Usually called “high-shear mixers,” these are the most common form of dispersing/homogenizing emulsifiers. They operate by a rotor running at high speed inside a stator. It provides shear action between the blades and stator shroud. As material is pumped through the mixing head, it enters the high-shear zone, where intense mixing occurs. When small or uniform dispersion sizes are required, material must be cycled through the head many times to ensure statistically that all material has passed through the shear zone.

Pumping Action:
Because of the rotating disc operating at very high speed, the inline homogenizer with stator works like a pump. It moves material through the system without any supplementary pump. However, because of viscosity variation or length of pipeline, the flow may reduce below expectation. In this case, it is supplemented by an auxiliary pump installed in the system to maintain homogenizing/emulsifying efficiency.

End Connection:
Inlet & outlet are normally fitted with DIN, Tri-Clover sanitary screw fittings. Other fittings can be provided on request.

Sealing:
Single mechanical seal with a carbon/silicon combination is provided. Special single or double sealing is also available for corrosive products containing lye, latex, abrasive solids, etc.
