RPM vs. Peripheral Tip Speed

The latest video to be added to the Silverson Mixing Science series focuses on rpm (revolutions per minute) vs. Tip Speed.

At Silverson we speak with customers who assume that because they ran their lab mixer at ten thousand rpm, they need a production mixer that runs at the same rpm. Whereas others think running their lab mixer at the same speed as production models will replicate the performance of the larger scale mixer. With this animation Silverson explains the difference between the two and why tip speed is the more important factor to consider when using High Shear mixers, especially when scaling up from Laboratory-scale to production mixers.

To watch the videos, visit the Silverson website or YouTube channel.

New small-scale In-Line mixer range from Silverson Machines

Silverson Machines has now launched their new range of Small-scale mixers. These mixers have been developed in response to demand for small-scale In-Line mixers that bridge the gap between the laboratory scale mixers and production scale mixers.

One of the most versatile mixers on the market, Silverson high shear rotor/stator In-Line mixers have the ability to form stable emulsions, de-agglomerate, reduce particle and droplet sizes and blend powdered and liquid ingredients. The rotor/stator workhead is impossible to bypass, so all material is subjected to high shear as it passes through the workhead. Before now ...

How to Mix Locust Bean Gum with Silverson High Shear Mixers

Maximise yield, eliminate agglomerates and reduce mixing times when dispersing gums and thickeners with Silverson High Shear Mixers – giving you the best results.

Many products rely on the properties of gums such as locust bean to give end products the characteristics the manufacturer desires. Used for their rheology modifying properties, these gums, along with others, can be used by manufacturers to alter viscosity, flow behaviour and texture of products. For example, gums are commonly used to improve “mouthfeel” in food products...
