Specifications & Key Features
Motor Power Options: Available in three power capacities to suit different formulation thicknesses: 1/6 HP, 1/4 HP, and 1/2 HP.
Variable Rotation Speeds: Depending on the specific model, the equipment operates at high-shear speeds ranging from 20 to 200 RPM (at 50 Hz).
Suggested Capacity Range: Designed for laboratory-scale processing, handling batches from as small as 1 Liter up to 15 Liters depending on the selected model.
Manual Lifting : Manual Lifting for precise, hand-operated vertical adjustments.
Stainless-steel contact parts: SS 304, SS 316 or SS 316L options can be considered according to product compatibility and hygiene requirements.
Compact laboratory footprint: Fits efficiently into formulation, testing and quality-control areas.
Versatile Processing Capabilities: Engineered as a multi-functional system optimized to reduce particle size, create stable emulsions, and produce highly uniform mixing.
Applications
Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used in R&D to develop medicinal creams, ointments, and syrups by suspending active ingredients and creating highly stable emulsions.
Cosmetics & Personal Care: Ideal for blending lotions, shampoos, body washes, and cosmetic creams to ensure a smooth, consistent, and uniform texture.
Food & Beverage Development: Employed for laboratory-scale emulsification of sauces, salad dressings, dairy products, and flavor dispersions before moving to mass production.
Paints, Inks, and Coatings: Crucial for uniformly dispersing pigments and reducing particle sizes to create vibrant, smooth-flowing inks, paints, and specialized chemical mixtures.
Quality Control & Recipe Scaling: Acts as an essential testing tool for general laboratory research, allowing technicians to perfect formulations in small 1-to-10-liter batches before scaling up to industrial processing lines.
