Powder/Liquid Mixer Doubles Speed

The latest Silverson Flashmix powder/liquid mixer is now two times faster. Powder is incorporated into liquid at a rate of 500 lb/min. The Flashmix incorporates new technology, allowing it to bring the benefits of high-shear mixing to new applications. It can be used at higher temperatures and with higher viscosity mixes, than previously possible.

Unlike other powder/liquid mixers that use vacuum to pull in powders, the Flashmix literally forces powder into the liquid stream - there's no venturi, no vacuum. When the powder and liquid components are introduced directly into the high-shear zone of the mixer, they are subjected to intense mechanical and hydraulic shear, which instantaneously combines them, producing a homogeneous product without agglomerates.
