New small-scale in-line mixers from Silverson Machines
150 UHS In-Line 088 / 150 UHS UHS-HV
Silverson Machines is launching a new range of small-scale in-line mixers . As one of the most versatile mixers on the market , Silverson high-shear in-line mixers have the ability to form stable emulsions , de-agglomerate , reduce particle sizes , and blend powdered and liquid ingredients . The rotor / stator workhead is impossible to bypass , ensuring that all material is subjected to high shear as it passes through the workhead . The new range has been developed to bridge the gap between the laboratory and production models already available , offering customers more options in terms of batch sizes and processing requirements .
150 UHS small-scale in-line mixer
The 150 UHS In-Line mixer is designed for ultra-hygienic applications typically encountered in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries , where the smallest production-scale mixers may be too large , but laboratory equipment may not offer sufficient capacity . This model is built to the same high specification as production scale UHS mixers and can be supplied with Silverson-designed hygienic single mechanical shaft seals , which can be converted to hygienic double mechanical shaft seals suitable for pressurised flush . They have a crevice-free construction and are designed for clean-in-place ( CIP ) and sterilise-in-place ( SIP ) operations . It is ideal for batches of up to 50 litres .
088 / 150 UHS small-scale multistage in-line mixer
The 088 / 150 UHS is the first smallscale multistage in-line mixer from Silverson Machines . Matching the capabilities of production scale Multistage In-Line mixers , these mixers increase the number of shearing actions per revolution of the rotor , resulting in substantially faster mixing times and expanding the range of products that can be processed in a single pass . The multistage workhead allows customers to configure the mixer to their individual requirements ; depending on the desired results , the stators can be arranged in a number of different combinations .
UHS-HV small-scale in-line mixer
For small-scale manufacturing of higher viscosity products , the 150 UHS-HV matches the capabilities of its production scale equivalent . It incorporates a unique and innovative “ pumping rotor ” design that substantially increases the mixer ’ s self-pumping capacity , making it ideal for processing higher viscosity products . High flow rates , typically around 6,500 litres per hour , are maintained as viscosity rises , often eliminating the need for an additional feed pump .
Any mixer in the new range can be supplied with a vessel package . The Vessel Package comprises a 50-litre vessel , vessel stand , valve , and pipework . Conversion kits are available , allowing the UHS model to be upgraded to a UHS- HV and an FMX10 , a small-scale powder / liquid mixer .
