High shear mixer for abrasive materials SILVERSON MACHINES

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.
