Salient Features Applications - The ME-4100 series of the inline high shear mixers offer a possibility to pump, disperse, homogenize and emulsify a wide range of products. - It is especially useful in already existing facilities as tanks need no modifications that are required by the installation of a vertical or bottom of the tank models.
- They can work with a recirculation tank reaching the utmost efficiency after passing through the mixer several times. - Due to the CIP/SIP-able design, the mixes can be used in the applications of the pharmaceutical industry. - The example of some applications is production of ophthalmologic or contact lens solutions, syrups, pill coatings, creams, lotions and injection products. Operating Principle - The casing is similar to a centrifugal pump one, it houses the stator and the rotor.
- It is characterised by a high shear due to an adjusted tolerance between the rotor and the stator and the high speed of the rotor. - The product is suction through the horizontal inlet and the rotor pushes it to the stator. - Passing through the slots of the stator the product is mechanically sheared, the particles are sheared by the rotor at the speed of more than 20 m/s. - And finally the flow is hydraulically sheared leaving through the slots of the stator at a high speed. - If the viscosity of the product exceeds 200 Cp or the discharge pressure is high, an auxiliary pump is required. Design and features - High shear, particle reduction to the size less than 100 microns. - Sanitary single mechanical seal. - Slotted head (standard). - Various easily interchangeable working heads. - Completely CIP/SIP-able. - Drainage port connection (in the casing): ¾". - Standard connection: Clamp ISO 2852. - Close-coupled construction, small baseplate. - Motor shroud. - Motors: IEC B5, IP 55, F-class insulation.
