Mixing at Large Scale? Silverson Can Help!

You may already be familiar with Silverson Machines’ renowned range of laboratory and small-scale mixing equipment. However, when it comes to large-scale industrial mixing, Silverson stands unrivalled.

As the world leader in the specialised design and manufacture of rotor/stator mixers, Silverson Machines produces equipment with capacities of up to 30,000 litres. Each large-scale mixer is built to order in the UK, individually constructed to meet the precise requirements of every customer.

Precision Engineering and Scalable Performance

One of Silverson Machines’ key advantages is its unique ability to scale up mixing processes from laboratory testing through to full-scale production. While many mixer manufacturers provide high-speed laboratory models with no production equivalent, Silverson offers the widest range of capacities from a single manufacturer.

Every Silverson mixer is manufactured to the same exacting engineering tolerances, ensuring that scalable results can be achieved across the entire product range. This means that data gathered in the lab translates directly into consistent, repeatable performance at production scale.

Silverson’s large-scale in-tank Batch Mixers share the same mixing principles and versatility as the medium-range Batch models, but with a number of unique engineering enhancements designed for heavy-duty operation and extended service life.

Engineered for Large-Scale Production

Each mixer in the Silverson range is built to the highest possible standards of British engineering. For large-scale in-tank mixers, the designs feature specially balanced motors, precision-ground shafts, and components that are finish-turned in-house. These ensure critical vibration-free operation, which is vital when mixing at large volumes.

To minimise maintenance and downtime, Silverson large-scale mixers include several advanced design elements:

• Quick-release shaft couplings for easy disassembly and cleaning
• Split two-part downthrust propellers to optimise flow and performance
• Hard-surfaced sacrificial shaft journal sleeves for extended durability

These features make Silverson’s equipment particularly suited to food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical production, and other demanding industrial applications.

Additional Large-Scale Solutions

In addition to the in-tank Batch Mixers, Silverson Machines offers other large-scale mixing systems such as the Silverson Duplex Disintegrator and the D2500 Disintegrator/Dissolver, ideal for solid/liquid mixing and dispersion processes. These systems are specifically engineered to handle tough materials, ensuring rapid dissolution and uniform product quality.

Trusted Worldwide

From its base in the UK, Silverson Machines continues to set the benchmark for high shear mixing technology. Its equipment is trusted by leading global brands in sectors ranging from cosmetics and beverages to petrochemicals and adhesives.

For over 75 years, Silverson has been synonymous with reliability, performance, and innovation in the field of industrial mixing. Whether you’re scaling up production or developing new formulations, Silverson has the expertise and technology to help you achieve outstanding results every time.
