The Silverson Ultramix was developed for applications which are beyond the capabilities of conventional mixing equipment such as agitators and stirrers, but do not necessarily require the intense high shear of a rotor/stator mixer. For example, applications which require the rapid wetting out powders including gums and thickeners.
It is also suitable for applications which use shear-sensitive ingredients that can deteriorate if too much shear is implied during the production process, but without sacrificing the benefits associated with high shear mixing equipment.
The Ultramix comprises of a dynamic mixing head which is able to achieve excellent in-tank movement, making the mixer ideal for mixing in difficult shaped containers. The vigorous mixing action produced by the mixing head is able to circulate the entire contents of the vessel, even at high viscosities, so localised mixing is minimised/eliminated.
