SILVERSON
Silverson High Shear Laboratory mixing equipment
Silverson Laboratory mixers have been sold all over the world and are used by companies from small start-ups to larger international brands . The popularity of Silverson Laboratory mixers can be attributed to their versatility ; they can be used to mix , emulsify , homogenise , disintegrate and dissolve , with an efficiency and flexibility unmatched by other machines .
Silverson Laboratory mixers are used for a variety of mixing processes from simple liquid / liquid blending , forming emulsions and reducing particle size to more complex mixing applications . They are ideal for all routine laboratory work , research and development , QA analysis and small-scale production .
Silverson offers a comprehensive range of Laboratory scale mixers which are used across industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals and chemicals . Whether you are processing 1ml or mixing batches of 50 litres , whatever your application , you ’ ll be sure to find a mixer to suit your needs .
The advantage of a Silverson over simple agitators and stirrers stems from the specially designed rotor / stator workhead ; the high-speed rotation of the rotor blades draws materials into the workhead where they are intensively mixed , before being projected back into the body of the mix at high velocity . With this method , ingredients are fully incorporated and any agglomerates are eliminated .
The Silverson L5M-A laboratory mixer will soon be available with the body finished in white engineered polymer for increased durability and ease of maintenance . The updated radiused edges allow for easier cleaning . With its integral tachometer , ammeter and programmable timer , the L5M-A offers a level of instrumentation invaluable in applications where process validation and repeatability are required .
There are over 40 workheads , screens and assemblies available for Silverson Laboratory mixers . These easily interchangeable workheads enable any machine to perform a wide range of mixing operations and allow one mixer to perform duties that in the past may have required several different pieces of processing equipment .
One of the main advantages when choosing a Silverson Laboratory mixer for R & D or pilot-scale production is the ability to scale up from the laboratory to full-scale production models with ease .
Silverson offers the largest range of capacities from a single manufacturer - from 1ml up to 30,000 litres - and because all Silverson mixers are manufactured to the same precisionengineered tolerances anything you produce in the laboratory can be replicated in production and scalable results are achievable across the entire product range , without the need for reformulating .
