liquid mixing applications .
The most exciting of the developments in the range is the FMX5 , a laboratory scale version of Silverson ’ s production scale Flashmix powder / liquid mixers . The FMX5 provides a simple , effective and hygienic means of powder / liquid mixing on a Laboratory scale and is able to process higher viscosity mixes .
The FMX5 is suitable for small scale manufacturing and R & D work and offers an accurate means of predicting the performance of the production scale Flashmix , making the scale-up process a simple task .
Offering proven performance on a wide range of powders including Gelatine , Guar Gum , Pectin , and Xanthan gum , as well as Sugars , flours , milk powder etc . the introduction of this new Powder / Liquid mixer to the Silverson product ranges opens up the possibility of many more applications than were previously possible at laboratory scale .
For higher viscosity mixing at a laboratory scale Silverson has developed the Verso-HV , a pilot scale In-Line mixer which matches the capabilities of the production scale Silverson HV In-Line mixers . The Verso-HV incorporates a unique and innovative “ pumping rotor ” design that substantially increases its self-pumping capacity .
High flow rates are maintained as viscosity rises , often eliminating the need for an additional feed pump when processing many higher viscosity

products in the food industry including gums and thickening agents and Mayonnaise . Ideal for R & D and small scale production , the Verso-HV facilitates easy scale up to Silverson ’ s production scale UHS-HV Series In-Line mixers as it is built to the same fine tolerances .
For applications with more stringent and demanding hygiene
FMX5
The FMX5 provides a simple , effective and hygienic means of powder / liquid mixing on a Laboratory scale and is able to process higher viscosity mixes . requirements , Silverson has developed the new Verso UHS . The Verso UHS is an Ultra- Hygienic version of the standard machine and is manufactured with Silverson-designed hygienic single mechanical shaft seals , which can be converted to hygienic double mechanical shaft seals . It has a crevicefree construction and is designed for Cleaning-In- Place ( CIP ) and Sterilise-In- Place ( SIP ) operation .
All three mixers can be supplied with a Vessel Package , comprising of a vessel , stand , valve and pipework , and conversion kits are available allowing the standard Verso to be upgraded to a Verso-HV and an FMX5 , allowing further flexibility within this new series of mixers .
