Dispersing powders into liquids and creating a consistent, homogeneous product, time after time, is one of the most difficult of all mixing tasks.
At Silverson, we understand the complexities involved in achieving optimal powder incorporation. That’s why we offer a range of specialized products designed to provide efficient and reliable solutions for this critical process. The selection of the right equipment depends on factors such as batch size, ingredient types, and end product viscosity.
Silverson Ultramix: Rapid and Hygienic Powder Incorporation
The Silverson Ultramix is a hygienic closed-rotor mixer engineered to rapidly and effectively incorporate high percentages of powders into liquids. With its advanced design, this mixer excels at handling challenging powders and is the ideal choice for IBC tote mixing applications. Key benefits include:
- Effective for Challenging Powders: The Ultramix excels at incorporating difficult powders that tend to float or "raft," including light-density powders that traditional agitators struggle to overcome due to buoyancy. Its vigorous action also effectively handles fine and cohesive powders, preventing clumps and agglomerates from forming to ensure even distribution throughout your mix.
- Small Diameter Mixing Head: The narrow profile of the Ultramix is particularly well-suited for use in containers with small openings, such as IBCs (tote bins). The simple yet robust design of the single-piece mixing head means there are no wearing parts or bushings, making it a more durable and low-maintenance solution compared to folding impeller mixers which utilize hinges, pivot points or other folding mechanisms that are more prone to wear and failure over time.
- Vigorous In-Tank Movement: The Ultramix creates a powerful axial flow pattern throughout the vessel, ensuring all materials are constantly engaged in the mixing process. Agitators and impellers might not achieve the same level of movement, especially in high viscosity mixes, leaving you with pockets of unmixed material.
Flashmix: High-Speed Bulk Powder Dispersion
For bulk powder dispersion, Silverson offers the Flashmix, a high-performance powder/liquid mixing system. This cutting-edge solution is capable of incorporating powders at impressive rates, providing efficient and precise dispersion even at high viscosities. The Flashmix is designed to handle large volumes of powders and deliver consistent results batch after batch.
