VMI - 2400L High Shear Mixing Vessel

• Used for emulsifying, homogenising, and dispersing ingredients in the production of sauces, dressings, and dairy alternatives.
• Suitable for creating stable suspensions and slurries in beverage manufacturing.
• Applied in the production of viscous food products such as purees, pastes, and spreads.
• Utilised for dissolving powders into liquids, ensuring consistent product texture and stability.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from several hundred to several thousand litres. This specific unit is 2400L.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Construction material

High shear mixing vessels are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Agitation type

Commonly features a central high shear mixer, often supplemented by top-mounted agitation and scrape surface agitators for comprehensive mixing.

Temperature control

Many units, including this one, are jacketed for heating or cooling, allowing for precise temperature management during processing.

Ancillary equipment

Often integrated with transfer pumps, such as the centrifugal pump mentioned, for efficient product discharge.

• What is the primary benefit of a high shear mixing vessel?

  High shear mixing vessels are designed to rapidly blend, emulsify, and homogenise ingredients, creating fine dispersions and stable emulsions, which is crucial for product consistency and quality.

• Can this type of mixer handle viscous products?

• Is temperature control important for high shear mixing?

• What maintenance is typically required for a high shear mixer?

• What safety features should I look for?

Lab mixers and stirrers hold strong reputations for reliability and durability. Buyers typically prioritise motor condition, speed range suitability, and vessel compatibility when purchasing used units. The equipment category is valued for consistent performance across research and production settings. Key strengths include robust construction, straightforward maintenance, and long operational lifespans. Corrosion resistance of wetted parts merits careful inspection. These devices remain dependable workhorses in pharmaceutical, biotech, and laboratory environments, offering solid value when sourced from reputable sellers with clear service histories.
