Silverson Machines launch new Small-scale mixer range
For more than 75 years Silverson Machines has specialised in the manufacture of quality high-shear mixers for the food and beverage industries .
Silverson offer a wide range of high-shear mixers available that are ideal for food applications , ranging from the most popular L5M-A multi-purpose Laboratory mixer up to in-tank mixers that can process batches of up to 30,000 litres . And as of 2024 , Silverson Machines can now offer customers even more mixing options with the launch of a new range of small-scale mixers . This new range includes an “ Ultra Hygienic ” small-scale mixer , a small-scale unit suitable for higher viscosity mixes , a small-scale Multi-stage In-Line mixer and a small-scale powder / liquid mixer . These new additions complement the different types of laboratory and production models already available from Silverson , but importantly offer customers more options in terms of batch sizes and processing requirements .
In many cases , a Silverson mixer can replace a high-pressure homogeniser in a processing line .
With the exceptionally rapid mixing action of a Silverson high shear mixer , all mixers in the product range can benefit manufacturers of food and beverage applications . The high shear rotor / stator workhead at the heart of every Silverson mixer substantially reduces processing times when compared to conventional agitators and stirrers . For food and beverage applications Silverson mixers are ideal for :
• Hydrating and deagglomerating gums and thickeners
Agglomerates are instantaneously broken down as they pass through the rotor / stator workhead , resulting in an agglomerate-free mix with maximum yield .
• Reclaiming waste or out-of-spec product
• Dissolving 14 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk
For example , Silverson mixers can produce a 66 Brix sugar solution at ambient temperature
• Homogenising
In many cases , a Silverson mixer can replace a high-pressure homogeniser in a processing line . They can also be used to create a uniform premix that will pass through a high-pressure homogeniser at a much faster rate and often in a single pass .
• Reducing particle size
• High Viscosity mixing
The innovative pumping rotor design of Silverson ’ s HV range mixers allows them to process higher viscosity products , these are now also available at small-scale .
• Blending liquids of varying viscosities
• Forming stable emulsions A Silverson mixer can easily create a stable emulsion with a droplet size of 2 – 5 microns , results down to 0.5 microns can be achieved depending on the formulation .
