Starting from the principles ‘faster and more compact’ and on the basis of the existing Vrieco-Nauta mixers, Hosokawa Micron has developed a new variant of the batch mixer under the name Vitomix.
Faster and more compact
The first striking aspect of the Vitomix is its extremely compact design. Thanks to a partly cylindrical form (instead of the completely conical shape of the Vrieco-Nauta mixer), the same volume is achieved with a considerably reduced structural height. A second important distinction of the Vitomix is the double ribbon screw used in the design of this mixer. In combination with the larger diameter of the screws, and therefore also a higher transport capacity per unit of time.
High transport capacity
The double screws, the higher rotational speed and larger diameter results in a transport capacity which is up to eight times higher and a substantial improvement in mixing efficiency. Even at lower linear speeds a much more efficient and therefore faster mixing process is achieved.
Two lump breakers achieve much higher efficiency
The two lump breakers (2 x 7.5 kW) are incorporated into the sidewall of the Vitomix mixer. Thanks to this double feature, more fluid can be injected without lump formation than is the case with a single lump breaker at the top. In addition, the design is adapted, achieving a much higher efficiency.

The Silverson AX range of High Shear Rotor/Stator mixers is designed to bridge the gap between laboratory scale mixing operations and larger production units. Ideal for pilot plants, research institutes and hospital pharmacies etc., AX models have a capacity of up to 50 litres, depending on product viscosity. A complete range of interchangeable workheads is available, allowing the user to match the unit’s mixing action to their process requirements. All AX range models can be supplied with a spring assisted adjustable bench stand.
The standard Model AXR is powered by a single phase motor, offering variable speed up to a maximum of 3500 rpm. All wetted parts are constructed in grade 316 stainless steel. The unit is finished in a tough, easy to clean, non-chip white nylon coating.
Increased power is offered by the AX3, which can be supplied with a range of 3 phase hoseproof, TEFV or ATEX approved Flameproof motors. With a maximum speed of up to 6000 rpm with an inverter, the higher rotor tip speed makes the AX3 suitable for more heavy-duty applications including particle size reduction.
The AX/AIR is powered by an intrinsically safe air motor, designed for use in flameproof areas. This 0.33 kW unit also offers variable speed up to a maximum of 3000 rpm.
The AXV has an inverted workhead, which draws materials downwards into the workhead from the surface of the mix. This was developed to overcome the problems traditionally experienced with light powders which tend to float or “raft”. The increased surface movement also makes the AXV suitable for some higher viscosity products.

YTRON-Y ByPass system - Incorporation of free flowing powders without a tendency to stick of form lumps such as Silica, Active Carbon, HPMC, Cocoa, Flour, Carbon Black, can be drawn in below liquid level by the negative pressure created by the rotor/stator system. The venturi shaped stator and the negative pressure created by the flow it affects, draws the powder in, dispersing it instantly and homogeneously into the liquid. The formation of lumps is eliminated.
Certain powders with a low bulk density can be sucked directly and dust-free from a bag or other container.
Liquids such as S.L.E.S., concentrates, additives, and pastes can as well be pumped in via the YTRON-Y ByPass tube, directly into the turbulent zone in the YTRON-Y mixing head. They are then quickly and instantly diluted or dispersed into the batch. The mixing efficiency of YTRON-Y remains unchanged.

Disintegrator 2500
If you thought it couldn’t be done think again. Silverson’s mighty Disintegrator 2500 mixing system will disintegrate, solubilise or disperse the largest of solids - up to 40’ (1000mm) across – in a single operation and in times you wouldn’t believe!
The D2500 incorporates a powerful and unique Silverson mixer located in the bottom of a custom-built vessel. The mixer exerts a massive suction downwards from the surface of the liquid, pulling down even the most buoyant of solids, no matter what the size. These solids are literally ripped apart and dispersed throughout the mix, and with the refinement of a Silverson In-Line Mixer, included in the system, are totally solublised or suspended.

The Duplex is an immersion mixer which consists of two rotor/stator workheads mounted on a single shaft. The upper workhead is inverted so that it draws materials down from the surface of the mix and subjects them to an initial coarse disintegration. The lower workhead then draws this liquid and solid material upwards from the base of the vessel and provides further high shear processing. This system can rapidly reduce solids to a fine particle size, resulting in considerably faster disintegration and solubilisation. The improved product movement produced by the two workheads also makes the Duplex ideal for use on high viscosity materials and for incorporation of powders which tend to float and are difficult to wet out.
The Duplex was originally designed for rapid disintegration and solubilisation of solid rubbers and polymers for the luboil and adhesive industries. However, the considerable advantages offered by the system has led to its introduction into other applications, including in the food, chemical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries. Duplex machines are available in a range of sizes from laboratory scale units up to the KDD, one of the largest immersion mixers in the Silverson range.
Typical applications include:
Rapid solution of rubbers and polymers into lubricating oils, solvents and bitumen
Disintegration and dissolving of solid resins into varnishes, inks and other coatings
Dispersion and blending of press cakes or filter cakes
Rapid incorporation of pigments and fillers
Recovery of waste sugar confectionery
Preparation of plant extracts
Disintegration of frozen meats, bone slurries, meat pastes/purées

Mixing highly abrasive materials such as ceramics, silica, mica, clays, chalk, graphites etc. can cause severe wear to mixing equipment, particularly on the bush and mixer shaft, reducing efficiency and leading to high maintenance costs and downtime.
Silverson offers a high shear mixer specifically for applications of this nature – the Abramix RBX series.
Silverson High Shear mixers are supremely efficient and can cut mixing times by up to 90% when compared to conventional agitators. The shortened mixing times obtained from using a Silverson mixer dramatically reduces the impact of abrasive materials. To enhance this advantage, the Abramix features a heavy-duty shaft which is firmly supported by two precision roller bearings, situated above the level of the product being mixed. The stability and vibration-free running which results from this arrangement removes the need for an immersed bush and reduces the wear to the mixer shaft. Rotor tips are specially hard tipped, further reducing the effect on wetted parts and the associated downtime and maintenance costs - minimum maintenance is a key feature of the design.
Another benefit of the Abramix model is dry running. Mixing of non-flammable products can continue uninterrupted while the vessel is being emptied, especially useful where suspensions need to be maintained or where thixotropic products are being processed.
Typical Applications
• Liquid Glazes - Preparation and Re-dispersion including Incorporation of Pigments, Wetting Agents, Hardeners, etc.
• Ceramic slips
• Clays and Silicas
• Texture Paints
• Foundry Compounds.

YTRON-Z is a powerful unit for dispersing, desagglomerating, emulsifying, wet grinding and homogenising in a single pass. The reactor head of YTRON-Z houses up to three rotor/stator sets, carrying each 3 slotted rows of teeth with different slot widths to allow for adaptation to the specific application. Even shear sensitive products such as Yoghurt and sour cream are treated gently. This has lead to the development of the yoghurt STRETCHING ® process which revolutionised the process of yoghurt production.
The use of YTRON-Z for YTRONising of liquid products lead to results fully comparable to the products formerly processed via high pressure homogenisers, in some cases the results got even better at a significantly reduced production cost.
The use of special, shear intense tooling in continuous processing allows for production of emulsions (O/W und W/O) with a very fine particle size distribution or, in suspensions, an efficient wet milling or desagglomeration process. YTRON-Z is used in Food Processing, Chemical Production, Cosmetic Industry and Pharmaceutical Industry.

Silverson offers a range of High Shear In-Line mixers developed for the disintegration & solubilisation of polymers into bitumen for the production of modified bitumens. The cylindrical body walls are jacketed for oil heating, ensuring that the product cannot cool & solidify inside machines.
Because processing products that solidify when cold requires thorough heat saturation before start-up, the machines ensure heat reaches all areas where residue accumulates.
Sealing is by means of a graphite/carbon fibre gland packing, designed for operation on bitumens. Standard mechanical shaft seals are available according to the application. Like all Silverson units, interchangeable stators can adapt the machine for varying processes.
Modified bitumen production Polymers & rubbers such as SBS, APP, PVC, EVA & Butyl are blended with bitumen primarily used in the production of road surfaces & roofing felts. The polymers modify bitumen to improve its physical stability, flexibility & resistance to extreme temperatures.
Some polymers such as SBS are more difficult to dissolve/disperse & require high shear to achieve a satisfactory mixing time. Silverson Jacketed In-Line mixers attain this. The bitumen/polymer mix is recycled through the Silverson In-Line mixer where the high shear rotor/stator workhead rapidly disintegrates the polymer pieces. This high shear action exposes constantly increasing areas of fresh polymer to the surrounding bitumen, reducing the process time.
Typical applications: Polymer modified bitumen (production of modified road bitumen & roofing felts), Bitumen emulsions, Underseals & waterproofing compounds, Bitumen cable insulation

Compact and amazingly versatile, benchtop MixMate can be used for virtually any mixing application. It accommodates micro test tubes, PCR plates, deepwell plates and MTPs. It features an integrated vortexing function and an operating concept that is as simple as it is intelligent.
2DMix-Control: uniquely fast and controlled mixing movement
Current findings show that rpm speed is not the only determining factor in efficiently mixing small volumes. More often, the perfect mixing process occurs when parameters such as speed, type of mixing movement (e.g., orbital) and the mixing radius are optimized to smoothly run together. Eppendorf has perfected how these parameters interact in MixMate, and we have named this feature 2DMix-Control.
