High Shear Mixer
High Shear Mixers are customized for each application. Our engineers have built systems to deliver high shear mixing in a beaker up to dispersers that process hundreds of gallons at a time.
The most common high shear mixer is a disperser. Dispersers use dispersion blades turning at high RPMs to pulverize a liquid batch. Depending on the viscosity, Mixer Direct has a host of high-speed dispersers to convert different percentages of the energy provided by the motor to shear or to promote liquid movement. Without a correct understanding of that ratio, you can have a high shear mixer but your batch can be irregular in its grind because of dead spots. Some of the high-speed dispersers and blades of our new ultra shear line have performed so incredibly well that they have eliminated the need to mill coatings after dispersion.
