Silverson’s Range Of Rotor/stator Workheads For Increased Versatility
Key points
Listen to this article
In a recent video, Silverson explains and demonstrates their range of workheads and screens. These workheads allow any machine to be adapted to perform a wide range of mixing operations including emulsifying, homogenising, disintegrating, dissolving, dispersing, blending, particle size reduction and de-agglomerating.
So a Silverson mixer can be used in place of several pieces of mixing equipment, with changing from one head or screen to another a quick and simple process.
General Purpose Disintegrating Head
The Silverson General Purpose Disintegrating Head is the most versatile of all of the Silverson workheads, giving an exceptionally vigorous mixing action and the greatest throughput. The General Purpose Disintegrating Head workhead is ideal for general mixing applications and can be used across a range of industries.
Its uses also include:
the disintegration of solids and semi solid materials
the preparation of gels and thickeners
the preparation of suspensions, solutions and slurries
blending liquids or similar or greatly varying viscosities
Slotted Disintegrating Head
The Slotted Disintegrating Head is recommended for products which require the disintegration of fibrous materials such as animal and vegetable tissue. It can also be used for the disintegration and solubilisation of “elastic” materials such as rubbers and polymers.
Square Hole High Shear Screen
The configuration and fine internal tolerances of this stator provide exceptionally high shear rates, ideal for the rapid size reduction of soluble and insoluble granular solids. It is also suitable for the preparation of emulsions, gels and thickeners and fine colloidal suspensions.
Standard Emulsor Head and Emulsor Screen
Silverson Emulsor Screens are available in either fine or medium which is the standard. These screens are ideal for liquid/liquid preparations and can be used where there is a different in viscosity between liquids.
Silverson Machines are world leaders in the design and manufacturing of high shear mixers as well as specialising in Powder/Liquid Mixers, Hygienic Mixers and Disintegrator/Dissolvers. Our technology has many applications and spans food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals and the lube oils industries.
